Magic! Such a player has been DNP and has one-sided public opinion just to reduce the price?

The Warriors and the Timberwolves' G2 started. After Curry was missing, Cole reactivated Kumingga and still appeared as a substitute. Kumingga was really amazing today, and he didn't lose any shots. Currently, he has played for 16 minutes, made 8 of 8 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, scored 17 points and 2 rebounds, and his performance can be said to be one of the best players of the Warriors. But I can't figure it out. Such a player has been pressed on the bench by Cole this year's playoffs, but he just doesn't have time to play.

Kuminga really has no chance in the playoffs this year. If Butler and Curry were not injured, he would have been DNP until the end of the season. In the first round of the Rockets, Kumingga played 3 games and the team won all of them. The tiebreaker was only a symbolic 7 minutes, but the team also won. It was really amazing that the Warriors still won during Butler's injury!

Kumingga must have talent, and it can also be said to be the best physical talent player in the Warriors. He is 2.01 meters tall, weighs 102 kilograms, and is only 22 years old. It can be said that it was the time to increase the ball, but he did not expect to be abandoned by the Warriors.

After all, it was because of the contract issue. Last year, the Warriors offered him a five-year, 150 million contract renewal contract, but was directly rejected by Cumingga's team. They hoped to pursue a super maximum salary of 269 million (entering the best lineup) like Cunningham, Barnes, Mobley, and Wagner Jr. But it is obvious that the Warriors can't give it now, because it is still Curry's team. In addition, Butler gave a two-year contract of 110 million yuan, so Kumingga has no chance of a maximum salary.

The Warriors have a large number of fans because Kumingga's outside public opinion is also one-sided. Especially after being DNP this season, more people are gloating, thinking that Kumingga himself has lost his own game, let alone the maximum salary, it is estimated that the Warriors will not give 150 million in five years.

Of course, it also has some relationship with Kumingga's own performance on the court. He is not very compatible with the Warriors on the court, especially after Butler opened it, the two did not call at all, and there was no intersection on the court. Butler is mainly based on the overall situation, and most often takes over the game at critical moments, and most of them are mainly connected teams. He needs a big guy who can pull out and shoot, rather than a forward who only has the basket in his eyes. So Kumingga also struggled to play and couldn't cooperate at all. He could only attack at the basket, so at least he wouldn't play so ugly. Of course, Kumingga still has certain abilities, otherwise the Warriors management would not give him 150 million in five years, and George would not name Kumingga instead of Wiggins in the Clippers' trade last year. Therefore, partly because Kuminga was not called by Butler by DNP, and partly because the Warriors wanted to lower the price, which was also an old trick of the management.

Of course, if Kumingga accepts 150 million in five years, there will be nothing left. After all, the Warriors chose it themselves and trained it themselves. They also saw potential and hoped to keep him, but if they had to pay a maximum salary, the team would definitely not want to.

This season, Kumingga played 47 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, scoring 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists, shooting percentage of 45.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 30.5%.

At the end of this season, Kumingga will be completely free. Su Qun said that Kumingga has two ways: one is to test the waters of free agents, and then talk to the Warriors about whether it matches. The other is to choose to sign a one-year contract with the Warriors. After the data is played, he will pursue a big contract next year. After all, he is only 22 years old and still has time to grow up. Moreover, due to injuries this season, the data is really not enough.

What do you think? Why is Kumingga's public opinion one-sided? How big is he worth a contract?
