Recently, former NBA player Jeff Teague talked about Warriors player Kumingga when he was a guest on the podcast program "Club520podcas".

Speaking of Kumingga's insistence on retaining the player option in the renewal negotiations with the Warriors, Teague said he could understand Kumingga's position, emphasizing that Kumingga is just trying to control his future, especially in terms of economic gains and professional autonomy.

Tiger said: "He doesn't want team options at all. To be honest, which young player would want team options? He is only 22 years old! It's too passive to carry team options in the contract. What players want is player options and to be able to control their own destiny. If you play well in the first year and perform well in the second year, of course, you want to have the right to jump out of the contract and fight for a larger contract. But if you play a highlight season and have team options, the team will only use the original low-priced execution options. Maybe they will talk about renewing the contract later, but the initiative is not in your hands."

"He did this to lock in two years of guaranteed income first and leave room for the future, because he is sure that he will perform well. But on the other hand, he also needs to consider, 'If my condition declines in the third year, the team cannot sack me at will, at least I can still choose to stay in the team.'"Tiger said.
