Jonathan Kumina’s agent told ESPN that Kuminga, who is looking for a player option, is willing to accept the qualified offer of Warriors.
The agent of Jonathan Kumingaeaves of the Golden State WarriorsAaron Turner, told ESPN that Kuminga is willing to accept the qualified offer of $ 7.9 million unless Golden State improves his current offers.
“There is a lot of potential,” Turner said in an interview with the podcast “The Hoop Collective.” “He wants to choose where he wants to go. So the qualified offer is real, no doubt.”
Los Warriors They have introduced him to Gnam22, three different agreements, as ESPN reported earlier this week. The most lucrative is a three -year contract for $ 75.2 million with an option of the third season team. It guarantees $ 48.3 million in the first two seasons.
A two -year contract for $ 45 million is also offered with an option of the team for the second season and a three -year contract for $ 54 million without options. Gnamto this point of the negotiations, he has rejected everything that has been presented to him. Ask them Warriors that convert the team option into a player option and sign it.
Los Warriors They have refused to include a player option in any offer to Gnam.
“And [los Warriors] They want to win now, if you want a happy and treated player just, to be an important part of this team, we believe that, from now on, the player option should be given, “said Turner.” A little of that exchange value is lost [al renunciar a ella]. But if it is the present moment, they are given. You do not get a perfect agreement, but one quite good and he feels respected for what he receives, and we all continue and we care about winning, helping Steph [Curry]”.
Los Warriors They are the only NBA team this summer that has not signed a free agent. Less than two weeks from the training camp, they only have nine players in their workforce. Veterans are expected to file Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton y Gary Payton II once the dominoes of Gnam Fall, but negotiations have been stagnant for three months.
And Gnam He signs the qualified offer, would renounce more than $ 40 million in guaranteed money during the next two seasons, but would give him free free agency next summer and a non -transfer clause inherent: a high price to control his own destination.
“If JK wants to accept it, he has potential, right?” Turner said. “We have already spoken. They will not change you. You will have free free agency (next summer). People will say: ‘Well, Aaron, there will be no 10 or 12 teams [con espacio salarial]’. Well, there will be six teams with salary space for one of the best young eaves in the market. So there is a lot of potential. “
Gnam Summer has spent exploring its market, including the general opinions of people external to the Warriors organization. The Sacramento Kings (three years, between 63 and 66 million dollars) and the Phoenix Suns (four years, between 80 and 88 million dollars) have been the most aggressive in the search for Gnam. They have not managed to specify signature and exchange offers that convince the Warriors de sell it.
Gnam He would return to a probable substitute position with the Warriors, behind Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Horford on the front line.
