On the eve of the NBA trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors were the latest team to get involved in an already busy few days of movement around the association. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Warriors acquired former All-Star big man Kristaps Porzingis from the Atlanta Hawks in a blockbuster deal that included Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield.
Along with welcoming a new 7-foot-2 center to the rotation, the Warriors will close the book on Kuminga. Kuminga, selected No. 7 overall in the 2021 draft, spent five seasons with the Warriors, winning a championship in 2022. However, Kuminga’s recent run with the Warriors has been headlined by trade rumors, a trade request, a contract stalemate and DNPs. After a rocky road, Kuminga and the Warriors will go their separate ways, with the 23-year-old forward headed to join Jaylen Johnson in Atlanta.
Following the acquisition of Porzingis and trade of Kuminga, many across social media weighed in on the deal with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts had to say on social media on Wednesday evening.
