Recently, three TA reporters Sam Amick, Marcus Thompson and Fred Katz got together to talk about Kumingga's current deadlock in renewal. During the period
, Amick said: "If you are willing to believe Kumingga's Ins dynamics, then he is quite comfortable in this tug-of-war. Kumingga needs to believe that he is really willing to go the hardest way, which is to accept a $7.9 million qualification offer and then leave tomorrow Xia as a full free agent. I'm not surprised that he will do this now. However, as a relevant person told me earlier this month, the real pressure of this game will not begin to escalate until mid-September. Because the qualification offer deadline is October 1, and the training camp is around the corner, and that is the time for both sides to be really anxious."
