Seriously how do you justify losing him for nothing how will they get Giannis if they can’t offer Kuminga like they planned
Signed for 2 years 48 mil with team option.
No way was he signing the QO this basically amounts to a one year deal for a lot more money.

This actually puts a Feb 1 or thereabouts trade for Deebo straight up into play.
Exactly. Although based on Shams wording makes you think it has an implied no-trade clause. Also if we wind up getting him we're somewhat protected in that when contract ends we'd only have to early-Bird him.
That's actually best possible case all things considered. I know that "why he doesn't fit" video was completely cherry picked to make him look 100x worse than the "why he flopped" vids that usually show up on youtube, but it did raise enough red flags.

The Warriors can move their 2026, 2028 and 2032 firsts with the ability to do swaps in 2027, 2029, and 2031. The hard part about any star deal is that the Warriors are so top heavy on contracts that they’d have to include like three of their rotation guys with Kuminga to get a max-level star back all while being capped at the first apron. (They could also just package Kuminga and Draymond but that absolutely isn’t happening lmao)

The NBA CBA.

Don’t tell the Warriors that
Deebo for Kuminga and their 2032 first.
Unless he waived it he has the implicit no-trade clause as part of the 2023 CBA.

Given how negotiations have gone, I don’t think Kuminga would be very picky with enforcing that clause regardless.
I don't think this is right, it's 3 months from the signing date or December 15 for normal free agents, whichever is later. Because this was a Bird deal (I think that's why?) it's a 4th month, so it would have been January 15. But January 15 is 3.5 months away. So I think it's actually 120 days?
@Capt. Factorial back me up I don't feel like googling
I think he'd probably still be most receiving to the two teams that courted him heavily in the offseason (us and Phoenix).

Aside from keeping Steph happy, I have no idea why the Warriors would use their last open roster slot and the meager amount of money they have left on Seth Curry when they already have like six other guards on their roster (Steph, Buddy, Podz, Melton, GPII, Pat Spencer) and one useable wing who isn’t Jimmy Butler.
For Bird deals it's three months or Jan. 15th, whichever is later. For regular deals it's later of three months or Dec. 15th. Key is that although the hard date moves by a month, the "three months" doesn't change.
So the agent talked a good game, but in the end he blinked and the W's won. Interesting.

It’s apparently a front loaded deal so the optimistic view could be that the man got more than double the QO for what could probably end up as a one year deal
