SAN FRANCISCO – Jonathan Kuminga’s time in contract limbo appears destined to go down to the Wednesday night wire. The restricted free agent who averaged 15.3 points per game last season has until 9 p.m. PT on Wednesday — the second day of Warriors training camp to accept the $7.9 million qualifying offer.

Stephen Curry understands Jonathan Kuminga is still trying to figure out what his contract situation will be for the upcoming season, but the Golden State Warriors star still expects his teammate to be dialed in when it's time to play.

It’s a matter of days before the Jonathan Kuminga situation gets sorted out. All the discussions are done, but yet, JK hasn’t made a decision. Despite these troubles, within the Warriors, everybody hopes he returns.

As Wednesday night’s deadline hovers, Butler said his advice to Kuminga has been simple. “Do whatever you do that makes you happy,” Butler said. “That’s the advice I would give anybody in any aspect of life: Do what makes you happy.”

It will be the first official signing for the Warriors, though Horford has been linked to the Warriors since free agency’s early days in July. At times, the lack of developments and public comments has caused some consternation from Warriors fans and conflicting messages from reporters.

So I’ve really tried to keep up with Coach Nick’s stuff to admire his basketball genius and learn more about the nuance of the NBA game. This classic video here during the Death Lineup era when the Warriors employed Kevin Durant and ran roughshod through the league in brutally entertaining fashion.

Warriors fans will have to wait three more days to see, well, maybe, if Jonathan Kuminga finally puts pen to paper. All summer long, his standoff has been one of the most talked about, keeping everyone on edge.

There are certainly times when a sapling tree with great potential is snuffed out by a vast canopy, where bigger trees prohibit growth. In these situations, the sapling can righteously throw up its little branches and blame the forest.
