REPORT: Golden State Warriors REJECT Kings’ Latest Offer For Jonathan Kuminga

as Sam Ach provides us kings their latest offer for Kaminga. Here’s the quote and here’s the write up from the article. Per team sources, the talks between the Suns and Warriors have never progressed in any serious manner. So, while it’s certainly notable that Phoenix is being so aggressive with his contract offer, four years in a combined 90 million per ESPN, that part is irrelevant. so long as Golden State continues to show zero interest in what the Suns have to offer. As for the Kings, which last spoke with the Warriors earlier this week, team sources say they’ve offered a three-year $63 million deal for Kaminga in a proposal that would send veteran guard Malik Monk and their 2030 first pick, a first round pick, lottery protected, to the Warriors. If that pick doesn’t convey, then the Warriors would get the least favorable of the Kings or San Antonio’s first round pick in 2031. Those protections have been the primary sticking point, team sources say, as the Warriors have insisted that the first rounder be unprotected, thus the stalemate. They’re also and that and again there’s the protections that you have to discuss and then you have this part of it after he talks about the the protections and the stalemate. He says warriors would have to move more salary elsewhere to stay under the first apron likely Moses Moody or Buddy Healed. So, not only are they getting this pick or not only are they giving up Jonathan Kaminga, but they’d probably have to give up Moses Moody or Buddy Heield in order to take on Malik Monk and to get that 2030 first round pick, which is a lottery protected. So they’re in the position right now where number one if they they’re they’re basically saying if we’re giving up Jonath Jonathan Kaminga and Moses Moody or Buddy healed we want that pick unprotected and the Kings can say to bleep off if they want because and I see it coming through on the text line. The Kings would not get Moses Moody or Buddy healed. They’d have to go somewhere else. The Warriors are just needing to make that money work and send somebody else out. I I guess technically I technically I think the Kings could, but I it pro they probably wouldn’t get one of those guys. I mean, like you said, they could. Yeah. But the more likely scenario is the Warriors get draft picks back to send one of them to a third team. Exactly. or Sacramento finds a third team for them and sends Buddy and and someone else. I’m not again I don’t know who it would be, but maybe maybe it’s part of a D Rozan thing. Who knows? Yeah. So, that was the latest update on Kaminga from Sam Amik’s point of view. And now to me, how many times would you say an article like this has come out and then that deal ended up happening, right? It almost feels like once they start putting stuff out like this, highly doubt that a m their minds are going to be changed. That’s what it feels like to me. A lot of times this stuff comes out and it’s after the fact. Okay, cool. Now we’re going to give it to Sam A. Now we’re going to give it to Shams to Anthony Slater just to give everybody an update. But I don’t see the Warriors, hey, here’s another update. The Warriors just changed their mind. I think this is where they’re currently at and this is the stalemate. Maybe the Warriors change their mind, but I think it is more in the camp of do the Kings give a different pick, right, if they want in order to just get this thing done. Because if Malik Monk is this expendable to you, you tried to move him, you were trying to move him off for Dennis Schroeder, okay, and he’s been in every conversation that you’ve had. Everybody has, but he it seems like you are you want to move him. Let’s not forget the Westbrook thing from the beginning of the week. This whole thing comes full circle. So, you want to bring Westbrook in. You’d like to move off and Westbrook, I would hope, possibly pray that it’s a one-year contract. You want to bring Russell Westbrook in. you’d be getting off a three-year contract for a position that you’re just not seeming to value the same way and you’d be adding somebody that you’d believe to be a cornerstone moving forward at 22 years old and you’d have him on under contract for the next three years and hopefully for he just stays in Sacramento because it has worked out. So, from the Kings perspective, Malik Monk, it just doesn’t seem like the plan is for him to be in that locker room. And they’re making it pretty clear of that. I mean, this stuff has been happening the whole time with him. So, the Warriors know that. So maybe the Warriors, and this is why when this stuff gets out, maybe the Warriors are looking at the King saying, “Well, well, it’s already been reported a ton that Malik Monk doesn’t have a lot of value. So you’re giving us Malik Monk.” And I was talking to somebody and they said, “Malik Monk’s value versus how he actually plays are two different things.” I don’t doubt it. That’s on the Warriors to want to believe that, right? But we know all the reports about Malik Monk’s value. So, you’re telling me we’re going to get Malik Monk, who we like but don’t love, and we don’t love his three-year contract. You y’all know we don’t want three years, but we’ll take it. We’re getting this 2030 protected pick, which is probably going to move to 2031 and be the worst out of it’ll be whatever the Spurs, right? Because the Spurs are going to be pretty good. So, or it’ll or they’ll make the playoffs and it won’t be worth much. Exactly. Exact. Well, that’s what I’m saying. Either way, it ain’t going to be a great pick for us. And we have to move off of the last the only the only con the only second contract we’ve given out from our draft picks within the last five years or a a a pretty well-liked guy who’s been fairly productive for us in Buddy Heel, one of those guys. I don’t know. I don’t know it. You can look at it from the Warriors p perspective and say it’s not enough or you could say you know what that’s plenty to just be done with the headache because I I I think the reason I’m not moving if I’m the Kings is because again if the Warriors know everything about Malik Monk’s value or his perceived value the Kings know everything about how Jonathan Kaminga is holding up the two other guys you want to bring in. Now, nobody is doing Al Horford ain’t picking up a basketball now. So, I don’t know how much they’re tripping over we want to get it done because clearly Al Horford and DeAnthony Melton don’t plan on going anywhere else. That’s what we talked about earlier in the week. But even still to just finalize things going into training camp where the Warriors have had some issues before in training camp. Royal Rumble is what training camp was a couple years back for them. So they would like to have no drama so the Kings can say we’re kind of staying as it is because we know you’re not just losing Jonathan Kaminga and and Moses Moody or Buddy Healed for Malik Monk in a protected first because you’re also going to have the ability which you don’t right now to add Al Horford and DeAnthony Melton. So it’s not completely apples to apples maybe apples to pairs but you could say we are giving you the abil you’re losing and again it’s has to be said like this because he is holding up those conversations. You’re losing Jonathan Kaminga and let’s just say Moses Moody. Let’s just say that you’re losing Jonathan Kaminga and Moses Moody, right? In return you’re getting a protected firstrounder in 2030. Malik Monk who we can talk about value but you know you need another score and you get to finalize the Anthony Melton and Al Horford right which I don’t I guess if if Kami just drags this thing to October 1st do they just sign do they just sign them anyway there does seem to be a holdup because they don’t know how much money is available yeah and by the way that also includes GP2 are they going to be able GP2 as well they don’t know if they’re going to have enough money to bring him back. Seth Curry’s probably coming on the minimum, but they can’t finalize that deal until they know how much money is there. So, like they have to I think they only have like nine players right now. They have to fill out the rest of their roster before October 1st. So, the Kings can continue to play hard ball. They can try to find another pick and maybe lessen the protections. Definitely nothing around 2026. That is untouchable. Unless it’s the Hornets second. I’m saying no first rounders. Yes, I got you. No first rounders in. That is No, no, no. That’s not possible. But could we could we see the Kings just say we can give you a little bit more and that’s it. That we understand where you’re at. That’s it. Because Kaminga at 21 million a year, right? That’s pretty good. There’s only there’s only one thing that gives me a bit of cause to pause with Kaminga. And as much as I kind of caped up for him yesterday, I would be worried about this. And I’ll tell you what it is when we return. Al Salct on Sports. Hello, I’m Frank with Retirement Security
