Jonathan Kuminga 'Not Accepting Warriors Offers'; Suns' Trade Package Revealed
According to NBA Insider Shams Charania, who spoke with Jonathan Kuminga on Thursday, the restricted free agent is "not accepting the Golden State Warriors' current offers," and is essentially looking to see what else is out there.
Shams on the Kuminga saga:

"He did tell me though that he is in absolutely no rush on doing a deal with the Warriors right now and he is not accepting their current offers...the Suns and Kings are two teams that have made concrete offers with the Dubs over the last week or so" pic.twitter.com/Ua6n7CyBxU
"He did tell me.. that he is in absolutely no rush on doing a deal with the Warriors right now and he is not accepting their current offers... He wants to continue to explore options, sign-and-trade options...
"I'm told the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings are two teams that have made concrete offers with the Dubs over the last week or so, they're two of the more aggressive teams."
What both the Suns and the Kings could offer Kuminga that the Warriors apparently aren't willing to, says Charania, is an opportunity for a starting role and significant minutes.
We've even heard that Grayson Allen is part of the package that the Suns would be offering back to Golden State.
The Suns have offered a package that includes Grayson Allen to the Warriors for Jonathan Kuminga, per @bbrett

The Dubs haven't been interested in anything that they've been offered, however.
For now, "it's a staring contest between the two sides," says Charania of the Warriors and Kuminga, and this could take a lot longer to resolve.
The former 7th overall selection in the 2021 Draft averaged 15.3 points and 4.6 boards in 24.3 minutes per game, and he started just 10 of his 47 contests this past season. In the playoffs, head coach Steve Kerr made Kuminga a non-factor in the first round, playing in just three of the seven games. He only joined the rotation after Steph Curry went down to injury after the first game of the second round.
