Golden State Warriors STILL Interested In Trey Murphy

Despite Jimmy Butler’s season ending with a torn ACL, the Golden State Warriors still appear to be interested in Trey Murphy from the New Orleans Pelicans, per ESPN. Could this trade make sense for the Warriors, plus could they add in another team to also provide a dynamic scoring punch? Chuck Walter and Mike Loginoff debate.

  1. Warriors fans genuiley make no sense to me and ya’ll have to confuse yourselves bc your saying that Kuminga is empty calories but want Trey Murphy for him??? Like there’s no logic in there you can’t get a good piece back if the piece you are trading in your own GM’s words has no demand. They need to start rebuilding bc even after going 12-4 or whatever it is this team is still in 8th place. It’s not like this is a number 2 seed or something this is literally still a play in team who’s best players are all over 35, I hope your front office doesn’t do the dumb thing and send away your first just to be below average bc no matter what return you get if this team doesn’t get a top tier superstar in the league there’s not going to be a turnaround and that’s just how it is.

  2. I don't dislike Kuminga. I don't think that serious Dubs fans dislike him either. (Sure, I think his loud Online Stans are irritating and his Agent is an idiot). But let's be fair. The Dubs Have only ever won with that high ball movement offense with coordinated cuts and great defense. Good shot for great shot- defenders getting exhausted. We just saw that last week. We saw Kuminga play in that lane in November and we applauded him. He stopped. He wants to be Kobe and he doesn't have that Kobe skillset. I'd just ask that folks watch if we continue to be able to play movement ball, because the ball has energy- The guys spreading to 1 side of the court so that JK can ISO won't work, especially when refs stop giving him the whistle. He will put up good numbers though.

  3. I wouldn't mind getting Wiggs back honestly (If TMiii can't be had). Wiggs would have no problems sharing SF minutes with Jimmy when he comes back next year. I'm just worried about where the money comes from to re-sign Melton.

  4. Trey Murphy will not be enough to win a championship 😂it’s over for this year they would be stupid to trade assets. Trade Dray sit Steph most nights and try to get in this deep talented draft. Trying to build a team trying to patch a team together around old guys doesn’t work like that no more they should’ve learned this with the Jimmy situation paid him a $120 million for 6 months of work lol😂all the good teams built through the draft that’s the new way the Warriors had their run they give up some assets than Steph get a injury or Dray. It’s over for the Warriors since the punch the culture of the Warriors got knocked out that day too 😂

  5. 11:55 I think it's misleading to say they don't win when kuminga plays. They don't win games regardless, stop it. The warriors are barely above .500. Let's be reasonable here. He sat out a lot of games so they should have won more.

  6. Mike Kerr's hate of JK is real lol….Warriors won 75% without JK is funny! Even if that were true, look at who they were playing….bottom teams or teams without their stars….and mostly home games 🤦🏻‍♂️

  7. If the team doesn't win when JK plays, why bring in MPJ, Trey Murphy etc? Obviously those are empty calories as well because those teams aren't winning! You want players that play 30+ mins and give you 20+ pts on non-winning teams….you honestly dont think JK can do that? 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

  8. If it was me, I would call the San. Antonio husbands and ask them, what would you give us for Steph Curry, baby castle and the other guard in 3 1st round picks. Or harper and the other guard

  9. Hopeful that someday these JK naysayers will have to eat their words. Realistically though I think they’ll always find a way to spin it – “he’s finally bought in”, “he wasn’t playing like this before”, “Kerr’s tutelage has finally had an impact”. Give me a break. Kerr has done everything in his power to ruin this kid’s career.

  10. My man, you bringing up coming off the bench in NAIA isn’t like a hall of fame coach benching you in front of millions while Steph Curry is your teammate 😂

  11. I could also see a 2022 style team if you trade Jimmy Kuminga TJD Post for Vucevic Collins Huerter Williams.
    You'd have all the makings of a championship team. Look at that closing lineup and the depth.
    (#=expiring contracts)
    Horford Vucevic# Collins#
    Draymond Santos# GP2#
    Williams Moody Huerter# (Leon)
    Melton# Richard Buddy
    Curry Podz Seth# (Spencer)
    The dream would be Draymond helping Williams reach his potential elite 3D. He's basically a bigger stronger version of Moody atm. Vucevic anchored the #1 defense with Orlando years ago… so if motivated he could be huge on both ends. Collins is a solid backup. Huerter is a nice connecting role player. Clears 62 mil this summer and 5 mil would put them below the 2nd apron now.
    The Bulls get 3 more 23-25yr players that fit for run and gun. Jimmy comes back home and is a huge expiring contract next year. They could go on a run or tank.

    Smith Post TJD
    Matas Essenge
    Kuminga Okoro (Jimmy)
    Ayo White Terry
    Giddy Jones Carter

  12. warriors actually have a decent winning record in games kuminga has played so i’m tired of being told he doesn’t play winning ball. when curry scores 24 5 & 6 in a loss it’s somehow amazing winning ball when kuminga does it that’s empty calories in the playoffs despite the fact that jimmy didn’t want to shoot and brandin couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn

  13. Mike Loginoff.. THANK YOU. Someone with eyes had to finally say it. JK CAN rebound, he CAN defend. He CAN swing the ball. Problem is he doesnt do it consistently. The ball sticks to him, he forgets plays, and his intensity on the defensive end and on the glass is inconsistent. These kids seem to think they know what winning looks like better than a 9x ring holder in Kerr. Why is Kerr so stubborn? The last 16 games when we went 12-4 and JK didnt play a single minute is why. Kuminga can give you 20. You gonna lose more than half your games, but he'll give you 20 a night.

  14. Dude he was the last guy off the bench with half the roster hurt. FOH blaming him for any of that game. Just proves how badly Kerr wants to punish the kid he has him as the 12th man the other night.
