He plays slow too. Always wants to dribble before making a decision.

latest from stein/fischer says a kuminga move doesn’t appear to be imminent + we’re expected to re-sign jones

-Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency is expected to be a slowing-moving process in Golden State. It did not appear, as of lunchtime Monday, that the Warriors or Kuminga's representation had a specific resolution in mind for the 22-year-old forward's immediate future.

While a return to the Warriors remains in play for Kuminga, sources say Miami, Chicago, Sacramento and New Orleans are among the teams looming as potential suitors by way of possible sign-and-trade scenarios. Golden State would be willing to help facilitate a move for Kuminga to join a new team, but only if such a transaction were to outweigh the benefits of keeping Kuminga on their roster.

-The strong expectation is that midseason acquisition Tre Jones will re-sign with Chicago.

Good and good.

KC said something similar about Tre, and we'll move Ayo. Not a huge fan of that.

nomorezorro · Post #248 » by **nomorezorro** » Mon Jun 30, 2025 7:28 pm

tre and ayo are the same age, there's a strong argument that we need a pure PG more than a combo guard, tre thrived in our uptempo offense, and i think tre's last two seasons are probably better than any single year ayo has had thus far. plus ayo is on the last year of his deal, and we could spin him off for another piece now as opposed to just letting tre walk for nothing

i like ayo, but if we can only keep one...

100% on Tre. I'll say that if we resign Tre (and keep Huerter, Giddey and Coby), I think it will be hard to find rotation minutes for Ayo. Backup PG goes to Tre and backup SG minutes will go to Huerter. That said, trading him for 2nds do nothing for me and I'd rather keep him...presumably his market value won't go up much under those circumstance, and if we could keep him cheap, he'd be decent insurance.

Wild. Ty Jerome is a stud. Figured he would be in the 15-20M range. What a steal this would be

yeah it's nuts how much he must have lost from games 2-5 of that pacers series

And Okoro too who'll be needing minutes at the 2/3 spot.

Oh yeah true...Okoro might be super redundant with Ayo.

It's still interesting that Tre was still a net negative and he mainly played as a direct sub to Giddey, meaning he played the most with the exact same lineup Giddey usually plays with and that lineup was all positive.

If this is all true then these teams should all lose their 2nd round draft picks just like the bulls did with Lonzo.

I simplistically had Okoro starting at the 3.

I thought Dalen Terry is a smarter player
