The head hurts! Kuminga wants 30 million, Rivers wants 40 million, Lakers and Warriors have no way to say

NBA free market is about to open. In another 2-3 days, each team can find players suitable for them in the free market, but before signing, they need to solve their own affairs. However, for the Warriors and the Lakers, things are not that simple. Now is the time to pick their heads! It can be said that the two teams have troubles!
Warriors' Kumingga, Lakers' Rivers, these two players have put the team in a difficult situation. Should they renew the contract or not? Should I leave it for myself or trade it out? It caused great trouble to the two teams. The fundamental reason is that these two people have obvious advantages and disadvantages, so it is not cost-effective to give more, and it is not worthy of their value. Both sides are also in a deadlock!
Kuminga is only 22 years old this year, 201 tall, and has a standard small forward figure. In the playoffs, in the Timberwolves, they scored 30 points, 23 points and 26 points respectively, and they really have scoring ability! The Warriors provided him with a qualification price of $7.9 million, and the Kuming family's expectation is at least $30 million. Of course, the Warriors will not agree. The main reasons are the following points!
1. Judging from the offensive performance alone, it is worth 30 million. At present, the Warriors' strongest single-handed challenge ability may be Kumingga. His excellent physical fitness and comprehensive offensive skills allow him to ignore the opponent's defense on the offensive end and help the team score when the team's offense cannot be opened! From this perspective, 30 million is not much.
2. But Kumingga has a small system with the team. His characteristic is that he can attack with the ball, so many times, he will not consider the team's system issues, which also leads to the team's overall performance when he plays. From this perspective, spending $30 million is not worth it.
3. Overall, it is more appropriate for Kumingga to be the second or third leader of a team. The most suitable one is the best sixth player in the team, which is about 10 million US dollars, but he will definitely not keep this price!
So, this also leads to always being very entangled and wanting to stay. The more I feel that it is not very suitable for the team. Just like this season, I know that he has strong abilities, but I just don’t allow him to play. If I don’t have it, it’s better to trade quickly. It will be bad for both sides!
The Lakers' Rivers is the same. He also made the Lakers feel very sad. Before, he gave a quotation of more than 90 million yuan for four years, Rivers refused without hesitation. He wanted to wait a little longer. As long as he waited another year, the money he could get would double. By next year, he could sign a 5-year, more than 200 million yuan contract with an annual salary of more than 40 million US dollars!
But Rivers's problem is similar to that of Kumingga. I feel that I give less, I am sorry for him. I feel that he is not worth it if I give more. Rivers' problem is very obvious!
1. If calculated only by the regular season, his performance is excellent, especially in the second half of this season, he averaged more than 20 points per game, and he did a very good job in organization. He gave him $40 million, which is absolutely worth it!
2. Look at the performance on the defensive end, to put it bluntly, he basically has no defensive ability. He is often named by the opponent in the game, and his defensive ability is lower than the league average. That is to say, he can score more than 30 points in a game, but his opponent may also score more than 30 points, or even more than 40 points. So from this perspective, giving him more than 10 million may be almost the same. If he is over 20 million, he will be over 20 million.
3. In addition, Rivers' performance in the regular season and playoffs has a large deviation. It can even be said that in the playoffs, he is a role player, but he has another disadvantage. In many games, he cannot make a shot, but he has to make a shot. It is easy to be beaten in this gap. From this perspective, it cannot exceed 20 million, so it can be used in the regular season. Don't expect it in the playoffs. Look at his performance in the playoffs in recent years. It can be said that his potential is exhausted! So, if you give such Rivers $40 million, how can you develop after you survive?
Overall, the Lakers and the Warriors have really encountered big problems. In fact, the best way for both sides is to trade these two players, otherwise they will become free agents next year. Both sides will be separated and they will definitely leave if they don’t give a big contract. At that time, nothing will be exchanged, and it will be chaotic at that time! Whether it is James or Curry, just wait for retirement and stop thinking about the championship.
Heart hurts! Kuminga wants 30 million, Rivers wants 40 million, and the Lakers and Warriors can't tell if they have any hardships
