2026 NBA Season

so what do you think about his claim?

Jonathan Kuminga compares himself with Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes

This is  link to the money he’s getting. From what I see, he probably wants more because he believes he’s on the same skill level as the players mentioned who are receiving higher salaries. So the question is, do you think he’s being delusional here, or is he just making noise out of disappointment with his current pay?

He is way far from the 2! He needs more improvement and if does i  think still not close. We can see Barnes and Cunningham get to the top of their team and get the respect and popularity.
You dont call it, it will be given to you. Playing with step gets more easy basket, great pass and clear view because of opponents D to steph.
For me, Kuminga is dreaming on his dream. He should fix his attitude or he will miss a lot of good contracts.

Well, at some point the difference is clear because Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes have much bigger gap in playing time compared to Kuminga.
That's why you can't really say they're the same as Kuminga. If they all had the same playing time, then we could make a fair comparison.
In fact, Kuminga might even turn out better if he got same playing time.

I actually think Kuminga could be this season's Most Improved Player, as long as he gets enough playing time or secures starter for the next season.

LOL, while there is no denying that Kuminga can play, he is not a player that can lead his own team like the 2 guys he is comparing himself with. So I think that's just funny. Sure you can have confidence and so on but you still should like in the reality.

Obviously his skill level isn’t quite there yet, but he’s better than we get to see. Golden State has been holding him back intentionally to try and get him under a new contract. I have no doubt if he was the main guy for his team he would do alright. Maybe not Cade Cunningham success, but he would do better than Jordan Poole.

Jonathan Kuminga compares himself with Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes

Kuminga couldn't even get enough playing time on an already declining Warriors team, does he really think he's on Cunningham's level? If that's his real feelings, he's only fooling himself. A 2-year $45 million contract is a pretty good deal for him. He should either accept it or move to another team. After all, it's a fact that he won't win anything with the Warriors. That team might not recover for another decade. The championships they won are in the past already.

I don't want to agree or disagree on it because all 3 of them are playing on a different team.

Barnes and Cunningham are from a team in which they're the main guy on that team. Barnes on the Raptors and Cunningham on the Pistons and of course, their stats are better since they're doing most of the tasks such as shooting, playmaking and more. Kuminga on the other hand is on a team where he isn't the main guy, and not the 2nd option on offense as well that's why his stats are lower compared to this 2.

Skills-wise, he might be, but he might prove it first by going to another team, lower his salary that he wants and show to the league that he's worthy of being given a $35M per year contract because as of this moment, he really isn't worth it. No teams want to give him that huge of a contract because of the new CBA. Like what I said, time is ticking for him, and it doesn't sound good for him.

That's why I'm also thinking, it's a fair contract that the Warriors have offered him and yet he declined it and perhaps he really wanted to get out of the team already. But him comparing to those two? Nah, his ego his running wild and this could be one reason that he might not get a big contract from other teams as well. He is still young though, but we can't really tell what the future hold. And again, he is betting on himself and we have seen players doing it and losing and no longer in the league. Case in point is Schröder who is offered by the Lakers with a huge contract but he declined and now he is bouncing around the league.

He has to make some noise if he wants to still get a good contract. But with the way he demands it, only team that appreciates him will bite to what he's asking. He may know his worth and that's what probably he's thinking. Although he has to remember that he's in the NBA, one wrong move and decision with the contracts, it's a hit or miss. I think one of the execs or from the management of the Golden State Warriors said that they want to take Kuminga for the long term but he's trying to be out so, that's no longer a thing for them unless he comes back and decides for best.

Maybe he's really better or in same shoes but unfortunately for Kuminga he just didn't get a chance to prove his self since Warriors is loaded with stars. Also the main focus of their rotation is with Steph and Klay before even know they choose Buddy Hield over him.

But maybe if it happens that Kuminga is on other team which have lacking of star maybe he can justify his claims. But for now everything is just a boastful act and people might not agree on what he just said.

Kuminga is so controversial now hopefully he won't get same faith as what Schroeder get and he can prove his self that his good or maybe a star caliber player.

His playing time started to go down when Butler came to the team. Reports even said they don’t really have a positive output when playing together, so the coaching staff is probably still trying to figure out how to adjust and make them work.

Of course, the team is going to put their trust in a proven player like Butler. But Kuminga is still young, he’s got the talent, it’s just a matter of the coaches using him the right way. As for his contract, better to wait and see what he brings to the table next season before making a speculation.

But he also has problems being inconsistent as well that's why he wasn't able to be given enough time to play. And indeed, when playing together they don't have that camaraderie and it seems that there is some gap along the way.

I still think though that with this issue, maybe Steve Kerr can do something about it next season if Kuminga is going to stay with the Warriors. But it seems that he doesn't want to play anymore and could be that the relationship has been broken already.

[Ziskinberg]

I still think though that with this issue, maybe Steve Kerr can do something about it next season if Kuminga is going to stay with the Warriors. But it seems that he doesn't want to play anymore and could be that the relationship has been broken already.

He’s currently a restricted free agent, and it already looks like he doesn’t really want to stay with the team anymore. Problem is, he’s not getting any real offers from other teams. If he does get one that the Warriors can’t or won’t match, then he’s free to leave.

But as things stand right now, the most likely scenario is he just ends up taking the qualifying offer. That way, by next season, he’ll become an unrestricted free agent and can choose where he really wants to go.

Honestly, I don’t think Kerr can “fix” much if the relationship between Kuminga and the Warriors front office is already damaged. Once a player checks out mentally, no amount of coaching magic is going to make him fully buy back in. At this point, it’s less about rotations or schemes and more about whether he even ,,wants,, to stay.

The restricted free agent situation is tricky though. The market is clearly colder than Kuminga probably expected. If no team is willing to throw a big enough offer sheet, then yeah, the qualifying offer path seems most realistic. One more year, bet on himself, then walk as an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

He is already on the path to become the next Dennis Schroeder based on his current cold market offer.

Honestly, I don’t understand where did he get that kind of confidence to turn away a very good offer from Warriors despite he is not being used properly. He is so inconsistent when he needed the most so I doubt any team will prospect him.

Perhaps his attitude makes him hard to synchronize with Kerr system.

He have this frustration on which he didn't get quality minutes and feel like he's been ignored by the management. That's why he openly saying that he want to leave Warriors and try to explore the market.

But unfortunately for him it seems that situation is not favoring on what he likes to happen since his market value became more lesser and lesser. That's why if he won't accept those existing offer he currently have. Maybe we could see a same like Schroeder situation which he might provably regret later on. So better he should avoid that situation and try to perform more better next season and prove that he deserve to be on other team then get those contract what he deserve to get.

I'm still confuse why the warriors don't want to let him go, if they really dont want the guy to play for them, they are just now fishing for a good offers, if not they will just let kuminga have nightmare on them, suns did have a good offer for kuminga although the package that suns that going to recieved is not okay, i guess kuminga will stay for the warriors while Kerr going to make him more frustrated, even with good games Kerr seems to bench him or will not play him after a few quarters, I'm not buying how Kerr praise kuminga, there is something wrong with kerr on how he treats the guy.

John Wall has announced his retirement from the NBA. Once one of the most promising guards in the league, his career was marred by injuries and he was always on some stupid gang shit. He was explosive though. Like Russell Westbrook with a better shot selection. A shame he never reached his potential, but he was fun to watch.

Good luck to him in his next chapter of his life.

He's sure a good one but just because life was after him and those injuries that he's been, he could have reached his potential.

Anyway, another one that has retired but I think tha there will be more overseas offer to him if ever he's still wanting to play basketball. Maybe CBA.

Anyone here knows who Jonathan Kuminga's manager? I'm asking as he needed some good advice right now in his career. And for us, it's obvious, step aside his ego and play with the Warriors, learn and re-learn from them.

And when he is free agent then he might get a good offer in the next 2 years. Unlike what is happening to him right now, his career has stalled already and for sure the relationship with the Warriors team is sour and can't be fixed.

His value is going down, because of how kerr is doing to him, if he still stays there who knows if there is a team that will going to get him in a good offer, they will low ball him, definitely kerr is messing with his career this is so obvious taking you out in a game where you are doing better and scoring? that's at legit sign right there, they don't want him to have a breakout game, I've been looking in this guy, and he's a legit player, no disrespect to kerr but he got some issues, and it has not to reflect on other players career, the GSW have already had a great team when he comes, he just came at the right time, the prime team, look what happen when the players are aging, mark Jackson should be praise for developing the team.

That's how business works in the entertainment industry. I don't think the Warriors will get sour at him especially if they cannot find one to replace him. For Kuminga's agent, it will be wise to make a decision as soon as possible because he might not find a new home and it's going to be a bigger problem.
Kuminga may be young but the position can be the problem. Most team have elite players on the same position so they might need one and if they are asking a price larger than what the Warriors is offering, it will be tough to find a team who will waste a cap space like that especially for a non-star.
