The broken mirror is hard to reunite! The 22-year-old star of hope is now breaking up with the team, leaving the team may be the only way out
Although he completed the Black Seven Miracle last season and defeated the Rockets to reach the Western Conference semi-finals, the Warriors have now come to a very difficult situation. Since the team's former hope star Jonathan Cumingga was unable to renew or trade with Jonathan Cumingga, the team's former hope star, even though the team has reached an oral agreement with Al Horford, Seth Curry and others, they cannot sign a contract directly with them. Looking at the relationship between Kumingga and the team now makes many fans feel a little regretful. After all, after entering the NBA, he not only became one of the youngest champions in NBA history, but was once regarded as the future of the team. So why did the relationship between Kumingga and the Warriors become more and more tense? Finally, we have reached such an irreversible land now. Let’s review it together!
1. The contract negotiations were deadlocked and Kumingga felt insulted.
First of all, let's talk about the biggest contradiction, that is, the renewal of Kumingga. As one of the top 21st rookies, seeing Cad Cunningham, Jaylen Green, Franz Wagner and others obtain contracts of RMB 100 million, Kumingga naturally hopes to get the same treatment. But the problem is that he is not the core player of the team at present. The Warriors are only willing to give him a two-year, $45 million short-term contract, and there are two terms attached to this basis. One is that it has a team option, and the other is that it must give up the trade veto. There is no doubt that this contract was undoubtedly insulted to Kumingga. What he wanted was a five-year, $150 million long contract, which was undoubtedly a contract that the team could not give. Secondly, this contract is indeed too "bullying". Once this contract is signed, Kumingjia will likely become a bargaining chip and may even be given up by the team at any time. Of course, he is unwilling to accept it.
At the same time, there are not no teams who have quoted Kuminga. Since the offseason, the Kings have been very active in quoting Kuminga. This transaction has been possible for a time, and even the contract has been drafted, which is a three-year, $63 million short contract, so that they can sign first and then exchange. But the Warriors naturally wanted to squeeze Kumingga's final value, and they were determined to be unprotected first-round draft picks as the price, which also touched the Kings' bottom line, resulting in Kumingga's current ability to leave and not be able to stay. What's even more insulting is that the Warriors are expected to give Kumingga a one-year, $7.9 million qualification quotation contract, which is definitely unacceptable for Kumingga, who was selected the 7th pick that year. So Kumingga and his team are also unwilling to surrender and are not allowed to leave, so you don’t want to sign easily.
2. The tactical system is divided and cannot be integrated.
Let's talk about the deep-seated issues. The reason why Kumingga doesn't want to stay is very simple, that is, the team's current strategy is to seize Stephen Curry's last player career, build a system around him, and launch a final impact on the championship. Last season, Jimmy Butler was traded, and he was given a contract renewal, which is the most obvious signal. In fact, the Warriors' choice is not very problematic. Although Butler was not favored by the media and experts when he joined the team, he had a good chemical reaction with Curry, Draymond Green and others. His contributions per game by the Warriors also proved that his sword is immortal. Of course, the most important thing is that the cooperation between him and Curry is indeed very good, which liberated Curry to a large extent. At the same time, the team also has a top ball holder, which is the key to the team being able to get out of the quagmire and reach the Western Conference semi-finals.
But because of Butler's arrival, Kumingga was also neglected. After all, in the same position, he is indeed inferior to Butler. Moreover, the Warriors have had a not-to-written flaw over the years, that is, they do not pay attention to the training of rookies. In recent years, there is only one Brandin Pojmsky, except for Jordan Poole, which is considered satisfactory. Kumingga and Moses Moody, who was of the same class, spent most of his time outside the system until last season, which naturally made him unwilling to waste time with the Warriors. But the Warriors also have their own difficulties. Over the years, although he can contribute 12.5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.8 assists, the team's most popular three-point shooting percentage is only 33.2%, and it has never been able to integrate into the team's tactical system. This is also the reason why Steve Cole is unwilling to give him too many opportunities. So for individual players and the team as a whole, they are not suitable for the first time, and it will be a problem sooner or later when they leave.
3. It is constantly hidden and overwhelms the last straw that is the camel.
Finally, let's talk about one of the actions that the team completely disappointed Cumingga, that is, after Butler joined, his playing time was greatly reduced. Not only that, in the crucial playoffs, he was even more tragic. In the first round of the game against the Rockets, he only got two opportunities to play, contributing 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 7 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists respectively. After that, it was not until Curry was accidentally injured and the team had no hope of advancing that he got another chance to play. In the series with the Timberwolves, he can output 20.8 points and 3 rebounds. His overall performance is actually pretty good, but even in this case, the Warriors are still unwilling to renew his contract with him, so after that, Kumingga completely stopped the idea of staying with the Warriors, and is still in a struggle quagmire.
