According to reports, Jonathan Kuminga reaches the 2 -year agreement and $ 48.5 million to return to Warriors after the contractual dispute
Ala Golden State Warriors Jonathan Kuminga will not go anywhere.
Kuminga has reached an agreement of two years of 48.5 million dollars to return to the Warriors on Tuesday afternoon, second Shams Charania by Espn. The agreement includes a team option “to be torn and renegotiated next summer”. The new contract came after months of a contractual controversy between the two parties who seemed not to go anywhere.
Announcement
Kuminga, according to Charania, has chosen this agreement for a three -year agreement worth about $ 75 million to maintain control over its immediate future. He will be entitled to be exchanged in January, which is something that is still likely to be explored.

The Warriors selected Kuminga with choice n. 7 In the NBA Draft of 2021, bringing it a place in front of Franz Wagner of Orlando Magic, who showed a stellar potential before an injury of last season.
Kuminga has not constantly shown the same promise, even if he showed glimpses of athleticism and creativity that made him one of the highest players in his draft. He scored 15.8 points on average (with shooting bans of 50/31/71), 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in the last two seasons.
Announcement
It is not a secret that Warriors have Kuminga shopping in various commercial scenarios, since it has completely fallen from their rotation of the playoffs in a series of seven games, in the first round with the Houston Rockets.
More recently, the King Miami Heat and Sacramento have been connected as pretenders for Kuminga.
For his part, Kuminga wants a coherent role, which he believes will give him the opportunity to be great.
“Things take time, but I feel as if I were at the point where this must be my priority, to be only one of the boys on which a team relying,” he told Athletic. “Aiming to be an all-star. Several times. With the aim of being exceptional. … wherever I find myself, it doesn’t matter if they are warriors or if it is elsewhere, it’s something I want. I want to see what I could do. I know I took it. So I really want to see it. I never had this possibility.”
It was difficult in a Warriors team that now boasts Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, both who have gained their part of score opportunities. Butler also plays the same position as Kuminga, whose commitment to the defense and sharing of the ball within the offense of the Golden State movement has raised concerns.
Announcement
For all concerns, however, when Kuminga was pushed into a more profile role-poery, Curry has been put aside for an injury in the last four games of their series of semifinals of the western conference against the minnesota Timberwolves-he intensified, with an average of 24.3 points on 55/39/72 that turns in 31 minutes per night.
It is that potential for which he received this profitable contract.
