  1. Swipa can be so dense at times. The Warriors were still trying to compete for chips early in his career so Kerr wasn’t and still isn’t worried about developing those young guys.

  2. STEVE (TDS) KERR NEVER INCORPORATED JK INTO 5HE Offense. Kerr made room for Jimmy, Made room for Horford this year!!!! Kerr is a psycho. He plays Podziemski 30 mins a game, And Podz sucks. Stop you Nonsense…..JK was top rebounder and 3rd leading scorer and got benched!!! And Steve Kerr says he wants to win!!! Bottom line the Warriors are no Irrelevent!!!! He tried this year to fit in, He was, Kerr benched him after 13 games. Kerr is messed up in the head

  3. Currys lacks of leadership wasted kumingas development and early seasons. If this was a LeBron team he would get all the blame for kuminga not playing as much it was a story long enough. When curry and Kerr let draymond do whatever. Seriously curry hasent made anyone better ever and kuminga isn’t meant to run curry screen system

  4. The dude in the red hat is ridiculous. Kerr is/was the problem. It is not because he could not play!! Red Hat has no clue! Podziemski is a G-League player and makes a TON of mistakes, yet Kerr gives him a leash a mile long. Kuminga was never the problem. He Is A Scorer! He came with talent to a coach who is only a manager. Not a coach. Kuminga will be a Star. Trust me.

  5. The Warriors shoulda knew the 2022 chip was due to curry goin god mode. After Wiseman was a bust and Draymond punching Poole and them making the MISTAKE of getting rid of a self creating guard for the future; Plus Draymond got worse offensively (worse than he already was) and Kerr not knowing how to coach fr, how was he supposed to develop. Kuminga was between a shoulda been dead already dynasty and an aborted future. Good luck to him on the Hawks

  6. How come whenever jk plays well its always someone else responsible for unlocking him, im sick of these underhanded compliments and narratives. Jk is a good player and will be a star mark my words

  7. Swipa is just making shit up lol. Bro just look at what he did in the playoffs last year. "He couldn't score" lol dude is trippin

  8. Have u ever worked for a boss that didn't like u or even worse hated u? Then u will understand the dynamics in GS.

    Kerr didn't' want him as the 7th pick for GS.

    JK went over kerrs head, to lacob to ask to be put in, so kerr had to put him in back in Oct 22, 2021. kerr couldn't except that, ever since then, the hate was in place and kerr would pull JK as soon as he had a bad game. It's disgusting how kerr had ruined JK's last 5 yrs.

    The PC narrative is he didn't fit the system, that's a joke, because how can u when the couch doesn't like u and will do anything so u don't play. Who does JK play the most like, Jimmy Butler, so if JB can fit so could JK. Toxic relationship all around, thanks to kerr.

  9. Warriors aren't even that good of a team. Calling warriors a championship contender is a joke. They are not a contender because they didn't know how to use kuminga. The whole team plays like garbage and we single out kuminga. This team can barely make the play in 2 years in a row. Fools thinking warriors are actually good is the problem. The warriors are so far from winning a championship. What a joke😮😂😂😂

  10. Also, the Stanford University reference is not an equivalent comparison. Players are drafted into the NBA. The players do NOT pick their teams. Stop blaming JK for Kerr's ineptitude. Virtually no former players who played for him speak highly of him. If the GSW were smart, they would have hired a coach who would have incorporated their young players into a system that would have allowed Curry to not have to play Hero-Ball at 38 years of age. Kuminga will be a star, despite this sad ass commentary. People who have watched him already know. Catch up, clowns. We'll be here to welcome you

  11. Swipa way off lol. Kuminga was the second best player on the warriors and could have been an all star if they played him all season but Kerr is inept.

    Swipa "Thay gave him opportunities to play basketball and he sucked at it" LOL 20+ points per game in last year's WCF. He's not a roleplayer he is a second option Ker wanted him to spot up and shoot threes because that's "warriors basketball" the guy is an elite slasher. He should've flourished with a player like Curry but instead they tried to make him a player he wasn't meanwhile Butt-ler can sit out there doing w/e he wants.

  12. Red hat bootlicker talking about what JK CANT do lolol mf dont even watch the games he's shown what he can do already buddy is the blk tim kawakami. Just cappin lol.

  13. Panel needs to do some digging into the warriors front office decisions the last half decade one of the most miss managed organizations from a talent perspective in the NBA

    • Kept Klay on a loyalty deal longer than needed

    • Drafted Wiseman whose one of the biggest bust in recent drafts as well as held on to picks instead of trading for a better player

    • keeping draymond who is currently almost unplayable right now

    • the entire Poole situation

    • losing Ryan Rollins for nothing

    • holding on to kuminga instead of trading him earlier for a better return to settle on a porzingis cap dump

    • Going out and getting a older over paid jimmy butler

  14. I thought they said gs was the place for ppl to become great in Curry system. I knew that was always bs. Gs is the luckiest winning rings in history

  15. At the start of the season, JK plays the role assigned to him and performs well; however, when the team begins to lose due to the poor scheduling of the league and the inability of many roster players to participate in back-to-back games, Kerr quickly blames JK and switches back to his Minions lineup.

  16. Stop the cap, we saw what Kuminga could do couple years ago when Steph was out. Fartiours are averse to having real centers and they wanted him to sacrifice his body grappling for rebound and serve it Curry. Eff your teamwork son..

  17. Red hat guy doesn't get it. You can't use a driver to putt or chip. Kuminga is not Shaun Marion. He wasn't happy in the dunkers spot. That was a poor use of his talent. So he wanted out. It's a pity he didn't get out sooner

  18. The problem was Kerr didnt allow Kuminga to make mistakes. He wanted him to do all the little things, he wanted him to buy in to the role of being a piece to be used to elevate curry. What did KD say? "If you dont screen or pass up shots for steph u get waived" which is how every player besides steph and butler are treated on that team lmao. Kuminga tries to create his own shots and doesnt succeed, benched. Kuminga doesnt make the right play, benched. Kuminga fails on the defensive end, benched. Kerr was stunting his growth and killing his confidence, every time he touched the floor he was scared of getting benched which resulted in him becoming docile rather than be assertive on the offensive end. Kerr was the problem not Kuminga. Kuminga is 23 years old!

    Now granted, Warriors have been trying to get back to the top for the past 4 years now so everything has been about playing championship basketball, Kerr didnt think Kuminga was at that level yet which is why he always benched him. We saw in that Minnesota series last years just how much talent Kuminga has, he just hasnt honed it yet. Kuminga needs minutes and experience. He was never going to develop well on the warriors while Curry and Draymond and Kerr so desperately try to climb back to the top, which sadly probably wont happen.

  19. Is swiper fuckin delusional??? He said kuminga wasnt consistent neither was his minutes and not to mention can you tell me who on the warriors besides steph is consistent? Cuz podz was getting 35 mins a night just doin cardio SMFH muh fuckah avgs 4 points a game and provides NOTHING for the team yet was starting over kuminga. Get swiper OFF THE FUCKIN SHOW

  20. the dude with the red hat dont know what he is talking about… Kuminga is gonna get a deal with the hawks long term after his contract is up unless something goes horribly wrong. He is not a trade piece unless its Giannis (Maybe) but he is the player the Hawks needed…
