A few days ago, it was rumored that the Bucks "Antetokounmpo" Antetokounmpo may have the opportunity to seek a new owner. However, The Athletic reports that there is no indication that the Warriors will participate in the yet-to-be-formed "battle for the alphabet", and the team's offseason discussions will focus on how to rebuild the roster around Curry and Butler.

Kuminga is the most critical trade chip, and the Warriors are expected to make a qualifying offer of $7.9 million to make him a restricted free agent in July, giving the Warriors some initiative in negotiations. Kuminga's four-year run with the Warriors was up and down, and he was recently dropped in the playoff series against the Rockets, but with Curry injured again, Kuminga returned to the rotation and scored 18, 30, 23 and 26 points in the final four games against the Timberwolves.

Alliance sources point out that trust the Warriors ownerJoe LacobIt would be almost impossible for Kuminga to sign with another team, and the two sides could still discuss a contract extension; However, sources also revealed that the two sides are also expected to explore a "sign-and-trade" option, which would allow Kuminga to get an ideal contract and a fresh start, while also trading for the Warriors for an instant role player. The Warriors' hierarchy generally believes that the team needs taller candidates at all positions at the moment, especially at center.

However, it is still mid-May, and the dust has not yet settled on Kuminga's future, and general manager Dunleavy and Kuminga's agent still have to negotiate various possibilities. According to the report, if Kuminga stays in the future, there are rumors that head coach Cole is willing to try a four-man combination of Curry, Kuminga, Green and Butler early in the coming season.
