ESPN's Ramona Shelburne recently went on NBA Today on Friday to report that Warriors owner Joe Lacob told Kuminga that he wants him in Golden State for the long term.

Monk was nearly a 20+ points per game scorer this past season as a member of the Sacramento Kings, notching 17.2 points per contest in 65 outings. However, the former lottery pick struggled with his three-point shot in Year 8, as he only recorded a 32.5% long-range shooting percentage.

The owner of the Golden State Warriors reportedly has a clear stance regarding Jonathan Kuminga's future with the franchise.

However, everyone is not falling into that propaganda. Former NBA guard and Michael Jordan's ex-teammate, Harper, dismissed the comparison after NBACentral shared the report. “Well no,” Harper commented on NBACentral’s tweet.

Shelburne's idea could solve the current rift between Kuminga and Golden State's front office. However, if he's dead set on signing his qualifying offer or forcing his way out of the franchise, no alterations the front office makes will be deemed good enough.

The Golden State Warriors have been predicted to trade Jonathan Kuminga to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for three players.
