You know this. I know you know this. The whole saga is getting tedious. &#8220;Just get a deal done,&#8221; you yell, fists clenched, on the banks of the San Francisco Bay, hoping the Basketball Gods are listening.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">It might \u2014\u00a0<em>might \u2014 <\/em>make you feel better to know the holdup in contract talks for Kuminga, a restricted free agent, aren&#8217;t stalled for the sole purpose of irritating fans. According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line \/ Bleacher Report, the Warriors are holding steady on their current offer for Kuminga, because the other option might be parting with Moses Moody:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\"><em>&#8220;They don&#8217;t see any reason why they should change their offer. They haven&#8217;t gotten anything from Phoenix or from Sacramento that the Warriors deem would make them better, or that would just be worth Jonathan Kuminga or better than Jonathan Kuminga. There&#8217;s only really also been sign-and-trade scenarios from those teams that would potentially lead Golden State in a salary matching standpoint to part ways with Buddy Hield or Moses Moody, two players that the Warriors just absolutely do not want to part with&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">Well, yeah that makes sense. They shouldn&#8217;t want to part with Moses Moody because he&#8217;s a pretty obvious part of the Warriors future, whatever that may look like. If the team has to choose between Moody and Kuminga (which they really don&#8217;t have to do) the front office is letting you know which way they&#8217;d lean.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">The Buddy Hield aspect of this is interesting, but the same logic applies. It&#8217;s not as though the Dubs are &#8220;choosing&#8221; Hield over Kuminga&#8230; they just believe they&#8217;ll come to a resolution that allows them to keep both on the roster.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\">Staying patient is annoying, but the right move for the Warriors<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">It may not feel that way, but there <em>will<\/em> be a resolution to this eventually. The Nets set the precedent of signing their restricted free agent to a qualifying offer, while the Bulls brought back Josh Giddey on a four-year deal. If I were forced to predict what Kuminga&#8217;s deal looks like, it&#8217;s somewhere in between those two. Luckily, I&#8217;m not being forced to predict that. But I guess I did anyway.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">The Warriors envision a world where they can bring back Kuminga and not have to shuffle the current roster around to do it. In order for that world to be this world, they can&#8217;t offer much more than they&#8217;re currently offering for Kuminga. Thus, the stalemate continues.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And it&#8217;s tough to fault the Dubs here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":99100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
