The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga may extend their marriage for the time being. A restricted free agent, Kuminga hasn’t had an offer sheet from another team. He remains unsigned while the Warriors scope out potential sign-and-trades with interested suitors.

No deal has materialized, and all signs point towards Kuminga staying put in Golden State. According to insider Brett Siegel, the 6-foot-7 forward also met the team’s executives five days ago when the Summer League tipped off.

The Warriors and Kuminga haven't agreed on a contract, but Siegel predicted them to extend his stay on a $20-$25 million annual deal with a player option and trade kicker. The trade kicker would allow Kuminga to make up for lost money if he agrees on a relatively team-friendly deal with Golden State.

He remains their best bet to find significant roster upgrades, especially in the wing spots. The Warriors are looking for reliable two-way producers to surround the Steph Curry-Jimmy Butler-Draymond Green core.

While they have four first-round picks, Kuminga's future salary would be critical for them to make trades, especially for valuable role players who make around $15-$25 million annual salary.
