The passionate Kumingga, just finished with the Warriors
12:25am, 4 August 2025【Basketball】
The biggest focus of the NBA this summer offseason is naturally also including the soap opera of forward Kumingga and the Warriors; after waiting for more than a month, the plot has been updated again.
According to media NBA reporter Evans of Forbes Sports, the deadlock between Kumingga and the Warriors may continue until September; the reporter bluntly stated on social media that both sides had completely reached a deadlock, which caused the Warriors to terminate all transaction negotiations. What seems to be the most likely situation is that Kuminga accepts a yearly qualification offer of $7.9 million from the Warriors.
If this is true, it means that both sides have reached the last moment of a desperate battle. Kumingga would rather get an annual salary lower than his own strength than fight the Warriors to the end; at this time next year, he will be completely free, and the Warriors will also lose this first-round No. 7 pick in vain. This will be a lose-lose situation for both sides, and the Warriors cannot exchange any chips for Kumingga; Kumingga may also be hidden in the new season, after all, he has seriously affected the interests of the Warriors, and the result of the struggle with capital will generally not be very good. Why did the
both sides have come to this point? According to previous joint reports from ESPN reporter Shams and Warriors reporter Slater, several sources revealed that the Warriors offered a two-year contract renewal offer of $45 million for Kumingga, of which the second year was the team option; Kumingga chose to reject the offer mainly because it asked Kumingga to give up the veto of the transaction, and Kumingga himself believes that the Warriors have too much dominance.
The Warriors' management offered this new offer, which is to let Kumingga perform better in the new season and trade it in the middle of the season to exchange for more useful chips. After all, it was no longer affected by BYC at that time. At the same time, this contract is only 2 years, and the second year is the team option; the new owner who takes over Kumingga can decide whether to renew his contract or give up completely, so as not to cause too much salary pressure.
But Kumingga and his team will not be merciless at the mercy of the Warriors' management and naturally want to fight for the best interests. But the Warriors management killed another shot and directly terminated the sign-in and then exchange transaction negotiations, leaving Kumingga with little choice. One is to accept a quotation of $45 million for two years, and the other is to accept a quotation of $7.9 million for one year at the beginning.
As a fan, we can more or less feel that the Warriors team seems to be forcing Kumingga to make a decision. Is it a compromise or a death-ending battle? Perhaps this farce is about to end.
Former Cavaliers player Jefferson bluntly stated in a live show that Kumingga is similar to Jaylen Green, with high talent but needs to polish his skills. From this we can also see why the Warriors management is unwilling to provide Kuminga with a maximum salary contract. Jefferson has made the reason very clear.
Of course, some fans believe that Warriors general manager Dunleavy has done nothing this summer, but Warriors forward Green believes that Dunleavy's work is much more complicated than what fans see.
American Jake talked about the Warriors' off-season situation and revealed that the Warriors' management probably has reached an oral agreement with Horford, Melton and Payton Jr., but it is still impossible to officially announce it now and must wait until Kumingga's problem is resolved.
From the perspective of salary space, it is difficult for the Warriors to get these three players with their basic salary, and it is very likely that Horford will provide a mini middle class or middle class contract. But if the middle class is used first, it will trigger the hard hat, and the opponent's team can directly get Kumingga for free with the offer that the Warriors cannot match, and the Warriors' management's previous game will be wasted.
As a Warriors fan, I still hope that Kumingga can be more rational and take a step back and compromise without too many choices to minimize his own losses. After playing top-level performance in the new season, even if you are traded by the Warriors, you can continue to accumulate enough confidence for your future big contracts; instead of leaving a bad impression on the bosses of the 30 teams in the league and smashing your own signature.
