Recently, the Golden State Warriors' contract renewal negotiations with player Jonathan Cumingga were deadlocked, and the relationship between the two sides was completely broken.

According to multiple sources, Kumingga clearly expressed his willingness to leave the team, hoping to obtain a long-term contract with an annual salary of more than US$30 million to match his positioning for his own value. However, the Warriors management is only willing to offer contracts with an annual salary of about $20 million, a move interpreted as a way to facilitate the inclusion of it in trading chips in the future.

At present, the Chicago Bulls have started negotiations with the Warriors about Kuminga's first sign-up and then exchange. According to people familiar with the matter, the trading framework may involve Bulls player Dosum, but the Bulls have made it clear that they want to keep Kobe White, who is not within the scope of the negotiations. It is worth noting that the Warriors have actually done two operations, just waiting for Kumingga's problems to be settled.

According to famous reporter Shams, the Warriors are expected to sign Horford and Melton at the same time. If they can join, they will inject new vitality into the Warriors' lineup. Horford is experienced and can provide stable scoring and rebounding guarantees in the interior. Despite the injury last season, Melton showed excellent scoring and defensive skills while healthy.

For the Warriors, it is urgent to solve the contract problem of Kumingga, and only in this way can the subsequent signing plan be successfully promoted. Kumingga's willingness to leave the team and the deadlock in the negotiations for renewal undoubtedly brought uncertainty to the Warriors' future plans. However, the Warriors have shown a positive attitude, preparing for the team's future through negotiations and signing programs with the Bulls.

Kuminga's willingness to leave the team and the Warriors' response measures have become a major highlight of the NBA offseason. Fans are full of expectations for Kumingga's future and the Warriors' signing plan. As the transaction negotiations progress and the signing plan advances, the Warriors' future will become more suspenseful and expectant.
