Man, of all teams to get a torn acl, and it's against his former team
Having Danny Green speak on a warriors injury after what he did to Klay in 2019. Diabolical
We know JK's situation.
Jimmy's done for the year.
Buddy Hield is playing the fewest minutes of his career.
Trayce Jackson-Davis can't crack the rotation.
It's just a tough position to be in for the Warriors – who went from trying to balance 2 timelines…
To trading for Jimmy and going all-in with Steph…
To now being trapped in a middle ground where they likely won't be contenders this year, and their future is completely up in the air.
Steph somehow is still putting up All-Star numbers at age 37.
But the situation around him looks pretty bleak right now.
Malika looks pregnant
I hope Jonathan say he still wants to leave!!!
they need to jk
Kerr totally screwed this up on the treatment of Kuminga. Prayers up for Butler.
Kerr’s ego is too big to apologize to Kuminga. Zero value playing him because the relationship is too badly damaged. Zero value as a trade asset and it’s Kerr’s fault.
Tank the season and improve lottery position.
Swap butler for lavine.
And swap JK and Hield for wiggs. Might have to toss a lightly protected pick or two in there but it’s the best you got with the situation and most importantly curry, green, lavine and wiggs would all come off the books after next season so the financial flexibility would still be there. Idk why people are saying it’s a bad move cuz it’s not. Wiggs is elite when he’s a third option so he can focus on defense, cutting and rebounding. Lavine would be the most dynamic scorer after KD that Steph has ever played with and he’ll get basically all the shots he wants with the second unit
Warriors suck a**. I love Jimmy and wish him well. Warriors don't deserve him But karma can be a b. That management team is full of unethical backstabbers
Says Danny Green who certainly knows about causing devaststing injuries! His bad decision/cheap shot on Klay Thompson will not be forgotten!
Butler and kuminga for Davis dallas
Do not Trade JK that's all im guna say👍🏼💙💛
Get Wiggins back !
Marc J Spears looking oike everyone auntie from 75th street Baptist church
Every player has ups and down the problem is Kerr make jk noy fit instead of train him to be part of the system …now that jemmy got injured…what happened right now?
Jimmy gonna retire! All that rehabbing to come back at the age of 38 is gonna be a lot ! He turns 37 this year ! That’s a lot of rehab for somebody his age I wish a speedy recovery
Kuminga is not playing. He wasn't in warmups or the pregame huddle and he was wearing a hoodie over his head during the national anthem…
The ball movement ends with kumiga. It’s not a good fit
What hurts you today makes you stronger tomorrow.
Podz, Moody, Horf, Dray and Horf (maybe a couple of our reserve guards) for MPJ.

Kerr gon hafta suck it up and play Kuminga!
Just play buddy. He's better than JK
If the colts can bring back Philip Rivers, maybe the Warriors can use a Danny Green. It would be a great feel good story for the NBa.
Kuminga quit on the warriors and have every right to do so! No need to integrate him back. Let the man go and move on! Best case scenario is to rebuild and tank but… you have #30!!!
Jimmy is about to be on his 6th team in 14 seasons
I think his career is over…
