Monk is a good player, but the Warriors have a secret, and it is really a fault that they are ridiculed by the whole league.

When the Warriors' quotation for Qualification 7.9 million to Kumingga is about to expire, the big soap opera seems to be coming to an end. There are only four ways before the Warriors and Xiaoku: First, Kumingga accepts a quotation of 7.9 million qualifications, spending one year to exchange for freedom; second, Kumingga accepts a quotation of 3 years, 75.2 million team-driven option; third, the Warriors seek to sign first and then exchange, completely cutting off the "bad fate" with Kumingga; fourth, after October 1, the Warriors can offer a quotation of qualifications with a low as basic salary, and fight a protracted battle with Kumingga. Many fans are puzzled by the way these four paths are clearly awkward. The King, who is clearly known as the "Warriors Second Team", is willing to rescue him and proposes to exchange Munch for Kumingga. Why would the Warriors disagree?

First of all, we have to admit that Malik Monk is a good player. Last season, Monk averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game with the Kings, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.5%. All three basic statistics were career highs. It was precisely because of his performance that the Kings let Fox go and straighten Monk. Compared with Kuming's season-long report card with 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists, 45.4% shooting percentage and 30.5% shooting percentage, Monk not only has better basic data, but his ball quotient and key ball abilities are also more trustworthy. The warriors were unwilling to agree to the king's proposal, but there was something indescribable.

First of all, the potential transaction is not a one-for-one transaction between two people. In the new season, Monk's salary is $19 million, which seems to be just equal to Kumingga's salary of $20-25 million, but it is not. According to regulations, players who sign first and then exchange can only calculate half of their salary in offseason transactions, which means that in order to get Monk, the Warriors have to pay Moody or Hilde in addition to paying Kuminga. In this way, the Warriors are completely unacceptable. Both Buddy and Moody are a very important part of the rotation.

Secondly, the Warriors' back line is already very bloated. Curry occupies an absolute starting position, and the other starting position is competed by Pojemsky, Hilder and Moody. Among the players who Ming Card still has to sign, Melton and Payton Jr. are also defenders. In this case, it is obviously unreasonable to weaken the already-not-rich forward line and turn to strengthen the back line. The Warriors have been teased as the "Tiangang Dwarf Formation" over the years. They finally improved a little, so they naturally would not repeat the same mistakes easily.

In addition, in terms of additional conditions, the Warriors and the King also had major differences. The Warriors are very clear that they are not protected in the first round. They mean that they think that Kuminga has gone to the king and the king's record will dive down, but the king insists on only being willing to protect the first round. What else is there to talk about? In essence, it is negotiated with the Warriors and Kumingga. One side must give the team options, and the other side must not give the team options. One reason is that it is just a matter of talking about the same thing.

The so-called "watching the fun" is not a big deal. It is really unexpected that the bubble drama between the Warriors and Kumingga can last from the offseason to the present. Many management and experts in the industry are laughing at the Warriors, who will be stuck and unable to move by the renewal of a substitute player, and have not completed a signing so far. It is said that Kumingga's agent has a criminal record. When he was serving Oladipo, he caused "Ku Mamba" to lose 80 million yuan in contracts. Now it makes Ku closer and closer to the qualification quotation, which is really unwise; but how good is the Warriors? Even though he knew that Kumingga was dissatisfied with the team, he still delayed the renewal of the contract until now. When he continued to suffer the chaos, it was because his boss Rakob was too involved in the team's affairs and imposed his preferences on the management and coaching staff. Everything now comes from his own fault.
