63 million in 3 years, Kings operation detonates the alliance, Warriors refuse to compromise, DeRozan gets what he wants

Whether the NBA offseason can end early depends largely on the performance of Warriors player Kumingga. The rookie, who was selected as the 7th pick in the first round of 2021, is currently in a stalemate with the home team over contract renewal. General Manager Dunleavy offered a one-year qualification offer worth US$7.9 million for Kumingga, but this offer was flatly rejected by Kumingga's brokerage team. After more than a month of repeated consultations, both sides' attitudes have changed. As far as the Warriors were concerned, they were open to signing matters at first. But it is reasonable for management to try to keep Kumingga in Jinzhou for long-term considerations. After all, looking at the entire free market, almost no team is willing to match the salary that Kumingga expected.

, and Kumingga's party initially asked for a five-year contract worth $150 million, but failed to do so. At this stage, they may make concessions and may accept a three-year, $63 million contract. However, this contract does not come from the Warriors, but from the Sacramento Kings in the same division. The ins and outs of things are not complicated. In short, the Kings are quite interested in Kumingga. The two sides have met and are actively and open to cooperation in the new season. Therefore, the Kings are more inclined to discuss a transaction plan with the Warriors that sign first and then exchange. Since contracts are involved, the issue of trading chips is inevitable. ,

As of now, according to Sam Amick, the Kings use Monk and the first round pick protected by lotto in 2030 as bargaining prices, which is full of sincerity. If the draft pick fails to cash as expected, it will be converted to the first round pick in 2031 (the one with the lower pick in the Kings and the Spurs). Obviously, such a quote is difficult to satisfy the Warriors. The Warriors' bottom line is to get an unprotected first-round pick and a potential newcomer. If the Kings increase their trading chips in the future, the Warriors will not be too picky. According to the provisions of "basic annual compensation" in the labor-management agreement, Moody's or Hield may become the leader in the Kumingga transaction. Otherwise, teams with salary exceeding the first tycoon line will not meet the conditions for signing and exchange.

Based on the latest negotiation results, it can be seen that Monk, whose annual salary is less than US$20 million, is a rare and rewarding player on the bench. For the Warriors, if they can get him, it will undoubtedly improve the team's overall strength. However, in this deal, the one who is most pleased with is Demar DeRozan. Long before the trade negotiations started, the Kings tried to use the veteran who entered the league in 2009 as a key bargaining chip for trading Kuminga. No one expected that the Warriors executives lacked interest in the plan to join forces with DeRozan. Because of this, this preliminary transaction plan failed before it was advanced.

Originally thought that the Warriors did not know the goods, so DeRozan did not leave the Kings, but what he never expected was that due to DeRozan's personal charm, the top leaders of the Kings forced to terminate the deal. According to famous reporter Shams, in addition to Horford and Gary Payton Jr., another delayed protagonist in the contract renewal incident is Westbrook, who is about to join the Kings. As for why he was unmoved by the invitations from many popular teams to compete for the championship, it was all because of DeRozan's strong recommendation that the team had the opportunity to chase Westbrook. Considering that Schroeder joined, the backcourt was crowded, so the King was willing to gamble and would rather give up Monk for Westbrook.
