While the Warriors have shown interest in working out a new deal to keep him in town, Kuminga has not shown an interest in a new deal with the team. Other teams have shown interest in working out a sign-and-trade with Golden State, but the team hasn't been very willing to do that either.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob has gotten himself involved in the situation, having been spotted alongside Kuminga at a WNBA game. And now, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne has revealed what Lacob has apparently told Kuminga, which shows how invested he is in keeping the young star.
