I think Kuminga will sign his QO, unless GSW gives him the PO, because he simply wants to go to the team of his choosing as soon as possible, which is likely next summer. He was very consistent on this. They likely can't get much for him if he signs his QO. I think this one will go to the last day and Kuminga takes his QO, unless GSW balks and gives him his PO. I don't understand why GSW doesn't sign a couple of vet min guys - Kuminga stand-off has no impact on them. It only has impact on guys getting more than vet min, where GSW is more or less in all scenarios limited to tax MLE (basically one player with higher than vet min salary). The only other guy that could get more than vet min is GPIII because of his bird rights.
As for Grimes, it seems Philly really wants to keep him as there are reports they are looking to shed salary to open more money for him. I think they will find an agreement on a longer term contract. Seems like they already burned some bridges with Oubre (he has one of those contracts that they seem to be looking to move), who didn't appreciate being seen as an obstacle to resign Grimes.
