40 million in 2 years! Kuminga compromises and returns to the Warriors?

No doubt, where Jonathan Kumingga is now the longest waiting for this summer! This talented 2021 first round No. 7 pick is undoubtedly the first male lead in the hottest bubble drama in the free market this summer. Since the opening of the free market, there have been constant reports on Kumingga's contract renewal. But what makes people speechless is that the contract renewal negotiations between Kumingga and the Warriors have not made any substantial progress from last summer to this summer!

From Kumingga we also see what it means to "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die"! Last summer, the Golden State Warriors provided him with a five-year early contract renewal worth $150 million, but Kumingga, who was determined to pursue a five-year maximum salary at the time, resolutely rejected the Warriors' request for renewal because he was sure that he could easily get a big contract close to the maximum salary in the free market this summer! But things went against my expectations. Not only did Kumingga not get the ideal contract, but he didn't even receive a contract offer. There is no doubt that Jonathan Kumingga is now paying for his previous blind confidence. Because the five-year, 150 million contract renewal that he looked down upon before was now an ideal contract that he could not get.

According to previous reports, Kumingga has now reduced the annual salary requirement for his new contract from US$35 million to US$30 million when no one cares about the free market. But unfortunately, the Warriors refused to provide him with an annual salary of 30 million yuan. Now they are only willing to provide Kuminga with a short contract with an annual salary of about 20 million yuan at most. In this way, this will lead to the continued stagnation of the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides! However, as time goes by, the free market heat for restricted free agents has dropped to freezing point, and this situation should have a big improvement in the future. According to famous reporter Marc Stein, it is reported that the Golden State Warriors currently offer Jonathan Cuminga to be around $40 million in two years. Recently, well-known reporter Brett Siegel posted a message talking about Jonathan Kumingga's prospects. Brett Siegel believes that considering that Kumingga has been unable to find a buyer in the market for a long time, the most reasonable way is to reach a short-term compromise contract with the Warriors and strive to seek a deal before the trading deadline next season. If Kumingga is angry and accepts a $7.9 million qualification offer, it will not only mean nothing to the Golden State Warriors, but it will also be extremely risky for Kumingga himself, because he is likely to be refrigerated by the Warriors in the new season, which will make the gains less than the loss.

famous reporter Siegel believes that Jonathan Kumingga's most likely scenario is to return to the Golden State Warriors, and in the case of returning to the Warriors, Kumingga will have three similar options: 1. 70-80 million US dollars in three years; 2. 40-45 million US dollars in two years; 3. 7.9 million US dollars in one year qualification quotation. Siegel said he believes the second option is the most likely right now, namely Jonathan Cuming returns to the Warriors with a two-year, $40 million contract compromise.

Frankly speaking, it is indeed time for Jonathan Kumingga to end the farce! If we continue to waste this, neither the Golden State Warriors nor Jonathan Kumingga will be the winner, and it is highly likely that both sides will suffer losses! But don't forget that the Warriors are the only team in the league this summer that has no signing or trading at present. They have been dragging, consuming and controlling the issue of Kumingga's stay or not. Just imagine, if Al Horford and Melton were unable to come in the end, the blow to the Warriors would be extraordinary!
