In August, negotiations for restricted free agents like the Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga and the Bulls’ Josh Giddey are stagnant due to a lack of urgency before training camps, with a deadline of Oct. 1. Kuminga is hesitant to accept a two-year, $45 million offer from the Warriors, preferring a more favorable contract, while Giddey seeks $30 million per year despite the Bulls’ four-year, $80 million offer on the table.
