The character of "good guy" has made Curry lose several championships

reporter Sam Amick revealed in a blog episode that the Warriors disagreed with trading Kumingga to the Kings partly because they were worried that he would grow up to be a star there later. Of course, this is not the main reason, the core obstacle is in other aspects. The quotation of the Kings is very attractive to Kumingga. It not only gives a long contract, but also promises to be the starting power forward and get enough playing time. But this is just for Kumingga. The Warriors management is not interested in the bargaining chips they get, and Monk and the draft pick still cannot impress the boss Lacob.

First, there are many defenders in the Warriors, which are lacking in the backcourt defense and the frontcourt shooting; second, Monk's contract is too long and it will not end in the 27-28 season, which seriously affects the Warriors' plans in the summer of 2027. After all, at that time, it is estimated that they will pursue big names like Antetokounmpo and Jokic.

In fact, the Kings still have some bargaining chips that can impress the Warriors, that is defender Ellis and forward Murray, who can meet the Warriors' reinforcement goals; Brett Siegel bluntly stated that if the bargaining chips provided by the Kings are Murray, the Warriors will be shaken.

It's a pity that the management is unwilling to give it up, there is nothing we can do about it.

If the Warriors are really worried that Kuminga will become a star when she goes to the Kings, it means she has selfishness; once it becomes a reality, it will also slap the Warriors' management in the face, and the ability to cultivate newcomers will be questioned. It will be difficult to talk about in the draft market in the future, and the Warriors' brand value will be greatly affected.

As the deadline for Kumingga to accept qualification quotations gets closer, he canceled his social media account, his agent posted training photos, and wrote for the final preparation. Regarding the contract that Kumingga did not get expected, the agent bluntly stated that if the Warriors consider giving players options at the moment, and if they consider the future, they will increase their money; he believes that if that latest offer can change the team options to player options, Kumingga will accept a three-year, $75.2 million contract.

This means that Kumingga's side continues to stand firm and does not easily change its initial requirements.

In response to this, former NBA All-Star player Kevin Johnson said that he could empathize with Kumingga's situation, and played a substitute for Price in the Cavaliers back then; but he still had to be prepared and maintain a positive attitude.

This suggestion is still very good. It tells Kumingga in disguise that no matter what, he must make his mentality and competitive state excellent so that his situation will gradually improve.

Of course, two Bay Area reporters Johnson and Poole commented on this, believing that Curry's voice is very important; Poole said that Curry has always believed in the management's approach, but at some moments, he still has to stand up and speak, such as "Guys, please, I understand that this is all to maximize my peak period, but this summer's operations are meaningless to the team!"

Do you understand? The meaning of this reporter is very obvious. Curry has always regarded himself as a "good guy" and rarely makes his own demands to the management. This approach has a good side, which is conducive to creating a harmonious atmosphere, but it will also affect his total championship number. After missing the championship in 2019, the Warriors' operations were not too radical, wasting Curry's peak seasons. In other words, if Curry had some voices hoping that the team would strengthen, he might have more championships.

So, from the perspective of the champion alone, the character of "good guy" has indeed delayed Curry's victory in the championship. Now there are only two seasons left to win the championship window. I don’t know if Curry will change his past attitude and make up his mind to ask the management to be aggressive in strengthening.

Do you think it can? Do you like this "Buddhist casual" Curry, or does it like the "who does this want" Curry?
