If you hate your boss, money means nothing. I left my job with a bad boss, and I work on myself, not somebody's goal... my life became so much happier.

Congrats! I did the same. Thus far, best decision ever.

Then you should know how JK feels.

I feel for him and Moody. They get jerk around only to see a white kid (and a few other whites kids of past years) not get punished for making similar mistakes.

Maybe the best-case scenario is a third team popping up as a Kuminga trade target in the closing days.

Yeah but you didn't leave millions of dollars on the table now did you?

Podz is way better than Kuminga.

If Kuminga was a good player he'd have more leverage and more teams offering him contracts. His main leverage is the Warriors need a salary slot to trade.

Did you not see Podz shoot 3s at the teens percentage at the beginning of the season? He was unplayable. He never got benched. That is double standard. Because he never got benched and got playing time, he got better... oh my... what a concept.

Was he playing the role the coach asked him to play because that's how you get to play though your mistakes/bad stats(for a while at least).

JK and Moody never got a leash Podz got even when coach asked of them. Moody in many cases got hot saved the game from Podz and team sucking, did nothing wrong (actually did great on D)... get yanked, and not returned the rest of the game. Never see Podz get treated like that.

I am generally on the side of the player in these things, and Kerr has been notorious for his poor management of young players.

But he and his agent seem to think he is the next LeBron James as I have said, for which there is zero evidence, and what is wrong with playing a team game game plan in a team sport ?. The very top players can get away with forcing moves but he has never demonstrated he is in that category. I do think he has had some bad luck with injuries as well.

Podz started the season shooting poorly but he does so much else to help the team that Kuminga doesn't do. Maybe this comes down to what you want in a player but in my book Kuminga is a very limited player who does not help team concepts, and he should be gone ASAP.

Maybe I'm wrong but when Warriors were trying to make a big trade prior to acquiring Jimmy Butler it was PODZ teams wanted, not Kuminga. Some food for thought for you...

Miami actually wanted JK and not Wiggs the 1st attempt to get Jimmy. Only to have MDJ saying JK is not available. :banghead:

If there is zero evidence, why do you think Jk and his agent think hes the next lebron? What evidence are you looking at to determine he or his agent thinks that? Was there an interview i missed?

If veteran organized team activities are so important, why havent we heard about all the vet organized mini camps Steph and Dummy organized in the previous years. Those wouldve been so valuable in recent years.

I like JK and I wish him far away from this team and the majority of its fans.

Oh yeah, they wanted Wiggs AND Kuminga, because why not? But Kuminga obviously wasn't a deal-breaker, was he?

If Miami wants to trade back Wiggs for Kuminga obviously Warriors should do that!

Nor was podz. Not sure what point you are fishing for.
