Reject the Warriors again!

According to the latest report by well-known reporter Marc Stein, the Warriors offered a two-year contract renewal for young forward Jonathan Cumingga with a total value of $40 million. This sincere offer has been clearly rejected by Cumingga's team and was rated as "far from meeting expectations."

What is more interesting is Kumingga's reaction to the quotation - keeping silent throughout the whole process. Stein pointed out that Kumingga neither accepted nor made a counter-offer, and this silent confrontation further exacerbated the already tense relationship stalemate between the two sides.

Faced with the deadlock, Kumingga's team is actively looking for a breakthrough. Several sources revealed that their team is fully exploring the possibility of signing first and then changing, and the core goal is directly aimed at two points: one is to strive for a long-term contract that significantly improves compared to the Warriors' current offer; the other is to ensure that the new team has a more stable and more important tactical role positioning.

Regarding the specific salary expectations of Kumingga, reporter Brett Siegel added key information: the long-term psychological price of Kumingga's camp has always been around US$30 million in annual salary. However, in the current market environment, if you can get a contract with an annual salary of about US$25 million, Kumingga expressed his willingness to sign and write. This subtle change may provide realistic bargaining space for potential transaction negotiations.

Last season, Kumingga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in a limited 47 regular season games. His physical talent and impact on both offense and defense have emerged. Anonymously analyzed by a Western team management person: "He is worth more than 20 million, but 30 million requires explosive progress. 25 million is a real compromise. The key is whether the Warriors are willing to bet on the future, or some teams are willing to use space to take over."

The Warriors management is facing a difficult choice: should we raise the offer to retain this potential forward, or should we bear the pain to get rewards in the transaction? Kuminga's silence has kicked the pressure ball back to the Warriors' half. This salary game involving the core of the future has undoubtedly become the most urgent strategic issue for the Warriors during the offseason, and its direction will directly affect the team's future competitiveness map.
