Today's Sports Weekly basketball reporter Kong Dexin talked about Warriors player Kumingga in his radio program "Basketball Xinshi".

Talking about the deadlock between Kumingga and the Warriors, Kong Dexin said: "We saw a lot of news about ESPN today. Regarding the Warriors, this team that has not operated in the whole summer must finally make the announcement, including signing Horford's multi-year contract, and then signing Melton and Payton II, two former players, including two second-round picks. These revelations do not mean the team's official announcement. Everyone still can't see these people on the Warriors' media day. In the final analysis, it is because Kumingga, his contract has not been signed, so the cooperation of these veterans There is no way to sign, so there is no way to form a formal agreement.

"Some restricted free agents this summer, such as Kumingga and Grimes, have not been officially signed yet. You may have a feeling that these restricted free agents seem to be particularly unfavorable to them. In previous years, you will also see some restricted free agents. Some of these free agents may get larger bidding contracts given by other teams as soon as the market opens. Then your parent team considers whether I want to match. If I don't match, I will let them go. If I match, I will stay. For example, like Ayton, in addition to players with high-level salary, there will be quite a few players in the middle-salary level. Then other teams will quote to grab these people. However, this summer, the so-called restricted free market big fish are stuck in a very unsatisfactory state. Either they can't get their favorite quotes, or you want to leave, but you find that no teams on the market are interested in them. Are these players really not strong at all? If they really don’t work at all, it doesn’t matter whether he signs or not. The reason why these people have attracted everyone’s attention is that they do have certain combat power, and some still have more potential to tap. In this case, if you put it in this year, you will find that their competition for high-priced contracts is very bad.

"Then why does this phenomenon occur? I think first we want to introduce this environment, a state of the entire league. The first point is that the so-called free market is dead, that is, many free agents have renewed their contracts with their teams in advance before they have recovered from their free agents, including those who have the best salary or some rookies have the early contract renewal, including some in between. I am a veteran for many years. I can't get a maximum salary to renew my contract in advance, but I am also willing to sign a new contract with my team in advance.

"As the early renewal of contracts becomes more and more common, you will find that more salary space has been consumed early, and you will not have a so-called bidding environment. If you want a big contract, but without a bidder, your parent team will naturally not give you a big contract so easily. Since no one bids with me, the contract I have placed in front of me is the best contract you can get. Do I need to raise my asking price?

"Everyone says that the free market is dead. It is not that the players can't get money, but that many players get money first by renewing their contracts early, which also makes the team's salary space occupied in advance. For restricted free agents, their environment is not that friendly."
