Despite this staunch belief in Kuminga's ability, however, the Warriors also won't pay him like you would a player you project to have star potential. The offer on the table remains a two-year, $45 million contract with a team option in the second year that asks Kuminga to waive his implied no-trade clause for having just a one year guarantee.

The Kings haven't given up in their pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga, but they haven't been able to reach a deal with the Warriors.
