Than…maybe you shouldn’t have signed him.
Trade deadline is in 2 weeks bro your leverage will only get worse
said the quiet part out loud
Damn. He buried him more than prime Triple H
The fumbling of Kuminga should be studied. Not super impactful in the grand history of the nba, but what a front office blunder.
Is it really a demand, considering they only signed him back to trade him. It’s more of a “hurry up” than demanding a trade. He was getting traded either way, they don’t want him.
spoken like someone who’s not paying kuminga 22m to get dnps
Wasted a high pick when a handful of guys further down the board would’ve given them another window with the greatest shooter of all time but at least he gets to unload some zingers
I’m not even a Kuminga fan but it’s pretty clear this entire organization fucking hates the dudes guts for whatever reason
Just ask for less lol
Trade him for a big mac. If they’re lucky, they might get a whopper out of him
LOL
Eh yo, why do they hate Kuminga soooo much?
At this point I genuinely have no fucking idea why they extended him.
Send him to the Bulls for Williams, bruh
I have never seen anyone tank a young players trade value the way Mike Dunleavy has
They spent a lot of time not liking or wanting to play this dude … so yeah.
That also means GS isn’t likely getting squat.
genuinely, is he stupid?
Bucks fans instinctively chiming in with a good FMD for old time’s sake.
Nice self own.
How does saying this out loud help the Warriors either? You’re just gonna get lowballed even more now?
It’s easy to laugh at this from the comfort of my couch, but this is actually insanely petty and a pretty bad business tactic when you think about it for a second
If they’re going to trade Kuminga, then you’re shooting yourself in the foot by taking petty potshots at him like this. All you’re doing by “humbling him” like this is lowering his trade value, which will then lower the return that you get for him
The Warriors are prioritizing their petty hatred of Kuminga over the long-term wellness of their franchise. That’s disgustingly incompetent and malicious
And whose fault is that? They fucked this young dude over so bad. I’ll be cheering for him wherever he goes, hope he lights em up
This would be a super baller quote if it weren’t for the fact that the Warriors need Kuminga to have demand so they can get trade him, and they played a large part in killing his demand by mismanaging him.
No there doesn’t. You can give him up for less than he’s worth. Teams want him, just not at the price you’re trying to trade him for.
“My player has no demand” – The stupidest GM of all time
There would be demand if the coach played the damn guy. 13 guys were getting minutes the past 15 games while he couldn’t get a single minute of playing time. He averaged 21 ppg on 55% shooting and 42% from 3 in the semi conference playoffs against the Twolves last year. No way he should get zero playing time on a team that was playing .500 ball most of the year. Masterclass in coaching malpractice by Kerr
