  3. Warriors front office is dumb because they didnt develop their young guys because they chose Draymond’s system over them. At the end of the day, theyre gonna get rid of Dray anyways and have no future ready.

  4. Joe Lacob finally completing the rebuild he started in 2019 while throwing Steph under the bus. Lacob must be taking a page out of Kraus after the bulls won their 6th championship

  6. How blind and or stupid do you have to be to know that Kuminga was never the guy. Joe Lacob needs to stfu and let people do their jobs. The Warriors have missed soooooo many opportunities over the years.

  7. yeah I cant stand people acting like this is anything but hte front office trying to move on from steph. they kept kicking the can down the road with kuminga and hoarding picks until whoops we want to pivot off steph! genuine malpractice and insane how the tone changed from reporters saying they owed it to stpeh to try and do something to after.

    I think the problem also with bomtemps take of "you get older and things come to an end" is that hes leaving out that steph is still playing at a top 10 level. how many teams try to move off a player whos at a top 10 level?

  8. It is completely stupid to try to defend Kerr's f**k ups. But it sounds like this guy can't wait to see JK fail. What a stupid thing to say that JK wasn't good enough to earn the trust of Kerr. JK never got the chance to show his skills. I hope they fire Kerr and Mike D soon.

  9. the 2 timeline never happened because of kerr..how can it succeed if you dont develop younger players.. do you think all the other teams younger players that did good wouldve been the same under kerr? no.. because kerr would rather you be a suupport to curry than be your own player.. i know curry is the 1st option but no one can be at their best when everyone knows when you dont go to curry first then youre getting benched.. thats why most of the younger players that thrived are the ones playing with a team with no superstar like curry..

  11. Obviously this people have been making a living out of talking about JK and still are talking about him after he was traded. Let's not forget Kerr told Ant-Man that he wasn't good enough to be drafted by GSW. During the Olympics he said he couldn't find enough minutes for JT. But Bonetemps talks about Kerr as if he's JC. Kerr ruined all the drafts they ever had except Podz. So stop talking as if Kerr isn't the problem. I wish JK all the best and I hope they fire Kerr soon.

  12. Here's my question about Kuminga: if he was "virtually untouchable" after his third year, playing that season as the high-volume scorer some people seem to be so convinced he can't be, why was he, at minimum, not afforded the opportunity to continue that momentum the following season? What was the justification for the coach essentially ignoring Kuminga's best season and making him start from square one the next year?

  14. they should of traded him when he punched poole. father time has gotten to Draymond the worst out of steph, klay and him. klay had 2 career ending injures… whats draymonds excuse? a 39 year old Al
    is a way better nba player now in every area than draymond. like his court vision isnt as good. his passing/reflexes arent as good. his jump height isnt as good. honestly he didnt keep himself in the best shape of his life. curry and lebron fought father time with how well their conditioning is. their probably in the best shape of their lives…. draymond is not that. he needs to be because his value was his energy and effort. Gui is now what draymond used to be. high energy. can rebound. can pass. can shoot a 3. can drive to the basket. i wish draymond put as much effort into his conditioning as he does complaining to the refs or getting into it with other players.

  15. bro youre so annoying. how dare you sit there and act like you know what you're talking about regarding JK. you can never justify dnp 16 straight games. stfu

  17. Slater calls Kuminga's DNPs "inexplicable" and ignores his awful performance that caused those DNPs, From Nov. 5 to Jan. 19 in 204 minutes Kuminga had team worsts by far in Effective FG% (36.6 – 8 points worse than any other Warrior, 18 points below NBA avg.), TS% (39.4 – 9 points worse than any other Warrior, 19 points below NBA avg.), assist-to-turnover ratio (0.91), steal% (0.00), net rating (-11.8)

  23. Face it Kuminga did not turn out to be the kind of player they thought he could become – Dubs expected him to eventually succeed Draymond and become an offensive and defensive juggernaut.

  24. It’s so fitting that they tried to trade Kuminga for Giannis and in the end they didn’t get Giannis. To me that sealed the fate that they won’t win again. Kuminga didn’t fit because he refused to be role player which I have to respect. I’ve watched him play enough to know he’s more than that. Kerr knew he was more than that but tries to protect Curry’s ego. Ego is a hell of a drug. And it probably cost you another ring. KD and Poole are examples of Curry’s ego behind the scenes smh

  28. Draymond had to go the second he decided to give 10% of his money to a guy that disrespected him and cost him a championship in 2016, furthermore the instant he punched a teammate,he is fat wreckless and a delusional turnover machine, he must go.

  29. Bontemps is obviously correct that it's not up to the player to demand a bigger role. His Butler comparison is very apt. Butler didn't average 10+ FGA per 36 minutes or have a usage rate above 17% until his 4th season. JK averaged 14.0 & 22.7%, respectively, as a rookie. Year 3-5 he was top 2 or 3 on team in both categories. Last season, despite horrendous scoring efficiency (49.5 eFG%, 53.5 TS%, rivaling Dray's 50.4% & 53.4%), he averaged 17.9 FGA per 36 min. (only 2.2 behind Curry) and a 27.3% usage rate, insanely only 1.8 below Curry and 6.8 above Butler. This season he initially drastically reduced his FGA & usage rate, and his performance massively improved, but very quickly he regressed back to ball hogging, forcing many bad shots. In the 4-5 games before losing his starting job, his turnover rate was a horrific 4.7 per 36 min. and his mid-range FGA increased 580%, yet Slater at the time said Kerr was "pulling the rug out from under" Kuminga by demoting him.

    Kuminga was free to be offended by Kerr not saying he's a star and not giving him that role, but his job was to play the role he was given and he frequently refused to do that. Despite never even coming close to Butler's level, JK's career FGA per 36 min. and usage rate are both above Butler's career averages. He could've learned a lot from Butler, but instead he kept trying to emulate his idol, Kobe.
