Shams wrote an article today about the negotiation deadlock between Warriors and Kumingga.

Shams reported that the salary for the first season of negotiations with Kumingga is also crucial. Although the Warriors have not made any moves this summer, it is related to the Warriors' goal of signings after resolving the situation in Kumingga.

Sources said that the Warriors plan to use the luxury tax middle class for Horford's contract, and have also conducted in-depth discussions with Melton, Payton Jr. and Curry Jr. This is why Curry Chasing Dreams and Butler have not overreacted to the Warriors' 0 operations this summer so far. Sources said the Big Three understands the Warriors' strategy this summer and agrees to the expected signing results so far.

But this plan also means that the Warriors' salary will be locked below the second rich line, which means that the Warriors will be able to pay Cumingga the most next season with the guarantee of the team's 15-man roster. This number of starting salary plus a contract with team options is too low for Cumingga.
