He was the perfect fit for the Warriors last season until he got injured. If he is healthy IDK why he wouldn't still be a great fit.


He's an absolute game changer and a great fit... when healthy. We saw it last year, we looked elite with him as our starting sg. We needed and relied on him. But like the story of his career, he got hurt.

If he takes the minimum? Why not. But I'm not expecting him to be healthy all year.

Things are moving so quickly; I can’t keep up. What big moves did I miss?

I find myself checking to see if we've made any moves multiple times a day only to see nothing has happened.

Kuminga might end up getting half of what was offered by us last year. His agent advising him is like when Rich Paul told Nerlens Noel to turn down a massive deal only to end up on a small prove it deal.

What's Shams' problem? Is he butt hurt that he can't get anywhere near the number of scoops Woj used to get? :lol:

Before his recent injuries he played 77 and 73 games in the prior two consecutive seasons. IDK that he is "injury prone." Steph Curry has had seasons where he's played 26, 51, 5, and 56 games. Missed 12 game last season.

Sorry if this was already mentioned above... Warriors linked to Kings FA stretch four Trey Lyles.

Also GPII, Malcolm Brogdon, and Chris Boucher.

Everything is waiting on Kuminga's situation to resolve, which seems to be hinging on meetings at the Vegas summer league this week and next.

Considering how quickly guys started signing deals at the beginning of free agency, is the NBA offseason basically on hold with this Kuminga situation?

The reason I am asking is that a number of teams have been speculating on a Kuminga sign and trade. Brooklyn, Washington, Chicago, Miami, Millwaukee, New Orleans, Portland, Sacramento. I am going to assume teams have put out offers which we or they have balked at. But considering the Warriors' situation, a number of teams might be hoping the Warriors fold.

Horford, while he may have a handshake deal with us, may also be wondering how the Kuminga situation plays out. If we were to not get some help in the form of a Kuminga trade, he may look at the Warriors as non-contenders and opt to retire or sign elsewhere. Horford is the top remaining free agent, so his potential retirement is holding up the market for other bigs.

Depending on where Horford signs might dictate which teams can offer guys like Beal in a buyout or Brogdon more lucrative deals. Both guys seem to be eyeing the Warriors MLE and a spot at SG, but probably only under the circumstances do they not sign and take that money. Beal and Brogdon seem to be the big remaining fish at guard, with Beal at the top. After those two guys, it's guys hoping to get some of the MLE, followed by minimum guys looking for a roster spot.

You have to think once this Kuminga domino falls, things will get rolling again.

Yup, kuminga will be the first domino to fall. But safe to say which way that domino will fall.

And BTW, I think they are down to just one suitor (kings) unless jk and his team can drum up some business during the summer leagues.

But, I'd guess he is back. No idea about the contract, but he'll be back.

Kings have this vibe, where they have made bunch of questionable trades in the past and now JK SnT is the one where they will get their major W and finess the crap put of warriors. “You guys have no leverage and just need to accept our poo poo plater”

Does Seth have anything left in the tank? It would be nice to have another shooter somewhere in the rotation.

Grimes put up some elite shooting numbers in the latter part of the season. Wants $25 million plus a year.

76ers just drafted Edgecomb. But they would probably not let him walk for nothing.

Grimes could be better in the GSW system than Podz or Moody.

Those Currys can shoot forever. I wouldn't mind him on a minimum.
