Agent: Kumingjia loves Warriors fans and hopes to achieve a reasonable compromise

Recently, Aaron Turner, the agent of Warriors restricted free agent Kumingga, told NBCS in the latest episode of "Dubs Talk" that the qualification quotation route is not an ideal result for both parties.

When asked whether Kumingga would accept qualification quotes if the team option is not changed to the player option, Turner responded:

"I mean, I hope I won't go that way. I don't think Kumingga wants this, and the Warriors don't want it. I hope we can solve the problem and find a compromise that is reasonable for everyone so that everyone can do their best."

"We don't need these interference factors... I'm not blaming anyone, but the new season is about to begin and everyone must reach a consensus. I think this is crucial to everyone. I know Kumingga wants this, and I hope the Warriors can think this way - I believe they should hope this. Hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible."

As of now, the Warriors have not included player options in all the quotes to Kumingga.

On Friday, on Steiny & on Turner At the end of the Guru interview, Kumingga joined the link and passed a sentence to the Warriors fans through his agent: "I love you."

Turner said: "He loves fans and wants to stay and become a part of the team. Giving him the options for players does not mean he will leave. Everyone always says 'He is leaving', why do you think so? The Warriors have his Bird rights, and this is a very influential team. But he needs a little say, and he must stay because he wants to stay. "

"This summer is too long, we are all tired, but we are still working hard to move forward. Hopefully we can find a solution to calm down and deal with it rationally."

Although the Warriors provide higher average salary, the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns have offered Coommina a higher total contract, and both include player options. Turner said that the Kings and Suns also promised that whether it is compared to Kumingga's first four years with the Warriors or his positioning under the Warriors' existing lineup configuration in the 2025-26 season, he will give Kumingga "more investment at the basketball level" (i.e., more core roles and training resources).

Turner said that both the Kings and the Suns can meet Kumingga's goal of "taking more important roles, playing starters and key balls" - and after the trade was won by Butler last season, the Warriors could no longer provide him with such an opportunity.

In the 2021 NBA Draft, all the six players who were selected before Cuminga had never won the championship in his rookie season like he did, nor had they fought alongside many future Hall of Fame players, but they all received "more opportunities, more room for fault tolerance" and all signed contracts worth at least $100 million.

This is also one of the reasons why player options are so important to Kumingga. He believes that his role in the Warriors in the first four years is unstable. Combined with his current and future adaptability prospects in the team, and his situation of being simply regarded as a bargaining chip for the mid-season trading, he deserves the treatment of "giving players options" which reflects sincerity.

Turner said: "From the beginning, our position is: if we want to make the team's salary lower than the second rich line, to compete for the championship, maximize Stephen Curry's championship window period and build a lineup, we need to accept a certain salary number. No problem, we are willing to cooperate. But please give us the initiative in the later stage of the contract. ——Kuminga can still stay with the Warriors, there is no rule that he can't stay, and the team still has his Bird rights. But it has to be decided by himself. "

" And if you have confidence in yourself, the player option is very valuable. It's almost like an insurance, not an action that must be performed. It's a way to create flexibility... This is our theory. Let's get rewards in the future in exchange for the sacrifices made before, such as not being able to really chase his personal ambitions, not fully expanding his skills, maybe being traded in three months, and this kind of capriciousness over the years."

Kuminga's side's appeal is to get the player option, the deterrent means to accept qualification quotes, and the team option is not completely inconsistent for them - Turner even proposed a compromise.

"We are not against team options," Turner said. "We have discussed team options and are willing to consider them, but our idea is that if you keep the team options, you must increase the salary figures in the early stage of the contract. I understand that it is difficult, and the team may have to make some difficult choices, but this will take the initiative in the late stage of the contract. I also mentioned the 'mixed contract': the original '1 year + 1 year' contract would lose Bird rights if it was traded, but the contract defaulted to the 'non-trade clause' in the first year- Then let him keep this clause. "

"What will happen if this happens? We will still be in the current situation, but the team does not need to be restricted by KYC, and Kumingga has the right to speak. I think, from Kumingga's perspective, he must think about this: he has been with the Warriors for four years, but has never had a clear path to development. So he will think, 'I want to make sure that the next place has a clear plan and a clear position, and don't want to be traded randomly to a team that doesn't know how to arrange my plan'. I don't think there is a problem with him thinking like this, which is a very reasonable demand. "

" These are what we are talking about, and why in this negotiation, the player options are so important."
