[Charania] Jimmy Butler is actually holding a team function, a team mini-camp in San Diego this week… The only player on the potential Warriors roster that isn’t there is RFA Jonathan Kuminga. My understanding is he’s not appearing at this team function, this camaraderie mini-camp.

1. Breaking news: player without contract is conducting himself like he isn’t actually under contract with the team right now:

2. Well yeah, he’s not on the team

3. “Player on the potential Warriors roster”

   Aka he’s not on the actual roster bruh

4. Jimmy think he is going to recreate his Miami experience in golden state………….we will see how that goes

5. The last thing Kuminga needs is to get injured without a contract right before pre season.

6. I mean it makes sense considering he’s technically on the team.

   I doubt that Horford, Melton, GPII, and Seth Curry will be there

7. Shams doing a nice enough job not to call it the “Team Unction”

8. Ehh Jimmy skipped hella Heat stuff when he wanted out, if anybody should understand it’s him

9. If anyone ever doubted that these “reporters” aren’t just glorified mouth pieces for the teams they represent/get leaks from/spread information on the behalf of.

   Kuminga isn’t under contract because the Warriors haven’t made him an offer he deems acceptable. What would happen if he tore his ACL at the camp? Who on earth would ever take that risk?

10. I also can potentially be on the Warriors roster, why aren’t these guys reporting about me

11. >at this team function, this camaraderie mini-camp.

    Lol stop it

12. Charania destroyed every shred of credibility he had once he made the jump to ESPN. It’s been embarrassing to see how he conducts himself now.

13. This camaraderie mini camp, this abridged friendship event, this short team building exercise

14. Warriors have the most toxic fan base. They’re trying to gaslight us into hating Kuminga.

15. Are the other free agents they haven’t signed going to be there?

16. In Kumingas defense, he doesn’t need teammates to score. Send him to the Kings.

17. Kuminga does not warrant this kind of coverage he is getting, a good prospect but nothing more that he will hold a team to ransom.

18. Haha warriors dumb, haha warriors fans all mean and dumb haha

19. What about Al Horford?

20. I see Malika Andrews. And I skip the segment

21. Did Jimmy Butler send Shams the guests list or what lmao? Sports reporting is crazy nowadays 

22. It’s a little ironic coming from Jimmy, but this is just how the business side works. A player without a signed deal has zero incentive to risk injury at an unofficial event. Hopefully they get the contract sorted so Kuminga can get back to building that chemistry.

23. Kuminga’s whole problem is he’s not a team player, this would actually help. It’s not just your typically money situation

24. “Potential Warriors roster?” No, I’m pretty sure there are millions of “potential” Warriors who aren’t at the mini camp.

    Shams is falling in love with these weasel words to generate news where there is none.

    An alternate headline could be “Players not on Warriors not attending team function.”

25. Hey look the Warriors pr doing character assassination on a young player they are in a contract discussion with again
