For the Golden State Warriors, big plans are coming up after they did not have a great end to the previous season. The team had plans to take the next level in the playoffs after onboarding Jimmy Butler, but after Stephen Curry’s injury, things seemed to lose momentum for the team. The team has put focus on Jonathan Kuminga, and have put their hopes high up. With more play time, Kuminga can be explored after he leaves his free agency. If he resigned, it may also lead to the team, limiting all the different opportunities he could have made.

The team fell short last year and it was difficult for them to revive. A difficult move for the team was to come to terms with Stephan Curry’s sudden injuries.

For an NBA Insider, how the Golden State Warriors could turn out, depends a lot on how Kuminga would want to.
Bobby Marks, from ESPN NBA, was speaking on Willard and Dibs, where he said, "It all comes down to Jonathan Kuminga. He basically controls free agency in Golden State.
