Steve Kerr on he’ll turn to Kuminga:
“Sure absolutely”
Like saying to a kid we’ll get ice cream but driving straight to the dentist
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. “Oh, no,” I said. “Disneyland burned down.” He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
The nephew’s villain origin story
That nephew grew up to be Dillon Brooks
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you’ll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.
Jack Handy!
Was this a Dave Berry-ism? I know I’ve heard it before, just can’t remember where.
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey
It’s sad that whole families can be torn apart by something as simple as, wild dogs.
Knew it lol. JH is a legend
Jack Handey probably a “consultant” or behind-the-bench assistant for the Warriors.
Good old Jack Handey
That one’s an all-time banger.
Stolen valor!!!! That’s deep thoughts by jack handy
The key is to start them young.
I was at my kids dentist office and none of them cried or screamed like I did when I was younger
It was wild
Sure Kerr. I’ll believe it when I see it
Sure, whatever you say guys.
He muttered “as trade bait” after “sure” under his breath but the mic didn’t pick it up.
I feel like the chances Kuminga gets traded fell precipitously with Jimmy’s injury. Kuminga already had basically no value except as an expiring for salarly filler they could attach a bunch of 1sts to in a big trade. Now it makes absolutely no sense to give up ANY future assets for this team with Jimmy done. Without the 1sts, I don’t know what a trade for Kuminga would even look like. It would probably have to be with a team who has a player they don’t want who’s on a longer contract that they’ll get rid of for Kuminga’s expiring. But I’m not sure why the Warriors would want to take on a longer contract for a meh player at this point.
Warriors organization is in a ridiculously hard situation. Either triple down, mortgage your post Steph future or start the rebuild. Kuminga’s fate is at the center of that.
It’s basically Giannis or nothing at this point. Post-Steph draft picks would give the Bucks a future, but IDK how the salary match is gonna work.
I doubt Giannis would want that but who knows. Butler/Giannis are making nearly identical salaries. So in theory if we just give the Bucks every pick in existence, the salary works if we 1:1 Butler/Giannis.
But Giannis wouldn’t want that because Steph/Dray/Kerr groups contracts end in 1.5 years and he’d be stranded.
Bucks wouldn’t want to ship off their 31 year old generational superstar for some picks.
So unless there’s some other angle or Giannis explicitly requests he wants a trade and requests the Warriors, it’s not happening. Id love to be wrong but I’d guess the chance if that happening is under 1%.
I think there’s a middle ground option that’s the option they should go for even if it’s not going to sound very satisfying…just have fun watching Steph play his final years. I think mortgaging the future would be insane because this team isn’t going to be a contender if you add someone like MPJ. I also think you can’t start a full rebuild without trading Steph because he’s far too great for a team to tank, and I don’t think they should trade Steph.
So yeah, I know it’s not that satisfying an answer, but I think the best path forward is to enjoy Steph’s final years w/out destroying the future and compete for play-in spots and maybe get lucky and slide into the 6th seed. I prefer that to short-sighted trades of future assets or trading Steph. I posted somewhere else about going to a bunch of games in Dirk’s last season when I lived in Dallas. Right at the end of Dirk’s late prime, the Mavs had no hope of building a contender (they were in a similar situation to the Warriors) and teams called about trading for Dirk and Dirk told Cuban no. Even as broken down as Dirk was by the very end, I promise no Mavs fans would have traded getting a few decent 1sts from some good team for the experience of watching Dirk limp around in his final season and hit a few of his iconic one-legged fadeaways. I swear…in his final season, the Mavs crowd cheered every Dirk basket as he’d just hit his game-winning shot in Game 2 of the 2011 finals. Maybe going to a bunch of those games is clouding my judgment, but I truly think the best option is just to be content with what they have now and enjoy every minute of Steph we can.
Yea I mean, I agree, I wouldn’t ship Steph off to start a rebuild. Just let him run off into the sunset for the next 1.5 years mentoring the new guys. He’s the team’s all-time goat and deserves that if that’s what he wants. I don’t think that’s what he would want honestly. It’s hard to guess what Steph wants, because anything he could say will be over-analyzed and overreacted so he keeps his media answers about this topic fairly neutral.
Steph is too good to not be in a competitive roster. The middle ground is not an option.
Even if they mortgage the future, the roster isn’t going to be competing for a title with a dead $54 million on their cap from Butler. Jimmy was having a very good season, and the Warriors are currently the 8th seed. So I guess they could mortgage the future to trade for a player around Jimmy’s caliber to be what…around the 8th seed but now without future post-Steph 1sts? The only slim chance of competing required adding big talent to the team. With Jimmy done, all a big trade would do is replace Jimmy’s talent and they’d be in the same place they were but with a much darker future.
Crosses his fingers under the table
Double positive. That means he isn’t gonna do it
As a Canadian, we do this sort of thing, and I’ve heard midwesterners in the USA have these kinds of habits, too
“No, yeah”
“Yeah, no.”
“No, for sure, yeah”
“Yeah, definitely, for sure”
and you have decide if there’s a silent BUT or if they’re being polite about blowing you off or if they mean what they’re saying.
I turn left here, right?
Right
That is correct, right.
oh only tangentially related, but in spanish “straight ahead” and “right” are “derecho” and “derecha”. Makes giving these sort of indications extremely hard lol
Same in Aus, I’ve heard “nah yeah nah” before.
As much as I like Kerr as a coach, his management of Kuminga over the years has been some of the worst people management I’ve ever seen.
You don’t get a chance to develop properly, you don’t get to make mistakes at all. Playing in fear of getting benched has to be the worst environment to be in.
I understand his bad habits and all but I can’t imagine Kerr’s mentors in Pop and Phil would have handled it so poorly.
Kerr hates Kuminga, it’s pretty simple.
Yeah I don’t get this. He’s played a lot since he got drafted, he just hasn’t played well consistently. He can’t shoot, throws up post fades like he’s derozan, and doesn’t play good defense. Now he’s benched bc he’s tradable and someone will take his 20pt production for $20mil, but I doubt a contender will want to keep him
Well now we will find out because Jimmy is gone and he has to fill that gap
No… Kuminga just doesn’t flow with his motion offence.
I won’t be surprised if even with Butler out, he tries Kuminga and still finds that the team is better without him.
I don’t think people realize how much Kuminga got to play. It’s more than people think. He averaged 21, 25, 27 minutes the past three seasons and played when he was healthy. He never got better and was a losing player. How many more minutes did y’all want Kerr to give him when he refused to do the dirty work stuff the team needed from him? Just two seasons ago, he was 4th on the Warriors in total minutes. Last season he was on pace to be 3rd in minutes until he got hurt and missed a ton of games.
People act like Kerr never gave him a chance. He got so many chances! He hasn’t gotten better, he hasn’t learned the offense, and he’s already in his 5th season.
And his biggest problem is that he clearly can’t grasp Kerr’s motion offense. But at the same time, he’s never shown he’s remotely good enough for Kerr to reshape an offense around his strengths. So his option was learn the offense, try on defense, dive for a ball every once in a while, and maybe learn that you’re allowed to pass. That didn’t happen.
I don’t even think it’s a matter of effort. The kid tries. It’s that he also pouts when he doesn’t get to close even though he thinks he’s playing well.
He’s a child trying to play with adults, thinking he’s entitled to more, because Lacob and his clown agent keep whispering promises and praise in his ear.
He does not consistently try on both ends. Literally one of his biggest issues is consistent effort playing off ball on defense and offense, rebounding and getting back in transition.
I don’t want to knock the guy, but I agree that his effort hasn’t always been great. He doesn’t switch well, doesn’t rebound well for a guy with his athleticism, doesn’t make the “doesn’t show up on the box score” scrappy plays, and he rarely moves much on offense if he doesn’t directly have the ball. I don’t think it’s entirely an effort thing (though his effort isn’t good for a guy who was supposedly drafted for his athleticism and motor)…I think part of it is that he doesn’t understand the game and doesn’t know what he should be doing. But at this point, I doubt he ever learns because he’s had plenty of chances.
Inconsistent motor esp on defense was one of his draft concerns. Read his draft profile, he just hasn’t progressed as a player in most areas DESPITE Kerr’s coaching.
“Although defence is his biggest strength, his effort and energy will determine just how elite he becomes on that end of the floor. He has all the physical tools to be a lockdown defender, but he isn’t always locked in.
Offensively, Kuminga has a tendency to get tunnel vision, putting his head down and forcing a shot that is out of the flow of the offence. He can make simple passes, but he is much more likely to look for his own shot than setting up an open teammate.
He needs to develop a more consistent jumpshot, shooting 38.7 percent from the field and 24.6 percent from 3 in the bubble. There are plenty of areas of Kuminga’s game that need refining, and the team that selects him will need to be patient, but the potential is certainly there.”

God that’s depressing. That’s from 2021 and it sounds like nothing changed — yet half of warriors fanbase think that’s Kerr’s fault.
Ha that draft scouting report is honestly pretty hilarious. He somehow hasn’t fixed a single one of those issues in five seasons. You could write the exact same scouting report about him right now.
Seeing this and his fans clamor for him to get more minutes. It’s like they want the Warriors to lose.
Dude literally does the dumbest stuff on the court, and people are surprised that Kerr doesn’t play him. Every second possession is JK driving into traffic and getting stripped while foul baiting.
idk i think kerr doesn’t develop his players well. look at all the top draft picks they had including james wiseman. he’s fortunate the splash bros were already a thing when he arrived.
They also have some big success stories like poole and looney. It’s impressive to get big production out of late first round picks.
Wiseman sucking isn’t the Warriors fault. He just sucks (and also got injured a bunch).
And Post, will Richard looks great but it’s still early
I don’t think Kerr’s very good at developing players (though that’s partly likely because he’s almost always been coaching a contending team), but I give him a 100% free pass on Wiseman. I think there was no team Wiseman could have gone to that would have resulted in him being an even average NBA player. He was drafted in that weird COVID year where the players had barely played any games, and I think if COVID hadn’t hit and people got to see more tape of Wiseman, he likely wouldn’t have been a top 10 pick. He’s just absolutely terrible at basketball, and it’s not his fault or an effort thing. He just isn’t good at anything. And most glaringly, he had the worst hands of pretty much any player I’ve ever seen. The poor guy couldn’t catch a rebound, much less an entry pass. Besides Hashim Thabeet, Wiseman is my choice for a super high pick who, as soon as you watch him play for 5 minutes, you knew he wasn’t going to be an NBA player.
Maybe there’s a world where someone could have developed him. I doubt it though. He just didn’t know how to play basketball and couldn’t catch a ball. He was the number one pick, and he’s basically already out of the NBA. He’s currently on a 10-day contract and can’t even get minutes on a tanking Pacers team that has been decimated by injuries. I think he’s out of the NBA by next season…even Thabeet and Olowakandi managed to at least ride the bench for years. And Wiseman isn’t good enough to get a spot in any of the good Euro leagues, so I think he’ll either be retired by 25 or maybe playing in China. That’s pretty astonishing for a #1 pick. It’s some Anthony Bennet-level stuff.
More the front office’s fault than Kerr. It’s okay to take an L on a guy who didn’t work out with the coach. They’ve been so hellbent on using his contract as an asset. Maybe they get something positive out of it but they’ve held him through their period of contending which is already a waste of roster and cap space.
They waited WAY too long to trade him as an asset, and as of last night with Jimmy’s injury, there’s now basically no chance it can be a real asset. At this point, Kuminga’s only value was as an expiring to match salary in a bigger trade where they mortgage their future by giving up a bunch of 1sts. Now, with Jimmy injured, that makes absolutely no sense to do, so I don’t even think he’s an asset anymore purely as salary matching. I don’t know why the front office has been so enamored with him. They waited WAY too long, and as of last night, he’s not even valuable purely as an expiring.
I remember a mic’d moment where Kerr gets mad and “introduces” Steph to Kuminga and says Kuminga’s job is to pass to Steph.
Ha, I can imagine it. I remember a video going around either late last year or this summer that was a supercut of clips of Kuminga dribbling aimlessly to get a shot while Steph was open and waving for the pass. I’m honestly surprised Kuminga’s averaged 1.8 assists (which is bad), considering how few times I recall ever seeing him pass the ball.
How about don’t pay him 24m then?
They did that so they could possibly package his expiring contract with picks for a bigger trade. Now with Jimmy’s injury that doesn’t make any sense, so the front office screwed up by waiting way too long to trade him. They should have done it last year.
Great coaches like Pop adapt their system to fit their roster. They don’t shit on a guy and jerk him around for five seasons like Kerr has done.
I’m not even a Kuminga believer. I don’t think he had all-star potential. But, they have totally fucked his development up and treated him poorly.
He can definitely be a useful player in the right context.
pops guys also bought into the program. they weren’t killing plays by trying to iso and shoot fadeaway middys.
while i agree kerr couldve handled him better it takes two to tango. he can definitely be useful in another system
If he can’t buy in, then move him.
I’m Trying Jennifer.
ur not tbh
Pop was GM too, so if a player didn’t fit (ie Rodman) Pop would get rid of them asap.
Kerr clearly doesn’t want Kuminga on the team but the front office doesn’t want to trade him for nothing. Since he’s the closest thing to a success from the original “two timelines” plan.
Kuminga could have had value if he was traded 3 years ago when he was seen as a young prospect with a lot of potential.
Kerr is a great coach, but Kuminga has never shown that he’s nearly good enough to adapt a roster for. What does he do well besides volume scoring on bad efficiency? And Kerr DID adapt his motion offense to let KD run ISOs, but letting Kuminga run ISOs while doing barely anything else would be silly, and that’s what he needs.
That’s not remotely true. Pop picked and pulled players that fit his style of play way more than you think. So does Spoelstra.
Phil Jackson was also astute at getting the best out of these types of players by playing to their strengths
He was also excellent at leaving teams before they got complicated.
It’s doable to adapt the system drastically and Lakers are a prime example. They play iso-heavy and matchup hunting with Luka. But when he’s not on the floor, they run way more sets and plays. However, Luka is literally top five to top ten at scoring in isolation, shooting off screens/handoffs and getting to the line. If Luka was just “good” or very good, I don’t think an organization would disrupt their normal system like this and Kuminga is just simply not worth it.
Phil is a much better example. He got it done with Rodman and Pop simply couldn’t.
I think it is more that Pop was good at convincing players to buy into a role they would excel at within the system. We also had a lot of guys that just didnt work out and we moved on from them quickly since pop was GM.
I think the real key is that the coach and GM need to have a unified vision of what is working on the roster and what they need to do to improve it.
Hard to say that without knowing what has gone on behind the scenes
The only reasonable take tbh. It’s literally impossible to know. People like to just hear themselves talk.
Occam’s razor. He’s not playing he’s not good. But that’s not a fun thought exercise to type out on Reddit
Bro on paper Kuminga is an all star trust me bro
When he plays he’s not good
And they like to project things based on their failures. No way Steve Kerr can be perfect. Let me find some flaws.
yeah. Kum could be the biggest baby imaginable or stubborn or has a massive ego. there’s a reason he isn’t playing
You say this like he’s never gotten chances. He has, he just continually sucked and refused to learn or improve.
His best season was the one where he got the most minutes. How about don’t pay him 25 million if he’s that bad?
It’s so obvious who actually watched games and those that just go on bball ref and look at stats.
Kuminga has had many chances. He has spells of good play but his flaws are so glaringly obvious and outweigh the positives he brings.
Also Kerr made Jordan Poole (one of the lowest bbiq players of all time) into arguably the 3rd best player on a championship team. The notion that he doesnt play young guys or give guys a chance to develop is so unfounded.
If you go on bball ref you see Kuminga has gotten minutes and his BPM and oncourt and on off are terrible, and his TS has declined the past 2 years.
He just isn’t that good.
Crazy how he doesn’t get credit for Poole but gets blamed for Kuminga. What has Jordan Poole accomplished since leaving? I can name a dozen role players that gave us quality minutes and left and were unplayable.
I mean Kerr somehow been there for the development process of guys like Post and Moody right now. Going back he was part of Kevon Looney getting up to speed to be a vital part of the team.
Kerr just straight up doesn’t like Kuminga.
Or Kuminga doesn’t do what the others do?
I think Pop and Phil would’ve murdered Kuminga. Spurs FO isn’t incompetent and got rid of Stephen Jackson, for example.
Stephen Jackson, who was a crucial player in the 2003 title run, was a perfect example of good management and how to get the most out of a disgruntled player
Stephen Jackson is way way better than Kuminga
I didn’t bring his case up.
Me neither
I’m aware. But you’re also grossly overstating Stephen Jackson’s play with the Spurs. He was a decent role player then nothing more.
Nothing more than a decent role player? He started and averaged 30 minutes on an nba championship team in only his 3rd year, which is way way better than what kuminga is
Stephen Jackson’s slow motion drives to the basket where he either makes the shot or gets fouled was always funny to see.
Tbf Kuminga is just bad
That’s just not true tho. Kuminga played plenty. The jimmy butler trade nuked his value with the team tho since none of he butler or draymond provide spacing
And yet I can name a dozen other players that have developed quite well under this system. This is professional sports. Not pee wee soccer. You fight like hell to get in the rotation and if you don’t fit, you don’t fit. Just say you don’t like Steve Kerr or that you don’t understand professional sports coaching. Because players are cut everyday in the NFL and you take no issue with that. But one player doesn’t develop under Steve Kerr and it’s a problem?
Yes. When you draft him 7th overall and only averages 22 minutes per game in his career and you then opt to pay him 25 million a year.
The Warriors could have not picked up his options for year 2-4. He has a shitty attitude, but I can’t blame him tbh.
So you just hate Steve Kerr. Kuminga was signed to be traded. Why do you think it’s OK to ignore that. My car’s lease was up but it was worth more than I paid. So I bought it. And then I sold it for a profit. Crazy. Right?
My high school JV basketball coach said his coach (when he was playing in HS) would pull him out of the game if he missed ONE shot. I can’t imagine playing under that kind of restriction.
Nah Phil and Pop would have been the same. Difference is that Phil and Pop would have been able to ship Kuminga out sooner. Lacob tried to force the two timelines thing so the FO couldn’t trade young assets.
i’m so tired of this dumb ass narrative. Kuminga has been given so many opportunities, and he blows every single one. i just want him off the team at this point.
This is also one of my biggest concerns as well
How do you expect a player to develop if all that they’re thinking abt when they step on the court is not making any mistakes to not be benched?
You’ll just have a player overthinking about everything and this just ends up being a negative for everyone
That’s pretty much the Miami Heat system. Iguodala and Robinson spoke about it. Must be locked in all the way all the time
Say this shit in 5 or 10 years after kum buckets is out of the league. He’ll never win anything.
His potential is irrelevant. How do you jerk a guy around like this for years, then pay him starter money only to continue to jerk him around?
Why should he ever care about his team and his coach when this is the treatment he gets?
It’s a bad thing that the Warriors paid him more than he could have gotten anywhere else? He could’ve taken the qualifying, he could’ve found an offer somewhere else but him and his agent took the big money because of what his market was.
Well, I’ll tell you how. He’s selfish, doesn’t listen to coaches and obviously has a bad relationship with his coach.
Do you think they drafted him just to be mean to him lmao?
I’ll believe it when I see it
Believe it or not…more DNPs
Don’t believe it
He is indeed a basketball player that the warriors signed
definitely one of the NBA players of all time
One of the NBA players in history
Haaah I’ve seen this movie before Steve
Lol…bro doesn’t care. Kuminga is dead in kerrs eyes lol
Im no genius but “Nah, fuck him” doesn’t sound as good.
Yeah. I don’t know what people expect him to say.
I’ve rarely seen people defend a bench player this hard. Kuminga got minutes steady for three straight years and didn’t fit with the team and didn’t produce any trade value. Im hard pressed to find any Warriors fan who thinks they would’ve been better off playing him.
But people on the internet act like this is all Kerr’s fault when Kuminga hasn’t been able to fit into a system after four years. Hasn’t made any shooting of playmaking progress but still people act like he is entitled to minutes for some reason. The Warriors paid him more than he’s worth and are trying to trade him, what else could he want at this point? This is the NBA, you dont get minutes just cause you want to.
In part because Warriors fans have insisted the guy has value waiting to be unlocked on another team.
But they obviously have some expectation of a bench player returning a significant starter, so here we are.
I think you’re really overstating what the Warriors think they’re going to get for Kuminga, they just don’t want negative value back but nobody thinks Kuminga and his contract would bring back a starter and especially not a significant starter whatever that means in this context. Unless they attach a bunch of picks but then the picks are more the prize.
People want the Warriors to make a bad trade to help out Kuminga but that’s just not how basketball teams operate, so here we are.
I mean, most bench guys on big contracts —especially those getting consistent DNP-CDs — ARE negative value. So why is there an expectation to get positive value for negative?
I guess you would have to tell me what you feel like would be a good trade because from your description, it feels like my initial thoughts were spot on.
So why is there an expectation to get positive value for negative?
Why is there an expectation that he should be traded if it hurts the Warriors? Like I said teams don’t make bad trades because a bench player is unhappy.
I guess you would have to tell me what you feel like would be a good trade because from your description
Kuminga for Nurkic, Jordan Clarkson, Rui, Huerter, maybe Monk and the funny one would be for Klay. Maybe the Warriors throw in a second round pick or two depending on the player
Why is there an expectation he should be traded? I mean, you should probably ask that question to Steve Kerr. Kuminga can rot away on the bench for all I care.
But the Warriors and their fans clearly don’t expect that to be what happens (otherwise why sign him in the first place), so again, that’s why I asked what you expected.
It is funny to see Monk on that list now when he was considered “bad value” back for Kuminga at one point. I would say most of those guys probably are by the Warriors’ offseason standards. Glad to see y’all are getting more realistic though.
It was always the plan to trade him for something like this, I don’t know why you think it wasn’t. He only makes $20M they were never going to get a significant starter for that.
I agree Monk is considered negative value because of the length of his contract so it probably won’t be that but this is the caliber of player they can get in my opinion.
I think it wasn’t because of all the Warriors fans who turned up their nose at Malik Monk this summer lol
MPJ was still being thrown around as of like two weeks ago. But like I said, I’m glad yall are being more realistic now.
I’ve seen plenty of Warriors fan want a young piece who has clear star potential back for Kuminga because they’re absolutely terrified of the post-Curry future. And when you point out that that’s an unrealistic return, and that it’s in fact normal for a franchise to be bad for a bit after a long era defining dynasty, they get paranoid and say you’re just praying on the Dubs’ downfall.
So a player talented enough to be paid over 20m+ is not good enough for back of the rotation minutes? Explain to me how that works?
Of course he’s good enough for those minutes. But they want to trade him. So why build around him or risk injury?
They overpaid him to control the asset and make him happy financially at least.
Is it just me or does it feel like Kerr wouldn’t be the head coach if curry didnt exist right now
Hard to say. He is definitely still a good coach, he has been excellent historically, but he obviously has big struggles with development if the player doesn’t have the BBIQ he wants or potentially if they struggle to gain it. I still think he would be great if a team had a roster built to contend, the truth is the Warriors don’t have that (and definitely don’t have that without Jimmy).
I just believe Kerr hates where the game has gone stylistically and finds it difficult to coach. Which ironically his Warriors teams created some of this style.
Is it just me or would Phil Jackson not be a head coach if MJ and Kobe didn’t exist? Pop, If Tim Duncan didn’t exist? 2022 was a master class in coaching, the Warriors window was considered shut by then. They just upset the #2 seed last year. There isn’t a year he he’s underperformed the talent since KD left. Ppl think he’s a bad coach because Kuminga isn’t good despite plenty of opportunity, give me a break.
He would’ve been fired years ago
A lot of individuals in the Warriors organization would be working at Chipotle if Curry didn’t exist
Just me or bob myers would’ve gotten fired at some point if curry didn’t exist?
Just me or Klay and Draymond wouldn’t have ever been all stars if curry didn’t exist?
Swapping Jimmy Buckets for Kum Buckets
Kumin buckets?
I am sure they’ll be able to trade their highly lauded prospect who they don’t even play because he’s too good, for a player capable of replacing Jimmy. Kuminga for Giannis straight up?
Me when my mom asks if I ate my veggies while I’m holding a napkin full of mushed up peas under the table.
The two timelines idea was garbage from the jump and you could always tell Kerr was never on board
Sure absolutely…. If we down to 4 players
I read turn on.
He’s so pissed 🤣
Kuminga time, Break a leg kid.
Kerr probably.
Kuminga be like low key fuck Kerr.
Could we? Sure, absolutely.
His fingers are crossed under the table
Son please.
lol
Cap he said that lost time
He just said that to appease the reporter and get to the next question. There is no reason to play Kuminga now still.
It’s giving “guy who doesn’t love his gf anymore but stays because he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings”
Translation “Begrudgingly I will”
“For the next 5 games”
Why do people still expecting good stuff from a mediocre basketball player?
X Doubt
The question was “could you turn to Kuminga,” not “will you turn to Kuminga.”
“Could I? Sure… Will I?…”
i expected Kerr to laugh and say “trust me, Kuminga is no Jimmy”
Aw man, we shouldn’t. Going to Kuminga is going back to our tank commander
This is the worst thing to ever happen to Steve Kerr.
Sure.. “wait we need him” absolutely
Turn to him as a scapegoat?
he should turn into Kuminga like in one of those wacky body swap movies. A youthful 6’8” Kerr would be unstoppable beyond the arc, and what does the head coach do anyway? A disguised Kuminga could handle it no problem.
Gaslighting at its finest
Well they don’t have a choice now they ain’t trading him now. Regardless of yea the warriors don’t want him there and he don’t wanna be there they need to start a rebuild but there ain’t nothing they can do to actually be a contender in two years. Literally nothing and if the FO literally just keep trying to extend this it will backfire badly, they own five of there 6 first round draft picks so make sure you don’t pick anymore whiffs and start rebuilding.
Glad kuminga finally leaving lol. What a train wreck
Steve Kerr is pure evil
Steve Kerr is a terrible coach
Sometimes I also don’t know what kuminga did to make himself relevant
