"The Warriors have presented Kuminga with three separate frameworks, as ESPN reported earlier this week. The most lucrative is a three-year, $75.2 million deal with a team option on the third season. It guarantees Kuminga $48.3 million in the first two seasons. He is also being offered a two-year, $45 million deal with a team option on the second season and a three-year, $54 million deal without options. Kuminga, to this point of the negotiations, has declined everything put in front of him."
""If (the Warriors) want to win now, if you want a guy that's happy and treated fairly who is a big part of this team, we believe, moving forward, you give him the player option," Turner said. "You do lose a little of that trade value (giving that up). But if it's about the here and now, you give him that. You don't get a perfect deal, but you get a pretty good deal and he gets to feel respected about what he gets and we all move on and worry about winning, helping Steph (Curry).""
Jonathan Kuminga's agent Aaron Turner said Kuminga is prepared to take the $7.9 million qualifying offer unless the Warriors improve their offers. The Warriors have presented three frameworks: a three-year, $75.2 million deal with a team option in year three guaranteeing $48.3 million in the first two seasons; a two-year, $45 million deal with a team option in year two; and a three-year, $54 million deal without options. Kuminga has declined all offers and insists on converting a team option into a player option. The Warriors have refused to include a player option. If Kuminga signs the QO, he would forfeit more than $40 million in guaranteed money over the next two seasons.
