Schroeder refused to repeat the Lakers fat appointment? US media advised Kumingga not to make the same mistake, and choice off the court is also important

So far, the contract issues between the Warriors and Kumingga have not been resolved. In response, the famous media ClutchPoints reminded Kumingga not to make the mistakes of Schroeder back then, who once rejected the Lakers' fat contract.

It has been a month since the free market started. The restricted free agent and the 2021 No. 2 pick Kumingga's new contract has not yet been confirmed, and his negotiations with the Warriors are still in a stalemate. According to famous reporters Shams and others, Kumingga rejected the two-year, $45 million renewal offer issued by the Warriors because the Warriors insisted on adding the second-year team option to the contract and asked Kumingga to give up the trade veto power given to him by the labor-capital agreement in this contract.

In response, US media ClutchPoints advised Kumingga not to make the same mistakes as Schroeder. ClutchPoints pointed out that Kumingga should not make the mistake Schroeder made that year. Schroeder rejected a large-scale contract renewal provided by the Lakers that year, but was eventually forced to accept a contract that was far lower than the original price. Now, Kumingga is entering a critical juncture in his career, and contract negotiations and long-term value are beginning to become crucial.

Yes, he is younger and more athletic than Schroeder. It can be said that the upper limit is also higher than Schroeder, but this lesson still applies: don't overestimate the chips in your hands. "Betting on oneself" in your career is part of the game...but timing, fit and humility are just as important. Kumingga is extremely talented, and the right choice off the field is also crucial.

How do you think Kumingga and the Warriors will end in the end?
