Aaron Turner, a guest on Run It Back, explained the decision not to sign the three-year, $75 million extension offered by Golden State.

Jonathan Kuminga’s decision not to sign the three-year, $75 million extension with the Golden State Warriors was also a carefully considered move with an eye toward the future. His agent, Aaron Turner, explained the reasoning while appearing on Run It Back.

“Money coming before basketball is not how you continue to make more and more money,” Turner said, emphasizing that next year’s free agency could offer Kuminga better opportunities. According to the agent, teams such as the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls, which had already explored sign-and-trade scenarios, will have more financial flexibility.

The decision ultimately led Kuminga to Minnesota, where he is set to sign a two-year, $13 million contract.
