Interesting. As far as we're concerned it is just going to come down to if they get an injury and we have a guy who can fit right in for them, frankly I'd be just as happy to deal with anyone else.
[Trade] Warriors have obvious Jonathan Kuminga trade demand after latest Kings reports
Did they though? This is a better deal for Kuminga than taking the QO. Unless he waived the implicit no-trade and nobody has yet claimed he did. That was the hang up with this two year deal before.
This can't be correct as I was told that the Warriors don't give player options.
Hopefully.

No he didn't, lol. They got exactly what they wanted.
Depends on whether he has the trade veto. If so he did, if not it was effectively a stalemate.

Well, hearing he was getting the full MLE was crazy talk. Kings would have given him that though. haha.

That would make it better but this was always about 2027. The Warriors do have an actual gameplan tied to their risks from the looks of it.

It is the full MLE, just the one for taxpayers and not the juicy one non-restricted teams get.
They could have given him a 2 year with no options and still be free in 2027. Them insisting on a team option for a guy they are trading and trying to force him to waive the implicit no-trade as terms of signing the 2 year deal were GSW pushing their weight around under a 2023 CBA provision designed to protect players from involuntarily surrendering their Bird rights. It was little talked about in all the will he or won't he but it was the primary reason Kuminga was rejecting deals.
Does Bonta ever actually clarify what is interesting about the contract language (not in the thread apparently)?
Rules don't apply to Warriors I guess.
Reports are that Kuminga is waiving the no trade so I guess Dubs win. Although still better than the QO which I said would be leaving millions on the table.
We're probably going to be linked to him as a target of interest if he sucks for all eternity (see Kuzma, Kyle).

This saga was like when some of us spend 4 months deep diving the draft only for the Kings to trade their first round pick.
This is probably a better outcome for Kuminga than the QO. Either way he has to play for the Warriors for at least the start of this season. He can still control his own destiny a bit because he can chose to extend with the team that trades for him (at a later date) or he can refuse and that gives him some leverage. Still kind of a raw deal to be just a trade asset and not value to your team.

If he likes the team he moves to (and they like him back) he gets paid earlier assuming he's a 30-40m guy on his next contract. Way better deal than the QO. If he gets traded to a bad situation he's pretty much screwed when the contract ends but at least he got paid for these two years.

I don't want to hear his name again until we play the Warriors. Still will tune in to Carmichael Dave on the way to work, and DLo and KC on the way home tomorrow.

how many QO's are they eligible to offer?
