As far as mentality, Kuminga is iso player and it does throws the system out of flow and sync. Hopefully coaches figure it out and then front office sign-and-trade him for better fits in the summer.

Yeah, hopefully they can land a 35+yo under the rim player who can fit in with the roster.

25 year old like Mamukelashvili or Naz Reid.

Here's a question, do you think Kuminga is worth being the 3rd highest paid player on a contender next year or even in the near future? I sure don't.

GS has until the summer of 2027 to compete for a championship with Curry and then Curry, Butler and Draymond's contracts come off the books allowing GS's FO to do a huge reset, if they were to sign Kuminga for say 30 mil a year, that would hinder the size of that possible reset of the franchise in 2027.

The summer of 2027 GS would only have Moody (13mil), Hield (10 mil), Post (extended the previous year) and Santos (extended the previous year) under contract with Podz and TJD both being RFA with a low cap holds. GS is set up to try to contend for the next 3 playoffs then do a reset/rebuild with only the lingering salaries they want to move forward with. Unless GS is just missing one piece to be a top contender, I wouldn't trade any draft assets for this build, just get ready for the next buld.

The Warriors can opt out of the rest of Hield's contract in 2026 for $3mil (2026-27 cap charge) by the day of the 2026 NBA draft. It becomes fully guaranteed the day after the draft.

Or they can opt out of his final contract season in 2027 for $3.1mil (2027-28 cap charge) by the day of the 2027 NBA draft. It become fully guaranteed the day after the draft, assuming Hield didn't opt out himself.

Interesting that MDJ was able to configure a 2027-28 player option ($10.1mil) that the Warriors can get out of for $3.1mil by the 2027 draft.

This would make him tradable starting this offseason.

I guess I should have put that down.

2026-27: $3,000,000 guaranteed, fully guaranteed one day after 2026 NBA Draft
2027-28: Player Option (deadline 6/29/27), $3,136,364 guaranteed (if option exercised, fully guaranteed one day after 2027 NBA Draft

Yeah, it's a good tradable contract that someone can trade for to get out of long term salary early, no reason for GS to get out of it early.

Anyone being reasonable doesn't think so. This year his efficiency has regressed -- 53.5% TS, which is only .5% better than Draymond and without the defense. He provides some athleticism/attention Draymond doesn't, but his regression in efficiency is concerning.

His TS numbers by year:
1: 60%
2: 59.7%
3: 59.8%
4: 53.5%

I'm not totally sure what has happened this year, but the numbers were similar before Butler got here. Maybe he's been pressing for his contract, I don't know. But he's gone from an efficient scorer to an inefficient one, and his main plus has been as an efficient scorer. When he can't provide that, he's a clear negative. I can't see his offers being very good, and any S&T will be tough. Possible we just see him walk, or unfortunately we overpay him.

I'm rooting for him and want him to succeed, but it's been rough this year despite a short stretch of strong games before his injury. It seems like his best route for improvement is in a different system on a team that can give him a lot more minutes.

lets hope we make playoffs or this will always be the shame of Steve kerr's career
