Famous reporter exposed the inside story of Kumingga s rejection of the Warriors offer! He really doesn t want to play here, Li Yi is very strong

Previously, according to a report by famous reporter Scotto, several sources revealed that the Warriors signed a contract with wing Tyvion Kingsey, which is also the team's first signing operation this summer. This wing is 1.96 meters tall, and is the undraft in 2023. He once played for ten days for a short time with the Jazz.

The management has such an operation, and we can all understand that this team prefers to scrape lottery tickets, hoping that these players with low salaries will play the role of surprises.

Of course, where is Kumingga going? It has always been a focus of the hearts of Warriors fans. Previously, he rejected the latest two-year $45 million offer from the Warriors management, mainly because the second year of the contract is a team option and asked Kumingga to give up the trade veto.

According to Brett Siegel, a reporter from media Clutch Points, we also learned more about Kuminga's rejection of the Warriors' offer. The reporter bluntly stated that there is a difference between the qualification quotations of $45 million in two years and $7.9 million in one year. Since Kumingga is likely to be sent away by the Warriors anyway, from his perspective, it will be more meaningful to accept more money and make full use of his opportunities to embrace changes in the environment.

If he chooses to accept the qualification offer, he will have the right to choose his next home until next summer; if the Warriors keep it in the roster and do not execute the second year team option, Kumingga can still become a free agent by this time next year. The only reason why Kumingga refused a two-year offer of $45 million was that he didn't want to go back to the Warriors to play, but this offer is unlikely to change, and no team in the league offered a better offer to force the Warriors to send Kumingga away.

The reporter also suggested that the Warriors change their offer a little and change the team option to the player option so that they can end the negotiation deadlock with Kumingga. Of course, time is also very tight for both sides, and the Warriors have to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Last season, Kumingga played 47 games for the team, averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 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 is not much different, but the management has always been unwilling to offer him a long-term maximum salary contract; Kumingga himself also demands the core ball rights and tactical status, which is the contradiction between the two sides.

From the author's perspective, the relationship between Kumingga and the Warriors' management is still relatively tense, and neither side is willing to take a step back. Once Kuminga accepts the annual qualification offer of $7.9 million, it will be a loss for him and the team.

For the current plan, the Warriors may be able to accept the reporter's suggestion and change the team option for the second year to the player option, so that Kumingga can temporarily accept this short contract; wait until the middle of the season to see his performance, and then choose whether to trade it, so as to avoid the birth of a loss-loss situation.

Doing something about Kumingga is the key to whether the Warriors can break through the team's combat power limit; although whether Kumingga plays or not, it does not have a big impact on the Warriors' current record. But the next two seasons are the last window for the Warriors to win the championship. Neither the management nor the Curry nor the fans want to miss it in vain.
