Jonathan Kuminga SUPERB In Return To Golden State Warriors, Lose To Toronto Raptors

Go figure, right. Steve Kerr goes back to Jonathan Kuminga, and JK goes for 20-points in 21 minutes of action. The Golden State Warriors fell behind BIG early, and were never able to catch up to the hot shooting Toronto Raptors, who were led by Immanuel Quickley’s 40-points.

  3. Warriors cannot demand value for JK you must get rid of him at all cost. Publicly slandering this man’s name and then expecting to get value is crazy. This franchise has failed extremely with this asset

  4. MDJ acting like they haven't gotten offers from multiple teams. There’s clearly a demand, he just doesn't like the offers and won't admit that Steve DNPing JK has killed them in negotiations.
    Throwing the player under the bus for something that's out of his control if to protect Steve

  5. Obviously the warriors a gonna get low balled on Kuminga. We’ve publicly shamed him basically and now we want a player better than him back for him. Warriors don’t understand market value

  6. Yall said trade curry?? yall crazy warriors went from the villians of the nba to the underdogs every sports show said the dynasty was over ,but all long as we make the playoffs were good, dont bet against curry and hit the panic button .

  15. Your trash gm just said KUMINGA, YOU TRASH, NO ONE WANTS TRASH. STOP DEMANDING A TRADE, even though we made you into TRASH😂😂😂 And Steve is like…… kuminga who for the past two months 😂😂😂

    The day Steph retires, this franchise might be worst that the pelicans. Steph is worth 8 billion dollars, not the team or owner or gm.

    Why? Because those bandwagon warriors fans will jump back on the kings train.

  16. I disagree with Kolsky. Kuminga never played well with Jimmy Butler. That’s why he was getting DNPs. You can’t have Jimmy Draymond and Kuminga on the floor at the same time. there’s no spacing. Kuminga was also just not listening to what her wanted him to do. He wasn’t rebounding enough. He didn’t want to play off the ball. Buddy Hield isn’t great, but he listens to Steve Kerr.

  17. You’re also missing the point about Kerr’s coaching. JK is the second most egregious part of what Kerr is doing. First and primarily it’s because he insists on playing his system with small guys who shoot inconsistently and can’t rebound or defend when the game matters most. He has cost this team just as many games as he has won them with his coaching if not more

  18. Steve and Mike intentionally made sure the warriors were down, subbed in JK and the warriors lose by 40 pts at the end.

    Just so Steve and Mike can tell the world…… SEE SEE HE TRASH. WE LOST BY 40. We played kuminga like yall wanted. He trash😂😂😂

  20. Nobody wanted Jimmy Butler but the warriors.Jimmy helped last year but to have Kuminga come in for him .Would have kept him from getting injured.Other teams hate the warriors.That why there are not any trade.Most players dont want to be coach by Kerr.Remember Tatum,Antman and Ingram.

  23. Now you are FORCED to play him Kerr. Hope that Jimmy has a Successful rehab from the ACL injury and a speedy recovery. Exposing why Kerr Wouldn't play Jonathan Kuminga in games , served the purpose of stunting his growth and development over time, proved to be a real concern. It had Nothing to do with matchups, if you can play the game, are under contract, it's the HC who then controls who are given minutes. Stay professional JK, honor your contractual obligations, and walk in, with briefcase in hand,at the exit interview and conduct the business of relocation in April.

  24. The only reason I can justify DNPing JK is they wanted to bubble wrap him for a trade. If he’s having a bad game play him less but no world a guy like him couldn’t at least be playing 10-15 minutes, more if he’s in rhythm?

  25. Kolsky: the Ws have no interior defense. Teams can charge the basket and score at will. We've seen this over and over. That said, keep JK after all if he'll "allow" it–and that's been the problem. Anyway, this current disaster is a golden opportunity for JK in all regards. Hey,, Kolsky, recall how the Ws have been busting out over the last 16 games without JK. The whole notion is that JK would be traded. Why play a player and try to integrate him into the team when he'll be gone soon enough? the "plan" this season was to trade him, and JK didn't want to play, except on his own terms—throughout his career. He's "Too good" to play for Kerr. Anyway JKs camp doesn't want him to play for the last month either. JK and Butler seem to be sympatico. What a story if JK steps up and brings it for the rest of the season, for Butler's sake. JK plays great in games the Ws lose. Anyway keep JK and play him and trade him in the summer.

  26. yeah if Steph and or Dray want to be traded–I'm down. For their own sake, and for the sake of the Ws. Dray would work great in LA. But LA doesn't have all that much to give back. I'd follow Steph and Dray on another team for sure. If we want what's best for Steph, and and he wants out—go for it. that said, I think Steph may well be happy with his career. throw in the Olympics: he has his trophies and then some. Bringing back a bucket full of talent and draft picks would be a last seeding gesture to the W's. Of course Steph and Dray will go down as W's. time to look down the road. Hey I love rebuilding! the anguish, the drama, the hatred of the front office…what could be better? Finally, the CBA limits rebuilding. get used to it.

  31. Warriors have a tremendous chance to make playoffs!! Play JK 30 -35 minutes, play him at the 3 !!!! Kerr might have to be fired, However Hobbit Ball is injury ball. PODZ, CANT PLAY DEFENSE!!!!! NO MORE 3 AND 4 GUARD LINE UPS.

  35. “Fire Kerr” people are idiots? But Steve Kerr is the only coach in the WORLD that plays 4 points guards and a PF cosplaying a Center..yeah a bunch of idiots and Steve Kerr is a hall of fame coach it had nothing to do with KD, Steph and Klay

  37. PG Steph
    SG Buddy
    SF Kuminga
    PF MPJ
    C Post

    6 Spence/Seth/Podz
    7 Melt/Richard/GPII
    8 Moody
    9 Gui
    10 TJD

    Move Dray, Horf, 4 of our 6 reserve guards and every pick we can find for MPJ (or Vuch or Sabon).
