Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody extension situations
If the Warriors opt not to give either Kuminga or Moody an extension before
the October 21 deadline, then both players will be entering the 2024-25
season staring down restricted free agency next summer. While this is not
necessarily a bad thing, as many fourth-year players end up becoming
restricted free agents as they look to increase their value, the Warriors'
situation is slightly different because they may be forced to choose between
their two forwards.
如果勇士隊選擇在10月21日的截止日期前不給Kuminga或Moody任何一方延長合約，那麼兩
位球員將在2024-25賽季面臨明年夏天的受限制自由球員身份。這並不一定是壞事，因為許
多第四年球員最終成為受限制自由球員，以此來提高自己的價值，但勇士隊的情況稍有不
同，因為他們可能會被迫在這兩名前鋒之間做出選擇。
Kuminga obviously looks like the better overall player at this juncture given
how the Warriors use him, but Moody has always been a consistent talent on
the wing that would come at a much cheaper price. That is going to be the
biggest discussion regarding both players — what price the organization is
willing to pay to try and keep them.
目前來看，Kuminga顯然是整體上更好的球員，從勇士隊的使用情況來看就能看出來，但
Moody在側翼上一直是一位穩定的天才，而且他的價格會便宜得多。這將是關於兩位球員
的最大討論——球隊願意支付多少價格來保住他們。
As a result of the steady increase in production and role, Kuminga's value is
at an all-time high. While his camp is likely going to push for the full max
rookie extension, the same five-year, $225 million extension that Scottie
Barnes and Franz Wagner just received, the Warriors will likely be looking in
the ballpark of $140 million to $155 million, sources said. For example,
Jaden McDaniels received a five-year, $131 million extension from the
Minnesota Timberwolves in 2023, a deal that the Warriors are certainly
cognizant of pertaining to Kuminga's comparison.
由於Kuminga的產量和角色穩步提升，他的價值正處於歷史最高點。雖然他的陣營可能會推
動簽下與Scottie Barnes和Franz Wagner剛剛簽下的相同的五年2.25億美元的最大新秀
延長合約，但消息人士表示，勇士隊可能會將價格控制在1.4億美元至1.55億美元之間。
例如，2023年，明尼蘇達灰狼隊的Jaden McDaniels簽下了一份五年1.31億美元的延長合約
，這是一個勇士隊對Kuminga的比較中肯定會考慮的範例。
At the same time, with the money and revenue streams across the league
increasing, it would make sense for Kuminga's deal to surpass this recent
extension that McDaniels got.
隨著聯盟收入流和資金增加，Kuminga的合約金額超過McDaniels的合約是合理的。
Much like how conversations began last offseason with Klay and the Warriors,
there isn't expected to be much traction on getting a new deal done right
now. Kuminga and his camp are going to be pushing for a deal that pays no
less than $30 million per season, league sources said, whereas the Warriors
would much rather hold out and see how the young forward impacts the team
during the 2024-25 season. Nonetheless, the team still values Kuminga as one
of their top players, and he will undoubtedly be in the starting rotation
once again.
與Klay和勇士隊上賽季的談判開始的方式類似，目前並不預期會有太多進展。消息人士透
露，Kuminga的陣營正在推動每個賽季不少於3000萬美元的合約，而勇士隊則更希望保持
觀望，看看這位年輕前鋒在2024-25賽季對球隊的影響如何。儘管如此球隊仍然將Kuminga
視為他們的頂級球員之一，他無疑會再次出現在先發輪換陣容中。
Then there is Moody, who is also eligible for a rookie scale contract
extension. If Kuminga isn't going to get a new deal right now, there really
isn't much to discuss pertaining to the Warriors keeping Moody. The
22-year-old has been involved in trade talks throughout the summer, and the
Warriors do have a logjam of talent at the shooting guard and small forward
positions right now.
然後是Moody，他同樣有資格簽署新秀標準合約延長。如果Kuminga目前不會簽下新合約，
那麼關於勇士隊是否會留住Moody的討論也沒有太多意義。這位22歲的球員整個夏天一直
捲入交易傳聞中，勇士隊目前在得分後衛和小前鋒位置上也有大量的天才。
In addition to having Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors now have
Hield, Melton, and Anderson. All three new additions will be seeing
substantial minutes, which once again raises questions about how much of a
role and impact Moody will have during the 2024-25 season.
除了Kuminga和Andrew Wiggins，勇士隊現在還有Hield、Melton和Anderson。這三位新加
入的球員都會獲得大量出場時間，這再次引發了關於Moody在2024-25賽季將擔任多大角色
和發揮多大影響的問題。
There are only so many minutes, and as a result, Moody has been the one to
reside on the bench throughout the early portion of his career. While there
is certainly potential for him to grow into a key contributor either in or
out of the starting unit, Moody's best chance to find success would be with
another team besides Golden State. It would come as a shock to many if he was
to receive an extension prior to the Oct. 21 deadline.
出場時間是有限的，因此Moody在他職業生涯的早期大部分時間都待在板凳上。雖然他
確實有潛力成為先發或替補中的重要貢獻者，但Moody找到成功的最佳機會可能是在勇士
隊以外的球隊。如果他在10月21日截止日期前獲得延長合約，將令許多人感到驚訝。

短評或心得：苦命陣營想要5年225M 勇士目前給的範圍在140M-155M
穆迪的位子要跟很多人競爭 兩人很可能擇一留下
