The Warriors are holding firm in talks, reportedly demanding that Sacramento’s 2030 first-round pick come without protections, a condition the Kings have so far refused to meet.

According to Charania and Slater, Kuminga’s team presented the Warriors with a three-year, $82 million offer that would help the team stay under the second apron, thus ensuring that they maintain the ability to use the taxpayer mid-level exception. For now, it seems that price is too high for the Dubs ... at least without some options in there.
