The Warriors have zero operations during the offseason! The only team in the league, Kumingga s dilemma has become the biggest stumbling block

11:54pm, 7 July 2025【Basketball】

On the sixth day of the free agent market opening, there were constant news of signing and trading in the entire NBA league, but the Golden State Warriors were silent. The well-known Warriors self-media GSW Ball Report posted a composite picture of general manager Dunleavy Jr. and boss Rakob, with the caption point directly: "Official certification: Golden State Warriors - the only zero-operating team in the free market." The offseason status of the Warriors can be called a "vacuum":

sent away meritorious inside line Looney (16 million US dollars signed with the Pelicans for 2 years);

did not sign any free agent;

did not complete a contract renewal with any expired player;

did not reach any player deal;

the future of core young forward Kumingga is pending, and has neither renewed nor traded.

Why did the warriors stop moving? The finger was pointed directly at Kumingga's dilemma.

According to the latest report by an authoritative journalist Anthony Slater, the tension between Kumingga and the Warriors has become a hot potato. If there is no breakthrough in the next week, general manager Dunleavy and coach Cole will fly to Las Vegas to conduct emergency face-to-face consultations with local Kumingga to find solutions. What's even more tricky is that Kuminga plans to meet with multiple teams interested in him in the next few days, and the possibility of potential deals or signing and then switching is rapidly heating up. The silence of the Warriors is deafening, and Kumingga's future is pulling the entire team's offseason layout.

Horford rumors are pending

Early rumored that veteran center Al Horford is close to joining the Warriors, but several authoritative journalists including Shams Charania have not confirmed the news. Horford was an important rotation last season, and averaged 9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in the regular season, while in the playoffs, he provided a defensive value of 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. Whether this experienced veteran can become the Warriors' insider answer still needs time to verify.

Pressure is accumulating

The free market is about to be lagging behind, and the public opinion pressure faced by the Warriors management is rising rapidly. Kumingga's dilemma was puzzled for a day, and the Warriors' signings and lineup construction were difficult to move forward. Should we start a new chapter by decisive trading, or should we convince Kumingga to stay in the team? The meeting between Dunleavy and Cole to Casino may directly determine the Warriors' fate this summer.
