The Warriors first signing in the offseason finally appears, and Kumingga intends to end the contract negotiations between the two sides

The real signings for the Warriors during the offseason finally appeared. According to multiple sources from the US media, Horford has reached a two-year, $11.7 million contract agreement with the Warriors, of which the second year is the player option. Subsequently, statistics from the NBA salary website Spotrac show that Horford's total career salary has reached $296.8 million. The Warriors finally made their first deal two months after the free market opened this summer. The team's salary was limited due to the results of Kumingga's negotiations, and the Warriors remained unmoved, which also made many Warriors fans start to worry.

Before signing Horford, the Warriors had only 10 players with formal contracts, which was still quite apart from the 14 players specified by the league. The Warriors had been waiting for Kumingga to renew their contracts to be resolved. The main consideration was to avoid triggering the hard hat restrictions and leave room for signing first and then changing, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to match the offer given to Kumingga by other teams after signing Horford and Melton first.

Kuminga has always felt that he had not received enough attention from the Warriors before he insisted on leaving the Warriors. If the team does not raise the offer, he is ready to sign a qualification quotation contract next summer and seek to become a full free agent in the future.

The Warriors gave a two-year contract of 45 million and insisted on setting team options in the second year. Kumingga and his team clearly expressed their desire to have player options in the second year. One of the key points is that the first-year contract provided by the Warriors for Kumingga is worth $21.75 million. However, due to the basic salary compensation regulations, the salary cost when they leave the team is only half of that number, which is also the reason why Kumingga's team refused.

According to sources, if the negotiations between the two sides do not change in the next week, then Kumingga will end the negotiations and accept the qualification offer.
