As Warriors quietly wait on Jonathan Kuminga, West contenders make noise
Briefly

Golden State has not made significant moves in the first 24 hours of NBA free agency, failing to re-sign Kevon Looney, who signed with New Orleans for two years. Restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga awaits offers around $25 million, with the Warriors considering their options. The Warriors have substantial financial commitments to their core players, limiting their cap space. Meanwhile, other teams in the Western Conference, such as Houston and Minnesota, have been very active in reshaping their rosters for the upcoming season.
Golden State's only move thus far was not re-signing longtime big man Kevon Looney, who reportedly agreed to a deal with New Orleans on a 2-year, $16 million deal.
The Warriors have $139 million tied up in the Big 3 of Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, and will have limited cap space to work with if they want to avoid overspending penalties.
While the Warriors have been stuck in neutral, it has been full speed ahead for many of the top teams in the Western Conference.
Houston has spent the last few weeks revamping its team, trading for former Warrior Kevin Durant and signing forward Dorian Finney-Smith.
