According to Jake Fischer, a famous reporter from The Open Stand, the Warriors are unwilling to lose restricted free agent Kumingga for nothing.
It is reported that Kumingga has fallen into a passive position in the negotiations. Kumingga does not want to stay with the Warriors, but the Warriors are unwilling to lose Kumingga for nothing.
It is understood that both the King and the Sun offered interest to the Warriors to obtain Kuminga, but the Warriors were not interested in the offer proposed by the King and the Sun. The Warriors insist on using Kuminga for the first round pick and immediate combat power to help the team compete for the championship.
The Warriors reportedly insisted on giving Kuming a short-term contract with a 1+1 team option, rather than the 2+1 or 1+1 player option contract that Kuminga wanted. If the deadlock continues until September, Kumingga will have to sign a one-year qualification offer of 7.9 million and then become a full free agent next summer.
