Shams: Both Suns and Kings offer include player options and promises starting power forward position

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

According to sources, the Kumingga team clearly conveyed the message when communicating with the Warriors management: What we want is tactical status, not purely contract amounts. The quotes provided by the Suns (80-88 million in 4 years) and the Kings (63-66 million in 3 years) both include player options and promise to start the power forward position. And this is exactly what the Warriors cannot give. In the Warriors, Kumingga cannot guarantee a stable playing time of 30 minutes per game, nor can he get the extremely eager starting and ending role.
