The impetus for Kuminga's decision, per the ESPN report, is over the franchise's insistence on having a team option for the second season and their "unwillingness" to allow Kuminga to retain a built-in no trade clause on the contract.

As the "staring contest" between the Golden State Warriors and restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga continues to drag on, there doesn't appear to be an end in sight despite interest from multiple other clubs.
