Golden State Warriors officially announced that the team has completed a contract renewal with forward Kumingga, ending a summer-long negotiation deadlock.
In response to this, media person Feng Hai said: "After a long tug-of-warrior, Kumingga's agent Aaron Turner finally reached an agreement with the Warriors. Before the qualification quotation deadline arrived, Kumingga signed a two-year, $48.5 million contract with the Warriors, of which the Warriors had a team option in the second year.
"Compared with another three-year, $75 million option in the Warriors' option, Kumingga finally chose a two-year contract, hoping to gain autonomy in the free agent market as soon as possible. Compared with the Warriors' initial offer, Kumingga had an additional $8 million increase through this summer, and the salary determined to be taken into account in the new season is at least much higher than a qualification quotation.
"But the Warriors adhered to the bottom line of team options and still held the initiative against Kuminga in the summer of 2026. The completion of Kuminga's contract renewal also means that the Warriors can quickly complete the signing with a group of players who have reached a verbal agreement with Horford, Gary Payton II, Melton and others, and can quickly complete the signing and gather enough people at the time of the training camp.
"Kuminga has always been that Kuminga, full of talent, and can rush towards Gobert during Curry's injury in the playoffs, averaging 24.3 points in four playoffs; but as long as Curry is there and the Warriors' system is there, he is the player who seems to be out of tune with the team, especially after Butler's arrival, he further lost his ecological niche. Fortunately, Horford joins will play a lubricant role in the coexistence of Kumingga and Butler. Kumingga's contract expires in 2027, and will wait for a Warrior whose contracts of Curry, Zhu Meng, Butler and Cole will expire. ”
