Kuminga signs 2 yr/$48 million contract to stay with the Warriors

Team option for second year I believe

Lame. Not that I really thought we would land him at this juncture
 
In other words, he’s a 25 million dollar amount of expiring salary to put in an imaginary superstar trade that Golden State thinks it can make around the deadline.
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)
 
This is an altogether hilarious sequence of events because Kerr is absolutely going to bury Kuminga on the bench again this season behind Draymond and Horford.
 
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
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.
