Draymond Green warns Jonathan Kuminga about risk in Timberwolves contract
Summary

Draymond Green has expressed concerns about Jonathan Kuminga's two-year, $13 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green believes Kuminga could be the first player removed from the starting lineup if the group struggles, given his relatively low salary compared to other team members. Kuminga was given the promised starting power forward position and recently chose the Timberwolves over a more lucrative three-year offer from the Lakers. As he enters this crucial season at age 23, Kuminga's performance will determine his future with the team and opportunities for a bigger contract.
