The Warriors have 24 million space, but they won t give Kuminga! Perhaps the Warriors management has shown their attitude

There is more than a month left before the start of the regular season of the new season. According to the plans of each team, basically the training camp will start at the end of September or early October, and the preseason will begin. Most teams will start to gather to prepare for the new season from mid-September. Many Western teams have strengthened their lineup this summer. Bill and Paul have also practiced hard in Los Angeles for a summer. The Lakers are still busy pursuing Wiggins and intend to build a framework around Doncic. James has become an outsider. Durant and the Rockets' contract renewal are also close. In addition to the two giants, Nuggets and Timberwolves, the competition in the Western Conference will be more intense in the new season. But the Warriors' team lineup list is still only 9+1 (Kuming plus a 1-year quotation of 7.9 million yuan). When will it end? The initiator of this farce was the Warriors management and coach Cole. Cole made it clear that Kumingga was not suitable for the team system, and the Warriors management still tried to persuade the Suns, Kings and other teams to withdraw at high prices, causing the team to stagnate during the offseason. Because the Warriors gave Butler a 2-year, 110 million super maximum salary contract more than half a year ago, the salary space this summer is very limited. If Kuming adds a large contract, it will be difficult to have room to sign others; if the contract quote is not enough, it is likely to be directly snatched by other teams, and it is difficult to get in a dilemma. This is the dilemma faced by the Warriors over the past two months, but there are big problems here! Salary expert Bobby Max analyzed the Warriors' offseason problems and found that things were not simple.

The Warriors currently have 9 formal contracts, with a total salary of US$170 million. According to Max's analysis, the Warriors are expected to sign Horford with a special case of 5.7 million in the mini middle class, which will enable the Warriors to trigger the second hard hat. If they make up for the 14-man roster, they are expected to sign Melton + Curry Jr. + Payton Jr. (total of about 10 million). From this, it can be roughly calculated that the Warriors can use a contract with a starting salary of 24 million to quote Kumingga, which can be 50 million in two years, or 75 million-78 million in three years, which is very close to the 82 million required by Kumingga in three years. US media raised a question: Why did Kumingga only choose two routes, either signing 82 million for three years; or accepting a quotation of 7.9 million for one year, waiting for Mingxia to leave directly?

is very simple. The boss Ragbu doesn't want Kumingga to go. Kumingga gets a big contract (there will definitely be a player option, but this also means he can get more role space and team status). When Butler and Curry reach the end of their careers, Kumingga has the opportunity to become the Warriors' future leader. If you can't get it in the Warriors, I'll go to other places, but it's definitely not a bad team he doesn't want to go to. From the Warriors' perspective, they only offered a quote for Kumingga once, with 45 million in two years (starting salary of more than 21 million, option to lead the team + requiring Kumingga to give up the veto). This is clearly an unequal clause, which is to facilitate the use of trading quotas in the middle of next season. Kumingga certainly did not agree, and he really regarded Kumingga's team as a fool.

The Warriors clearly have 24 million space, but they just don't give Kuminga. Why? In fact, the Warriors' management operations in the past few years have given the answer: since the Warriors deliberately played a bad game for the whole season in 20 years, they got Wiseman and finally sent him away and only exchanged for Payton. They no longer trusted Curry and began to seek a transition from the old to the new. This included giving Poole a big contract, but was immediately beaten away by Green because Curry led the team and succeeded again. The old and new confrontations were contradictory, and the meritorious faction (Kor is the backbone) took the upper hand and dominated the battle. In recent seasons, Clay has left, Curry is getting older, Butler has officially turned 36+ a two-year contract of 110 million, and the team seems to be completely unable to save it!

This is the biggest farce in the offseason. As Los Angeles media analysis, the Warriors management tried to put all the blame on Cuminga and cover up the truth that they did not operate throughout the offseason. This is actually the biggest harm to Curry. Curry just said that he believed he still had a chance to play at the best level at the age of 38. Bay Area media immediately questioned, believing that after Kumingga accepted the qualification offer, the Warriors' new season will be a mess and have no cohesion. The Warriors management knows that this is the case, why don’t you give Kuming a chance? Why do you have to waste Curry's last chance next season? Why do you have to do nothing throughout the offseason? The fact that Butler and Curry both have strong upper limits for leading the team, but this Warriors have no lower limit at all. Who will protect the bottom line?

To put it bluntly, the Warriors did this simply because the management no longer believed in Curry + Butler + Green, and coach Cole. Of course they care about Cumingga, but if this matter is easily reached, the internal conflicts in the new season will become unsolvable again, because Cole is the head coach, but Butler and Cumingga are not dealt with, because Curry is still the top super giant in the league, and the Warriors cannot continue to increase their goals and win the championship, so they can only drag it! If by the end of September, the Warriors management will change its words and add a three-year, 75 million contract to Kuming, it can only show that Curry is ready to end the curtain call, and the Warriors are ready to turn around.
