From the beginning of the NBA offseason to the present, no team has taken the initiative to offer Kuminga a big contract, so that he is still a restricted free agent. The Warriors management has previously issued a qualification offer of $7.9 million a year. However, many teams have relatively tight salaries this summer, and many players have not received the coveted big contracts as expected. Grimes and the 76ers, Kiddy and the Bulls are all like this, not like Kumingga, who is in an embarrassing situation.
As the "big fish" Bill chose to join the Clippers, the Warriors lost another signing target. The reason why the management has not made any big moves is mainly because they are stuck in Kumingga's contract; the boss is unwilling to lose him for nothing, and his agent team is unwilling to compromise, so that the two sides are still in the game.
According to the famous reporter Jake Fischer, the source revealed that the Suns are interested in winning Warriors forward Kuminga by signing first and then changing, but it is quite difficult to complete the deal. The reporter further added that after the Suns management reached a buyout agreement with Bill, he contacted Kumingga's agent and Warriors management to express his interest in the striker.
But the Warriors management hopes to get some level of first-round pick compensation in Kumingga's trade, and the Suns obviously do not have such picks or players. According to sources, in the mid-season of the Warriors' potential deal with Durant, Kumingga became the bargaining chip for the two teams, but the deal was not reached later, and the Warriors later got forward Butler.
Last season's regular season, Kumingga played 47 games for the Warriors, averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists per game. In the playoffs, he averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Judging from the data, Kumingga's performance in the regular season and playoffs was no different, but the team's management still believed that he did not perform as expected in the game, so he did not immediately receive a maximum salary contract.
Jake Fischer also revealed that Kuminga wanted a contract with an annual salary of at least 25 million yuan, but the Warriors were unwilling to pay such a high price in the long-term contract. Kumingga's agent has had many discussions with the Warriors management, but even a short offer is OK. Whether it is staying in the team or signing and leaving, the Warriors still did not accept it.
According to previous reports, the Kings are also very interested in Kumingga, but their offer did not impress the Warriors management. According to sources, Kumingga's agent team believes that Kumingga can be signed and exchanged to join the Bulls. But that team also faces many problems at the moment, that is, Kidy, who is also restricted free agent, has not yet finalized it.
Another reporter Sam reported that the market valued Kumingga at an annual salary of about 20 million yuan, but neither the Warriors nor Kumingga himself accepted this price. After four seasons of debut, Kumingga's shooting and basketball skills have not improved explosively, and they are still out of place with the Warriors' offensive and defensive system. This is one of the reasons why the Warriors' management did not renew his contract with a high annual salary.
However, there is not much time left for general manager Dunleavy, and the contract of Kumingga must be settled as soon as possible; after all, the number of free agents in the market is gradually decreasing, and now only Lillard, Westbrook, Paul, Horford, Simmons and others are left.
From the perspective of the Warriors' tactical system, Horford and Melton are both very suitable, and these two people have a considerable chance to sign with this team. Horford's eldest son is a hardcore fan of Curry. Famous reporter Marc believes that this may prompt Horford to sign the Warriors; at the same time, Melton played for the Warriors last season, and the two sides also have the intention to each other, and the possibility of re-cooperation is also very high.
