Jonathan Kuminga said he consulted with a number of his teammates during his lengthy contract stand-off with the Golden State Warriors, including Buddy Hield, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry.
“I spoke to Buddy. I spoke to Draymond. I spoke to Jimmy. I spoke to Steph. All of them. I had a 20-plus type of conversations of how contracts work, how to feel about certain things. They were teaching me certain things,” he told Marc J. Spears of Andscape. “We had a [players] team camp out there in San Diego. I did not go. That’s when I had to speak to Jimmy and tell him how things were going and that I can’t get there. He’s one of the guys that really understands where I was coming from because he’s been through contract situations. And me and Steph had a long, long talk and I really appreciate that. Me and Draymond, obviously we always talk, but we had a long talk after he was coming back from China. They just gave me hope and patience for sure. I felt like I was comfortable after talking to them. You’ve always got to hear from certain outlets and they’re the ones that I really needed to hear from.”
