Sign up for 45 million in 2 years? US media: Kumingga made Schroeder s mistake, who once refused the Lakers fat deal

It has been one month since the free market started, and the restricted free agent and the 2021 No. 2 pick Kumingga's new contract has not yet been confirmed, and his negotiations with the Warriors are still in a stalemate.

According to ESPN famous reporter Sharania and Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, Kumingga rejected the two-year, $45 million contract renewal offer issued by the Warriors because the Warriors insisted on adding the second-year team option to the contract and asked Kumingga to give up the trade veto power given to him by the labor-capital agreement in this contract.

Today, US media ClutchPoints posted a composite picture of Kumingga and Schroeder, and advised Kumingga not to make the same mistakes as Schroeder.

The original text is as follows:

Kumingga should not make the mistake Dennis Schroeder made that year.

Schroder famously refused a large-scale contract renewal provided by the Lakers... and was finally forced to accept a contract that was far lower than the original price 😬.

Now, Kumingga is entering a critical juncture in his career, and contract negotiations and long-term value are beginning to become crucial.

Yes, he is younger and more athletic than Schroeder. It can be said that the upper limit is also higher than Schroeder, but this lesson still applies: don't overestimate the chips in your hands.

"betting on oneself" in your career is part of the game...but timing, fit and humility are equally important.

Kuminga is extremely talented, and the correct choice off the field is also critical.

In August 2021, Schroeder and the Celtics signed a one-year, $5.89 million contract. Later, famous reporter Brian Windhorst reported that Schroeder had rejected the Lakers' 4-year, $84 million early contract renewal offer; another famous reporter Marc Stein said that the Lakers gave a 4-year, $80 million offer. Later, Schroeder said that the Lakers did not provide him with such a contract (4-year, 80 million / 4-year, 84 million US dollars).

In 2023, Schroder and the Raptors signed a two-year contract of $25.43 million. During this offseason, Schroeder joined the Kings, with a contract of US$44.43 million in three years.
