Not at all," Shelburne said on 95.7 The Game's Willard and Dibs. "I think he's pretty much—look, it's gonna get complicated because of his extension talks and how much money they have and but I think they'll do everything they can to keep him. I mean, I don't think they want to even talk about him."
The Warriors will undoubtedly offer Kuminga an extension, but this is expected to be a tricky financial offseason in Golden State. Klay Thompson is set for free agency for the first time in his career, and the front office has to decide what to do with Chris Paul's non-guaranteed $30 million contract by June 28.
It's likely Kuminga's contract will wait until the Warriors have the rest of their roster sorted out. Long one of the NBA's most expensive teams, Golden State will almost certainly want to try its best to duck under the league's prohibitive second tax apron moving forward.

At least Dunleavy and the FO still have some brains unlike loads of posters around these boards. Imagine watching this Western conference getting younger, lengthier, more athletic and thinking getting rid of our young player with the most potential to add more geezers will get it done for us.
Kid averaged close to 20ppg when starting on great efficiency with massive room for improvement. Of course smart people would seek to keep him and watch him grow even further which he clearly has the potential to do.
I listened to that interview. Ramona didn’t say anything that suggested she’s hearing anything directly from the Warriorsso she’s just speculating like everyone else.
Having said that I agree that this is likely the mindset of the FO. you aren’t trading him for a “decent” role player.
I’m trading Kuminga for a star big and that’s pretty much it.
why do people here assume theyll trade a 20ppg 21 year old for trash?
He gets put in trade talks bc he’s the only play *worth* a damn, and any trade that will make this team a contender has to involve Kuminga
Unfortunately the Warriors are so far over the luxury tax that it’d be impossible to trade Kuminga for anybody good unless they take CP3 and Wiggins with.
That was stated months ago. I hope TJD gets the same considerations.
While this may be disappointing to many, including myself, I think the likeliest scenario,.despite all the big talk, is Warriors make no big moves. Klay is back, Wiggs and JK and Moody all still here. Why? Because there really may not be a deal to be made that would move the needle at a reasonable cost.
Remember he and Poole were supposed to be the future! Ah well, at least he’s sticking around.
Ramona Shelburne is dog shit. Wasn’t it like 2 years ago where she was like “I don’t know if anyone else sees this, but draymond is almost like a point forward”
Everyone is available except steph curry. This is the fact
It’s untouchable until it’s touchable!
Trade him for Kd & Nurkic… solves so much problems and guaranteed legit contender again
JK is making 7.6 million next year. As of today, the Warriors can’t take back a large contract for him being above the second apron.. He’s the future of the Dubs, trading him would be INSANE!!!
Smart move by the warriors. I was hoping they were not as short sighted as the fans on here. I mean we gave away wiseman for a guy who is getting old and can’t stay healthy
He has been the best player we have been able to draft since (checks notes) Harrison Barnes in 2012. And we want to trade him for what?
We are pretty much screwed due to Curry, Green and Wiggins contracts. It doesn’t matter whether they deserve it or not, from Cap space management perspective we are in a big hole.
