Dunleavy: Kumingga will remain in good shape& Focus on the team. If you do your best, you will have good roles.

Today Warriors GM Dunleavy accepted an interview with the media.

Reporter: Can we talk about the structure of Kumingga's contract? It looks like it may at least be used as a trading chip. I wonder how you think about him joining the team after a relatively tight negotiation and how that would affect the season.

Mike Dunleavy: As far as the negotiation itself is concerned, I think it is fair and reasonable, and there is no problem with me. I think sometimes these things take time.

But from my point of view, I'm totally fine with the result, I'm happy with the agreement we reached, and I think this contract is good for JK. I think this is a win-win situation for both sides.

As for the significance of the team and the contract structure, it is ultimately my feeling about the team: we are in good shape now. I can say that it is much better than this time last year, and even when we were eliminated by Minnesota 4-1 in the playoffs. The significance of the contract structure is that we feel that we have a player with great potential, and I don’t feel that it is necessary to do anything.

Of course, the development of the season remains to be seen. I might say this time last year that we need to be better. But now I don't feel that way. Of course the situation may change. There are many players on our team who have traded value in the league and may be traded, but I think the contract structure is more based on considerations that are appropriate for us and the players, and in the end we reached an agreement that both parties can accept.

Reporter: Do you expect him to devote himself to the team?

Mike Dunleavy: Of course. He has signed the contract and we have reached an agreement. As far as I know, he had a pretty good offseason. It looks like he's been working hard in the training hall and I think he'll stay in good shape, be prepared and focus on the team. I have no reason to think it would be something else.

Reporter: There are a lot of discussions about his role, and his agent has also talked a lot. Did you explicitly promise him a role during negotiations, such as "We promise you will definitely play this role, not that role"? How far has the discussion about his playing time been going on?

Mike Dunleavy: We just hope he can be the best self. If he does that, he will have a good role and our team will become very strong. I don't think it's necessary to interpret it in a deeper direction.
