The Golden State Warriors made an announcement during the offseason.
Golden State Warriors Make Offseason Announcement on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Golden State Warriors are not in good graces with fans. It's been over two weeks since the opening of free agency, and the organization has made no moves.
ESPN insider Shams Charania offered some insight behind the lack of action from the Warriors, and it hinges on one player: Jonathan Kuminga.
“The Warriors have not made a move yet this offseason because a lot of what they’re going to do, or trying to do, hinges on [Kuminga’s] restricted free agency,” Charania said on Sirius XM radio. “Does he come back on a deal? Or are you signing and trading him?”
Kuminga is a restricted free agent. It's clear his future with Golden State is bleak, though the club doesn't want to let him walk for free. So are they re-signing him, or will they land a deal on a sign-and-trade?
The Warriors are also waiting on a decision from Al Horford. The former Boston Celtics center and NBA champion is weighing his options between four teams and retirement.

Summer League is underway. A preseason schedule has been released. And the Warriors' front office still has yet to strike a free agency deal.
With Stephen Curry's career winding down and having Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green on the roster, the team is in a win-now position. Simply put, there needs to be more urgency from Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the rest of the front office.
Kuminga's situation is taking time, though, which is likely going to be the first domino to fall.
From there, the Warriors can get active in the trade market and in exploring deals with remaining free agents, as they look to bolster their squad before preseason and the new season.
