SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 20 – Kuminga seeks a $30M+ contract while Warriors aim for $20M to keep roster flexibility; Bulls' salary cap and trades limit their ability to match demands, stalling talks.
- The Golden State Warriors face a deadlock over Kuminga’s potential move, as negotiations with the Chicago Bulls have stalled, sources report.
- The dispute stems from mismatched contract values, with Kuminga’s camp seeking over $30 million and the Warriors offering around $20 million.

- The stalemate leaves Golden State in limbo, while the Warriors still hope a sign-and-trade with the Bulls is possible.
- The lack of activity leaves Golden State trailing league trends, risking fall behind as NBA teams bolster rosters.
