Bobby Marks on Jonathan Kuminga: “It all depends on him. It really comes down to that he basically controls free agency in Golden State because if they sign him to a contract and bring him back, then that’s really it as far as what they can do in the offseason, as far as they might have one of their smaller exceptions and everything here. And then you look at the rest of the roster, and it’s like, okay, is it [Buddy] Hield? Is it Brandin [Podziemski]? Some of these other players… Guys that are not making that much money. It will be interesting as far as paying attention to what happens to teams looking to shed salary. Certainly Boston is a team that we’ll circle as far as what happens with the Celtics here. Orlando is another team that’s got a pretty high cost moving forward.”

Got a lot of good Locked On Kings pods coming next week:
– a potential Jonathan Kuminga trade.
– a potential RJ Barrett trade.
– if Ja Morant is even realistically available.
All with great guests. Let me know which other topics you’d be interested in hearing about. – 7:00 PM

More on this storyline
Kuminga, league sources said, hasn’t slammed the door shut on a return. Restricted free agency doesn’t really allow it. The Warriors have ultimate control, regardless of his desire. But his comfort about the idea is dependent on several factors and there’s a month of conversation and eventual negotiations ahead with competing agendas in the mix. -via New York Times / May 29, 2025
Kuminga, league sources said, still has visions of becoming an All-Star, not fitting into an ever-moving mid-tier rotation role. He wants to be a featured player in an NBA offense and chase the 20-point-and-beyond dreams he’s spent his life chasing and the last week of his fourth season tasting. -via New York Times / May 29, 2025
