The 21-year-old forward for the Golden State Warriors is enjoying his rise to famє, as a massive new contract is anticipated once he becomes eligible for an extension in the offseason.

Since Kuminga is in the third year of a four-year rookie contract, the Warriors will be able to retain him for what is expected to be an extremely affordable $7.6 million next season. But after that, it’s likely the team will have to shell out cash to hold onto their best young players.

Given his recent rise, Jonathan Kuminga might command a salary of more than $130 million when he signs a new deal with the Golden State Warriors.

Although Kuminga won’t be able to exercise his restricted free agent status until 2025, Golden State will have time in the upcoming summer to arrange a deal for both him and fellow third-year lottery pick Moses Moody.

In assessing the kind of money Kuminga could bring in on his next contract, ESPN’s Bobby Marks likened him to another young forward in an interview with 95.7 The Game’s Willard and Dibs last month.

“This is most likely what Jaden McDaniels in Minnesota is looking at. For $131 million, he received five. You’re most likely looking at $30 million annually.”

Kuminga and McDaniels have been compared before; in October, when the Minnesota Timberwolves forward received his contract extension, it was perceived as a potential indicator of what the young Warrior may receive.

Even while it took some time for Kuminga’s preseason performance to carry over into the regular season, the former seventh overall choice has suddєnly become one of the league’s top scorers in recent weeks.

Having emerged as Golden State’s second-best scorer behind Stephen Curry and a contender for the NBA’s Most Improved Player of the Year award, Kuminga has 13 20-point games in the last 22 games.

The Warriors will have a busy summer as they decide on Kuminga and Moody in addition to Klay Thompson, who will become a free agency, Chris Paul’s non-guaranteed $30 million option, Kevon Looney’s non-guaranteed contract, and Gary Payton II’s player option.
