Shams Drops BOMBSHELL Kuminga Report…

Shams Drops BOMBSHELL Kuminga Report…

Folks, this is wild. We have another Jonathan Kaminga report. A shams bombshell. Two reports. One, the new offer the Warriors gave Kaminga. He turned down because of the money and what’s inside the deal. We have all the details for you. And secondly, the offers from the Suns and the Kings, the length, the money, the guaranteed money, all that in between. We’re going to break it down on this episodes of Warriors Digest. myself, Randy Silver. How you all doing? Arthur does a great job on this channel. We together tag team boom boom bringing you Warriors news daily. Free agency summer league’s now over NBA games when they come back. Trades coming. And we have the news for you. So, let’s break it down. Before we do, folks, some of you are more in tune than the average person. Great. We do videos here for all ranges on this channel. So, some of this information you may know, some of it may be new, but Kaminga is the biggest story honestly right now in the NBA, right? It’s for sure in the Warriors land. So, that’s why we keep talking about it. Warriors made another push to sign Jonathan Kaminga. Two years, $45 million. That’s 17.5 million per year. Yesterday’s video was two years 40 million. Uh, 20 million per year. Sorry, I say 17.5 million. I meant 22.5 million. Excuse me. 22.5 million per year. So, they increased their offer 2.2 million. Basically, 2.5 million. He said no. He wants out of Golden State. It’s extremely extremely obvious. His decision is due in large part to the Warriors insistence on having a team option for the second season and their unwillingness to let him maintain the built-in no trade clause, sources said. So, let’s talk about this. Kaminga is on his fifth year of his contract going in his fifth year. If he signs the qualifying offer, no matter what happens, if he stays with the Warriors for one year or he’s traded mid-season, he will be a free agent at the end of the season. No if, ands, or buts. Basically, a no trade clause in that sense because he can pick his future. If he signs a two-year deal and the Warriors have a team option for the second season, that means he is stuck potentially with the Warriors. I use the word stuck because it seems like he doesn’t want to be there for potentially two more years. If it was a one and one and he had control and he’d be here for a year and leave and Warriors probably know he’s leaving. So why are we going to keep him here? That’s why they have this team control for second year meaning that they get value on their asset. they can try to trade him again or at least they know they have two more seasons lined up with Butler Green and Curry who own 80% of the salary cap we have. Kaminga’s agent, Aaron Turner, presented a few frameworks during a pair of meetings in Summer League in Las Vegas, including a three-year deal around $82 million that allowed the Warriors to stay below the second apron to use their taxpayer mid-level exception. So, what is 82 / three? 82 divided by three is 27.5 million per year. We talked about last year the Warriors maybe offered him 30 million. They said that was fake news. They would have taken it. We heard that he wants 30 to 40 million. Excuse me. I’m about to see. Bless me. Thank you if you said it out there. So, we do know that there’s interest in trying to get around 30 million mark. This puts you at 27.3 million. And I broke this down on a video the other week. How does that taxpayer mid-level exception work? So, you can see right here. Oh, wrong one. Here we go. Based off of where you fall in the first apron, second apron, this is what you can offer players. Mid-level tax, non-t taxpayer, midle taxpayer. So here, this means if they offered Kaminga that they could still provide 2526, 5.6 million to a mid-level taxpayer exception. Maybe that’s for D. Anthony Melton, Seth Curry, Al Horford. I think Al Horford’s probably going to be the vet minimum mid-level room right here. And then by annual if you want to sign a vet again, vet minimum number of years. Al Horford’s close to 20 years. He would get about $3.6 million. The Warriors themselves, let me pull this up one second. Steph Curry, Butler, and Green account for more than 80% of the 2526 payroll. The Warriors, again, if they signed Kaminga, depending on the money, they could offer the taxpayer mid-level exception, which we just saw was around 6 million, and then vet minimums and youngsters on rookie deals. So, that would be the rookie out of Florida. That’d be the rookie they got from last Australia, Tuhei. Um, and Looney is gone. Warriors themselves, folks, again, have done nothing in free agency. The only team, this is what your roster looks like right now. So, a lot of rookies and potential vets out there going to come in and fill out the rest of this team. Continuing on, Kaminga and Turner again, Turner, his agent, use July to explore sign and trade options. The most significant negotiation, Kings and Suns. As we talked about, Suns don’t have a first round pick, which the Warriors want. Kings do. They have probably a little bit more assets that they have tradable proposals for those teams. Four years approaching 90 million. So four divided by 90 puts you around like 22 23 million per year. So that puts you where the Warriors offered two years, 45 million, 22 million a year. So that basically says, “Hey, we’ll give you that type of money on a shorter deal if you stay with us, including a player option for the final season.” So that means if he tries to get the signing trade with the Kings and the Suns, three years signed to the team and then one year, fourth year is up to Kaminga and that puts him at like 25 26 season uh his age season, excuse me. Phoenix made the biggest push but again it’s been talked about they don’t have the assets. The Warriors aren’t interested in trade returns for the Kings and the Suns for Kaminga. Why? Because they want to get the value back and they have the control because Kaminga is a restricted free agency. So, per shams, the Warriors are basically stopping Simon Trades and saying, “Minga, you’re going to do it this way. One-year deal, $7.9 million qualifying offer.” Or you take our two years, 20 million per year. two years, 22 and a half million per year, and then you move forward. Which would you do if you’re a Kaminga? Call me your thoughts. Kaminga wants a fresh start. Pretty obvious. He wants a long-term deal, a guaranteed larger role, a promised starting position, a greater level of respect and career control. That’s interesting as well. So, one fresh start. That’s obvious. Join a new team. A larger guaranteed role. We know last year he started came off the bench got hurt did not play coach’s decisions and then when Curry got hurt in the playoffs showed out against the Wolves but they we were overmatched this season Kur said he talked about you love to have Kaminga Butler and Green play more together last year after the trade deadline after Kaminga came back from being hurt did not have enough time to make that happen they did not play well together he would do that more early in the season to get them comfortable he probably doesn’t trust it once wants to go somewhere else wants guaranteed minutes guaranteed starting 30 minutes per game around that Phoenix’s excuse me proposal is also nearly 70 million more guaranteed than the Warriors offer so again Phoenix 90 million four years warriors 45 million two years that’s not 70 million more that’s 45 million more but potentially something like that as well if you look at the qualifying offer maybe you’re speaking about that Kaminga told ESPN he’s in no rush to move forward and that’s why stalemate contract negotiations. This is what it is to be in this type of business. Kaminga believes accepting the Warriors 2-year offer with a team option along with forfeiting trade veto rights seeds too much control to the franchise he believes has stunted his growth and long career aspirations for four seasons. Interesting. Again, Kaminga doesn’t want to be there. Even if he comes back, that toxic nature with the coaches, potentially that toxic nature with the front office, like toxic is a strong word, but I’m just saying it may be awkward, but again, this is professional sports. This happens all the time. You come and play, but it’s clear he doesn’t want to be there. And you can see why King’s sons have pitched him on defined rules. The Warriors have not given him. Again, we talked about what Kerr thinks of them playing together. Warriors said they or Warrior sources believe they have the best offer on the table. 21.7 million next season compared to 19.8 million elsewhere. Again, scale rising up in the two-year team option concept uh two-year team option concept. The deal is purposely structured to be tradable coming January 15th. And if Kaminga’s ultimate desire is to play elsewhere, it would allow him next his next team decline the team option and extend him. So there you go. They could do it that way. Based on collective bargaining agreement, the Warriors proposed oneplus one contract would have an inherent no trade clause as Kaminga’s next team want to maintain his birth rights, which is interesting. that would give Kaminga a level of control over his next home. Kind of like what DLO did for the Lakers in 2023. So folks, do you think this is good for the Warriors, bad for the Warriors? It’s interesting to see Kaminga himself ongoing tugof-war contract negotiations restricted free agency. Um if he takes a qualifying offer, he’d be losing 42 million with potential growth to be moving forward in future seasons.
