The best offer of the Golden State in Jonathan Kuminga, according to what was reported, two years, $ 40 million, well below what he is looking for

There are other free free agents still around the wind Without a contract, but nobody was as dramatic as the stall between Jonathan Kuminga and Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors offers in Kuminga are exceeded at two years, $ 40 million, Marc Stein reports in his scarce. This is short of at least three years and closer to $ 30 million per season that Kuminga, according to reports, is looking for.

This has Kuminga and his representatives still looking for a sign and recently spoke with the Kings front office, Espn’s Anthony Slater reports. Theoretically, Sacramento could offer a contract closer to Kuminga’s desired terms, together with a wider role in the offense. However, assembling a cartel agreement with Golden State would be a challenge. At best. The Warriors want a choice of the first round and a young promising player in any trade for Kuminga, also they do not want to resume long -term negative contracts. It is unlikely that a team would give up a choice of the first round for Kuminga at this point, at least one who was not strongly protected. As for the young player, the kings are not deep with that type of boys. Sacramento is not surrendering to Keegan Murray, so he leaves players like Devin Carter or Nique Clifford just designed, and the kings are not anxious to include them.

This is probably resolved closer to the beginning of the training field, with Kuminga that accepts the very negotiable two -year contract, but at a slightly higher price than it has been offered (not wrapping Kuminga has warriors in limbo, not having signed the boys already as well as at Horford and de’Antthony Melton, because they have to see where I am after Kuminga’s signature).

The challenge is that Steve Kerr will have to highlight Kuminga and give him a real possibility – and stay with him through some mistakes. He is demanding in a list with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler as primary ball managers and the boys who should have the ball in his hand. In addition, Kuminga is truly the best for the four, but this is Draymond Green’s slot, and Kerr cannot play Kuminga (30.5% from 3 last season) and Green (32.5%) together with the lack of shooting.

Kuminga and Warriors can be a marriage of convenience to start the season, but it could be the only option for the two parts that make sense.
