Jonathan Kuminga does not want to be “Pawn Paw” Warriors – NBC Sports Bay Area & California
Anthony Slater of Espn reported on Friday on “NBA Today” that the fifth year veteran will not return to Golden State if he does not believe he is in the long -term plans of the organization.
“Kuminga wants more than a deal suitable for players-più a signal that is a construction block and not just a commercial resource; the word that I heard on the Kuminga side is” Pedone “, Slater said.” He does not want to sign this two-year agreement of 45 million dollars with a team option in which he is clearly used only to be exchanged in the season.
“It’s not something he wants to register for.”
Kuminga, like most players, does not want to be a commercial bait – wants a house.
The bay was precisely for the 22 year old, since the Warriors selected Kuminga with the overall choice n. 7 In the NBA draft of 2021. But Golden State and Kuminga have yet to conclude an agreement.
Slater explained what aspects they could change Kuminga’s mind.
“Now, if you are talking about a three -year agreement (or) something with a player option that shows him a little more commitment, it is something that would be interested,” Slater said.
The weather is running out of the Warriors to extend the hypothetical deal suitable for players in Kuminga. In the same breath, the attacker must not love what he offers from other teams, considering that the limited free agent has yet to accept an offer.
Slater concluded by saying that neither parts – Kuminga and The Warriors – moved this summer.
“Starting now, the warriors have been hesitant to do so,” Slater said. “Kuminga reports to those who surround him who is very willing and prefers the qualified offer over the course of two years of 45 million dollars, and is dangerous for warriors.
“They could try to call his bluff, but at this moment he seems to be a trend towards the qualification offer.”
