Golden State is drawing a line in the sand as it continues to suss out its negotiations with restricted free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga.

Golden State's contract negotiations with restricted free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga could be the result of a key adverse influence.

Nevertheless, that deal is unlikely to materialize, meaning that the Bulls and Warriors must do whatever they can to stabilize the future of their respective free agents. Otherwise, Kuminga and Giddey could end up on different teams next summer, leaving their current squads with nothing in return.
