Sign first and then change? The Warriors are expected to provide Qualification Quotes to Kumingga, and the Nets can provide 20 million+ starting salary

ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks wrote an article about issues related to the Warriors' offseason renewal and Kumingga's contract.

Marks wrote: "The salary of the three Kuzhangba's three has accounted for 85% of the team's total salary. And Kumingga's future affects the Warriors' offseason operation space. If he is not on the roster, the Warriors will be below the luxury tax line of $17.5 million, while below the two hard salary caps. They can use the $14.1 million non-tax middle class special case, but once the roster is full, they can't exceed the first hard salary cap."

"The Warriors are expected to give Kumingga a $7.9 million annual qualification offer, making him a restricted free agent. What happens next may be a waiting game. Brooklyn is the only team that can offer a starting salary of $20 million or more (the Warriors have the right to match), and the best option may be for both sides to explore signing and then exchange."
