The impetus for Kuminga's decision, per the ESPN report, is over the franchise's insistence on having a team option for the second season and their "unwillingness" to allow Kuminga to retain a built-in no trade clause on the contract.

Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors are nowhere near common ground in contract talks, according to multiple reports.

The Warriors continue to stand strong on their stance to retain Jonathan Kuminga amid strong sign-and-trade interest from the Kings & Suns.
