Today, NBA reporter Keith Smith talked about the tug-of-war between the Warriors and Kuminga on social media.

"I really feel that the situation between the Warriors and Kumingga depends on who compromises first. No matter what the next contract is, I will be surprised if Kumingga and the Warriors have a partnership of more than one year. If they can cooperate for one year."

Shams reported today that the source revealed that the Warriors made a further offer last week. The Warriors quoted $75.2 million in three years plus the third-year team option. The first two seasons guaranteed salary is $48 million. Other requirements are the same as the previous two years of quotation conditions. The last year is the team option, and Kumingga needs to give up the trade veto.

The key point of the deadlock in the team negotiation between the Warriors and Kumingga lies in the team options. Sources said that Kumingga, who has taken the initiative in his career for the first time, is very resistant to the team options.

Sources said that Kumingga and his agent Turner have been committed to making player options a priority for contract negotiations throughout the summer and are willing to accept an annual salary of about 20 million yuan for this purpose, but Kumingga's team also believes that if the contract includes team options, the annual salary of the contract should be around 30 million yuan.

sources said the Warriors believe that the player option is not feasible. The only full guarantee contract quote given by the Warriors without the team option is 54 million in full guarantee for 3 years, with an average salary of US$18 million.
