Where the stall is located between Jonathan Kuminga, Warriors

By 1 October, we will know where Jonathan Kuminga will play basketball next season.

This is the date on which Kuminga should take the qualifying offer of $ 7.9 million and play next season with the Warriors. This is a “nuclear option” (As Sam Amick by The Athletic said) that neither parts wants, but the post on Kuminga social media who is willing to bet on himself suggests that he is taking him into consideration.

There has been a lot of sound and fury around the free agency of Kuminga, so far not meaning anything. Here is where things are located right now, according to several relationships.

• Kuminga rejects the offer of warriors. The Golden State Warriors offered Kuminga a two -year contract of 45 million dollars. While Kuminga would like a larger pay day-his agent according to what was reported contrasted with three years, $ 82 million-the biggest reasons that rejected the offer was because Golden State is insisting on a team option for the second season and that Kuminga has given up on the incorporated no-trade clause would be with a two-year agreement, Reports Shams Charania and Anthony Slater by Espn.

• Money is similar everywhere. According to reports, Kuminga was looking for something close to $ 30 million per season, but the market no longer offers the low range of $ 20 million a year. The Warriors offer was two years, $ 45 million ($ 22.5 million per year on average). The kings offered three years, $ 63 million (average $ 21 million), Amick reported. The Kuminga agent, Aaron Turner, spoke with Phoenix, who according to what reported four years, $ 90 million – exactly what the Warriors offered a year, only with more years.

• Suns, Kings Trade offers non -impressive warriors. The hope both for Kuminga and for the warriors at the beginning of the free agency was to find a sign that obtained Kuminga in a new home and reported players and resumes in the Bay Area that the Warriors wanted. Sacramento and Phoenix spoke to the warriors, but no offer approached to be accepted.

Sacramento offered a package based on Dario Saric, Devin Carter and a choice of the first round protected by the lottery, but the Warriors rejected him, Jason Alexander reports to the Ape Sacramento. Warriors want the choice to be protected. They would also like Keon Ellis included in the agreement, but it is prohibited according to the relationship (as Keegan Murray is, but this should go without saying).

Phoenix’s commercial offer is said to be something on the Falsariga di Royce O’Neale, Nick Richards and three choices of the second round, but Amick reports that the Warriors showed “zero interest” in that offer, adding: “For team sources, the talks between Suns and Warriors never progressed seriously.”

Kuminga takes the qualifying offer? We are very far from what must happen, and there are good reasons for both sides to find a middle ground before. For warriors, that qualified offer is provided with a no-trade clause, which means that they may not be able to exchange it and Kuminga comes out of the door for nothing next summer. For Kuminga, playing a season at $ 7.9 million leaves a lot of money on the table. In a career in which your window to earn the best dollar is not very long, and this does not even mention the risk of serious injuries or something that could damage future earnings.

Kuminga, 22 years old, marked on average 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds in 47 games last season (he wasted time with an ankle injury).

At this moment, more than six weeks from the training field also at the opening and a couple of months from the expiry of October 1, everyone can do their public posture. There is a certain pressure on the warriors to resolve the situation of Kuminga so that they can formally sign the Horford and finalize their list, but they can afford to wait a little. In the end, the sides will probably find a middle ground.

For now, Kuminga is the greatest out of season drama still on the scoreboard, and this is arousing a lot of interest.
