Shams wrote an article today about the negotiation deadlock between Warriors and Kumingga.

Sources said that the Warriors have closed the negotiations to sign first and then exchange Kuminga, and have continued to refuse the Suns to use Reus O'Neal + second-round pick compensation and the Kings to use Malik Monk + future first-round pick chips to exchange Kuminga's offer.

Kumingga made it clear that he lacked interest in the Warriors' 2-year $45 million offer, due to the team options for the second year of the contract and the conditions for him to give up the trade veto.
