Take the initiative to speak out, the trading plan is released, Kumingga s farce ends, and the Nets may become the biggest winner

Basketball

The NBA in the offseason is undoubtedly a place where topics gather. Previously, the issue of whether Antetokounmpo would continue to stay in Milwaukee has sparked widespread heated discussion and discussion; then, the four first-round picks in 2021 took turns to the major lists, becoming the focus of everyone's attention. After a long and arduous communication, Grimes, Josh Gidey, Thomas Jr. and Kumingga both have the ardent expectation of obtaining a super big contract, and the desire to establish their own solid position in the team. They showed themselves with a tough attitude, thinking that such tough performance would allow the team management to compromise. However, things went against their expectations. They never expected that the home team did not care about the players' "stupid" behavior in the eyes of the management.

At present, the lineups of many teams in the league have become basically complete, so it is naturally difficult to provide higher-paying quotes. Despite their insight into the difficult situation they are in, these players still stick to their stance and never have the slightest compromise. Looking at the Brooklyn Nets, general manager Max took the initiative to offer Thomas a two-year, 28.2 million contract extension, but was rejected by the other party. At the same time, Grimes also received a one-year salary offer from the 76ers, with a total value of 14 million, but the two players are essentially different. Based on the "absurd" operation of Philadelphia General Manager Morey during the offseason last year, the team's salary space was limited, and 14 million was the largest contract that could be provided. If nothing unexpected happens, Grimes will choose to accept it.

In contrast, Giddy and Kumingga, the decisions of these two lottery shows are somewhat surprising. According to Jake Fischer's report: The Chicago Bulls proposed a four-year contract proposal to young player Josh Gidey with a total value of $80 million, but this operation did not impress Gidey. He and his agent team continued to put pressure on him and insisted on asking for an annual salary of 30 million; there is also such a persistent player. Although the Golden State Warriors clearly stated that they refused to sign first and then exchange, he was still unwilling to accept a new contract of 45 million for two years, but rather give up a salary of 36 million and accept a salary offer of 7.6 million.

As of now, the Warriors still lack 6 standard contracts in the new season roster. Although Horford, Melton, Payton Jr., Ses Curry and other players are willing to join, all signing ceremonies will not be concluded until the farce of Kumingga ends. In order not to affect the team's training camp plan in October, general manager Dunleavy may choose to stop losses in a timely manner. Subsequently, the well-known American media BF announced a proposal for a tripartite transaction.

Warriors sent Kumingga away, and the Nets traded Thomas Jr., but before reaching this deal, they need to complete the contract renewal with the home team, and then ensure the completion of the transaction by signing first and then changing. The final plan is as follows: The Warriors get Thomas Jr. with 65 million in four years; the Bulls get Nets center Clarkston, plus a second round pick in 2026; the Nets get Kuminga, Vucevic, who are about to sign 84 million in four years, and the first round pick from the Bulls and the top 5 protections in 2028. Once the deal is completed, the Bulls can use the salary space freed up by Vucevic to renew Gidedi, but they are not the ultimate winners.

Looking back at the past draft, the Nets showed admirable courage and signed five first-round picks in one go, which is really worthy of praise. However, given the slightly dim starlight of the stars in the team, the Nets will still focus on cultivating young players next season. At that time, receiving garbage contracts from other teams and obtaining draft picks will become the top priority of general manager Max.

At this moment, Kumingga has shown great potential to fully develop into an All-Star star. At the same time, Vucevic's upcoming contract expiration next season provides more flexibility and space for Nets management in subsequent trading operations. The Nets can not only gain supernovas with extremely high potential, but also further release the team's salary space, which undoubtedly laid a sophisticated for introducing superstars next summer. Such a layout is far-sighted and has laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of the team.
