Jonathan KumingaAaron Turner’s agent, ESPN reported that Kuminga is ready to take a $ 7.9 million qualifying offer until Golden State Warriors Improve their current proposals.
Turner said in an interview with Hoop Collective Podcast, “It is very reverse.” “He wants to choose where he wants to go. So Qo is definitely real.”
The warriors presented Kuminga with three different structures, as ESPN reported earlier this week. The most attractive is three years, $ 75.2 million deal with the team option in the third season. It guarantees $ 48.3 million in the first two sessions.
They are also being given options without two years, $ 45 million deal and three -year, $ 54 million without a deal with the team option in the second season. For this point of talks, Kuminga has rejected everything in front of him. He is requesting that Warriors change the team’s option into a player option and he will sign it.
The warriors have refused Kuminga to put a player option in any proposal.
Turner said, “If (warrior) wants to win now, if you want a person who is happy and behave properly, which is a big part of this team, we believe, moving forward, you give him the player option,” the Turner said. “You do lose a little of that trade value (giving that up). Gets and we all move on and worry about winning, helping Steif (Curry),
The warrior is the only NBA team in this summer that has not signed a free agent. In less than two weeks till the training camp, there are only nine players on their roster. Hopefully they will sign the veterans Al Horford, Dathony melton And Gary Pater II Once Kuminga Domino falls, but the talks have taken place in a three -month gridlock.
If Kuminga signs the qualifying offer, he will renounce more than $ 40 million in guaranteed funds in the next two sessions, but it will provide him with its unrestricted free agency in the next summer and will give him a underlying no-tride clause-a heavy price to control his fate.
“If JK wants to take it, then it’s the opposite, right?” Turner said. “We have talked about that. You are not doing business. You are going to an unrestricted free agency (next summer). Well, the market will have six teams with a cap space for the clear-cut-35 top wing.
Kuminga has spent summer in search of his market, including big opinions from people outside the organization of Warriors. Sakramanto kings (Three years, between $ 63 and $ 66 million) and Phoenix Sun (Between four years, $ 80 and $ 88 million) have been the most aggressive in chasing Kuminga. They have not been able to put a sign-end-trade offer together to woo the warriors to release Kuminga. But they clearly affect his mindset.
“He has got a chance to hear from other teams,” said Turner. “You know, Sacramento, he spent some time with him, (General Manager) Scott Perry, (Head Coach) Dug Christie, The Sun and whatever he has introduced to meet. Play.”
Turner contracted for warriors. He said that Kuminga does not return to the warriors, but Kuminga will suppress his personal ambitions and it matters in a sacrifice contract negotiations.
“I don’t think it doesn’t want to be on the warriors,” the Turner said. “After rebuilding people on all different teams, it is in the form of the first grade. I mean, with convenience, everything is terrible, how they treat people, this, like this, like, is amazing. But, these other places are providing them opportunities to start the game, provide opportunities to finish the game, know your role. ‘We don’t want you to change anything.
Kuminga will return to a potential bench role with warriors, behind one Jimmy Butler, Dramond Green And Horford Frontcourt.
“There is no guarantee that he starts any game,” said Turner. “He can be, but we don’t know. Finishing Games, Night to Night, who knows? It depends on whether Steve (Kerr) has a combination that he likes and it is doing it. Maybe he clings to it. Perhaps he doesn’t. You don’t have much as a ball. You want to bend in parts of your game. Will be able to take something. “
So the Turner said that through this whole process, their message to the warriors is to sell the contract, not the status of basketball if they want Kuminga to be on the board.
Turner said, “You have to sacrifice your game from where other teams will be in their fifth year.” “In addition, he can do business. He knows that he knows. We know. They mean, we mean, we go in search of options. Mike Danli, can we find a sign and business that works? Can we do ducks around this basis, which allows them to bring back half the money. Is. “
Warriors owner Joe Lakob flew to Miami to meet Kuminga in August in an attempt to resolve the contract dispute, but it continues to drag deeply in September.
“(Kuminga) said in a meeting with Joe (Lacob).” But again, you have to take a little hit. “
Kuminga is a hit warriors for the side who is giving him a player option on contract offers of two years or three years. They will be ready to sign a two-year deal with warriors in that $ 45 million range, if they allow him to keep the vested no-trade clause, allows him to say one where he plays further.
But the warriors have not trusted him, either, Kuminga forgives the section without trade. Turner has stated that Kuminga will be ready to deal with a team option. If Warriors lead the number to $ 30 million per year or if they include players, then the current deals are taken to the table. If not, they are threatening to take a qualifying offer, which will give a tank to his trade price.
Turner said, “After two years from now, if you want to keep it, you will have its bird rights (even if you give him a player option),” said Turner. “You treat him well and you show him a plan, perhaps you keep him. (The player option contract) is not right, but I don’t think anyone can get everything they really want. If you ask JK, he wants him Jalen greendeal. He is not getting it. He wants Jalen Johnsondeal. You are not getting that. If the warriors, we think so, choose the front end (of the contract), if that number must be low to live under the second apron, (this A) is the player option. Or if it is actually about controlling the end of the back of the deal, move the number up, shake your roster and you may have a team option. Or, the hybrid model, let him keep your no-trade clause. ,
