I truly don't understand why they're scoffing at Monk. That's an archetype they ACTUALLY do need, behind Steph as a ball-handler/creator. Them being resistant to trade Buddy (lol) or Moody (who they also screwed up developing) is even more insane.

So they're really just gonna let Kuminga rot on the bench with a QO?

I'm guessing it's because they already have Steph, Draymond, Podz and Butler for ball handling. They're probably looking for more defenders and less redundant skills.

This JK story line is developing a crust and there are signs of mold.

 

[PacMan]

Draymond is going to give Kuminga a Jordan Poole special in practice if this drags out to training camp

 

[NewArena]

All I know is this recent Sabonis interview made me raise an eyebrow for sure lol I do NOT expect this roster to be our final one before the season begins

JK could destroy green. Green only picks on people he knows are either too nice or smaller than him. Though I’d like to see green take a try at JK

It's because $$$ and the tax lines and knowing they won't find a taker for Buddy.

Ya he isn’t getting close to Kuminga unless it’s a clear hold me back situation

The protection on the first should get worse by the day

If they haven’t talked in two weeks, I guess that means there is no new interest from other teams either. Any talk with another team would require feedback from JK about the contract they are willing to offer.

It’s crazy how poorly GS has handled this.

There's nothing to talk about. The Warriors have given him 2 options. Take the 1 year QO or the 2 Year $20 mil. I guess he has a 3rd option to go oversea's.

I remember a day when there was little market for a player the players agent or representation were on the clock, not the team. Unless the Bulls have interest and Kuminga knows it, next summer isn't going to be much different. There is so little money out there next season that the Bulls could literally strong arm the league at the deadline if a team is looking to move off money. How did the Kings become the Bulls and the Bulls become primed for a quick rebuild? This is crazy.

 

[White_Chocolate]

They definitely will trade him if he is actually intending to sign the QO

If he waits until the start of the season they can't trade him on the 2 year. If he takes the QO they can't trade him and lose him for nothing but I guess they can sign their targets. Its still best for them to play ball on the deal we're offering. At some point he can also sign a multiyear MLE deal with a team that wants to F with the Warriors.

 

[SacKings123]

I had the same feeling. They basically lose him for nothing if he accepts the QO. That means he is free to join any team next off season as an unrestricted free agent

They could still do a sign and trade but they have less leverage.

Sign and trades on unrestricted FAs usually means taking back total garbage just to appease the outgoing player's agent or possibly try to flip. Good luck to the Dubs. not really

 

[Section 101]

If he signs it, they cant trade him without his consent. Your assuming he tells them I'm signing before he actually does.

Which he basically has done

So was he pro Kuminga or anti-Kuminga?

Yeah, they've done a horrible job posturing their "position of strength". Kuminga signing the QO just effectively nukes any sort of value or return they get. I'd be curious if it gets bad enough where GS basically just has to take whatever we "want" to offer them. Or would they rather just let him rot for a year and not trade him?

God I made it 4 or 5 paragraphs down before I threw up and closed the article. Nothing he can ever do, ever, will allow him to blaze his own trail. Just own the privilege and try to do some good with it.

*5-125 is less per year than the 3-90 deal that’s been reported for the last couple weeks though lol*

Either way, it looks the Dubs blew it up.

 

[Jdbraver137]

Gonna love the Kuminga drama during the first half of the season. But if I’m GS, do I really want a disgruntled player hanging around in one of Steph’s last years?
