New contract, same deal: Kuminga’s playing time still depends on buying into Kerr’s vision

The San Francisco Standard
After a contentious negotiation with the Warriors, the young forward will need to meet eye-to-eye with his head coach.
Just because Kuminga’s three-month contract stalemate is over — he’s back on a one-year deal starting at $22.5 million, with an additional team option for another year — doesn’t change that.
ADVERTISEMENTKuminga, 22, has at times committed to head coach Steve Kerr’s vision.
Especially with Butler back, the Warriors don’t need Kuminga to be a ball-dominant offensive player.
Kerr’s public comments about Kuminga’s fit with the team also got brought up during this summer’s restricted free-agency negotiations.
