Draymond Inexperienced has pushed again towards current remarks from Jonathan Kuminga’s agent, Aaron Turner, questioning the motivation behind his public protection of how Kuminga’s contract state of affairs was dealt with.
Turner has just lately appeared in a number of interviews explaining his strategy to Kuminga’s free company.
That included defending the choice to show down Golden State’s three-year, $75 million supply final yr, which contained a crew possibility for the ultimate season.
Kuminga as a substitute accepted a two-year, $46.8 million contract with a second-year crew possibility earlier than ultimately finalizing a two-year, $12.4 million take care of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.
Inexperienced believes Turner’s current feedback are much less about serving to Kuminga and extra about defending his personal popularity with potential future shoppers.
“You making an attempt to get the individuals off your again,” Inexperienced stated on his podcast. “You try this by going and get nice offers. Simply go try this. Put the give attention to that. Go and get an important deal.
“Not preventing off since you’re preventing this off in order that the subsequent potential shoppers see it and also you’re explaining it. This ain’t actually about JK. It’s in regards to the subsequent potential consumer. That’s the issue in that is you ain’t explaining that for JK’s sake.
“… That ain’t cool in any respect. That’s very self-serving. Let me look out for myself for my subsequent consumer so he know what occurred. I’m talking to them.”
