The Golden State Warriors have had a quiet Summer.
While Jonathan Kuminga’s restricted free agency drags along, it has put a hold on Golden State’s entire offseason. They’re the only team thus far to not have officially signed a player.
However, that doesn’t mean they don’t have a plan in place.
Warriors Will Reportedly Be Looking to Add Four Players Once Kuminga’s RFA Resolves Itself
NBA Insider Jake Fischer of the Stein Line reported that the Warriors have interest in signing four free agents once Kuminga’s situation is resolved, specifically Malcolm Brogdon, Al Horford, Gary Payton II, and De’Anthony Melton.
“In Brogdon’s case, Golden State’s long-running stalemate with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga has contributed to the uncomfortable wait,” Fischer wrote.
“We won’t know if the Warriors emerge with more serious interest in Brogdon until the state of their roster and luxury tax bill becomes clear in the wake of a resolution to Kuminga’s fate and the subsequent signings that have been long anticipated to bring Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II and second-round pick Will Richard into the Bay Area fold.”
If Fischer’s reporting is accurate, the Warriors are hoping to add four key veterans to the roster ahead of training camp, just in time for the start of the season.
Of course, this all hinges on Kuminga’s restricted free agency. Whether the Warriors can move him in a sign-and-trade or bring him back on the qualifying offer, which essentially shakes out to a one-year deal, the Bay Area waits patiently for Golden State to start gearing up for one last title run with Steph Curry.
