The Warriors clearly specify the quotation requirements for Kumingga to any team interested in signing first and then switching.

According to Chaitanya Dadwar, contributor of US sports media F/W. Jonathan Cumingga’s trade rumors may be coming to an end, with Warriors insider Anthony Slater listing their exact requirements to anyone interested in signing up for the 22-year-old star.

Warriors forward Jonathan Cumingga's protracted trade rumors may be coming to an end as ESPN insider Anthony Slater confirmed their demands for any team interested in signing and trading the restricted free agent. In Brian Windhorst’s Hoops Collective podcast, Slater revealed that the Warriors’ requirements for any team can be reduced to a list of three requirements: a young player, a first-round pick and no bad contracts.

"Part of the reason why Kuminga didn't sign and trade. You know, especially the Kings and the Suns, I would say, that's the most radical because the Warriors have been very determined to demand at least one first-round pick. They also want a young player and they don't want to sign a bad contract," Slater said of the Warriors' asset management issues. "That's the real reason, you know, keep a lot of these things because not only is the team going to want to sign Kuminga and convince him to accept the money, he has a high ambition for the next contract, but they have to call the Warriors and have a pretty good value deal, you give up a draft pick and a young player, that stuff. That's why so many things are deadlocked."

Just last night, NBA insider Shams Charania confirmed that Kuminga is not in a hurry to accept any offer from the Warriors and seems to think he deserves a contract with an annual salary of $25 million. The Warriors also rejected any offer from teams such as the Kings and Suns that are interested in Cumingga.

Kuming averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game for the Warriors. Halfway through the NBA playoffs, there were reports that Cuminga had a tense relationship with Warriors head coach Cole, which may be part of the reason why Cuminga might play his last game in a Warriors jersey if he got what he wanted in the free market. The Kings and Suns are reportedly just the frontrunners on the roster of teams that multiple teams are interested in Cumingga. However, to conduct any contract and transaction, Kumingga first needs to accept the offer. Otherwise, if he wants to continue playing in the NBA this year, he might be put in a position where he has no choice but to accept a $7.9 million qualified offer from the Warriors.

Kuminga seems increasingly unlikely to find a team that not only meets his requirements, but also meets the Warriors' requirements to trade Kuuminga. In my opinion, this information from a reliable insider like Slater can only show that even the Warriors now seem eager to find a new home for Cuminga while insisting on getting the right value for him. At some point, either party needs to compromise here. But for now, the Warriors have all the chips.
