Warriors exploring S&T for Kuminga

[Crazy-Canuck]

Kuminga has been terrible. He's not gonna get a contract extension like this.

Lacob: hold my beer as he whispers to kuminga "steph, jimmy, and dray contracts expire soon".

Highlights from his good stretch last season.

These are all plays where he scored. So none are "bad plays". Some look repeatable. Others seem clunky and awkward, things that you can't rely on. The question is, which style does JK want to play?

[Onus]

TBH I'm not too worried about JK's offense. He's going to get easier shots once Curry is back in the lineup. He's settling a bit more but there's not as much space to drive. He's still passing the ball and trying to take advantage of matchups. He's still rebounding well. It's just his defense. Like since he's not a good defender and he's struggling offensively there's just no reason for him to get minutes or to play through his struggles, especially when we have better defenders who can spread the floor.

5 days ago, everyone loved JK and thought he had turned the corner. 2 bad games later, let's trade him for cap relief or cut him to sign Jock f'ing Londale. This board gives the word "reactionary" new meaning.

I'll just keep reiterating that while they've played 11 games and have been on ~20 flights over the 2.5 weeks of the nba season, the NYK, for instance, have played 9 games, took a TOTAL of 4 flights, and had 1 back to back while the dubs are about to play their 4th.

JK looked completely worn down the last two games, no lift on his 3, no explosion at the rim, and mentally drained. He's also leading the team in total minutes played while spending most of his time as the POA, leading the team in rebounds, and having to score in a ton of lineups that don't have Steph. I doubt he has a bounce back game today but I'm hopeful tomorrow or the 2nd Spurs game, he can get his mojo back.

They need to start resting him and podz like we do the vets or we may start seeing injuries creep in on this roadtrip.

I think what we have here in the beginning part of this season is the thing where Kerr forces everyone to see how bad something is before he makes a change that everyone agrees with. And by "everyone" I mean Joe Lacob.

He did the Kuminga experiment. It is failing and Kerr will make a switch. The lineup that went on a run last year is the obvious first move. But Kerry might have pull a double whammy out of his pants and replace Podz with Richard.

i say sit him for the rest of the season and try again next year

Please trade Kuminga. His questionable talent level is not helping the team. No way to know what he's going to be contributing game to game.

Can’t be traded until Jan 15.

[Twinkie defense]

JK looked completely worn down the last two games... They need to start resting him

Only 12 games into the season! He's 23 years old!

I know. I'm placing my pre-order for it.

When Draymond says, "Players can't have individual agendas", does ANYONE think he's not saying it about Kuminga?

Either way, Kuminga is out...either as the scape goat or he just doesn't know how to naturally play in a non-ball dominant system.

Too bad we can't swap Kuminga, Moody and Podz for King's Monk and Sabonis.

What if Jimmy and dray are talking about each other

Heat fans said this is how it began with Jimmy.

Passive offense.
Just trying to play connector and turning away shots to pass the ball.
Pick and choose "his guys" in the lockerroom.
Use the media to his advantage.
Create a divide

If he takes a 1 footed 3 pt shot in the near future, it'll be exactly how everything played out in Miami.

Look at how much they've travelled, how many games they've played, and who's leading the team in minutes. I'm surprised these guys know what time it is and where they are on any given day.

Now take a look at our first 17 games vs our schedule in Jan. I believe the team has 6 flights the entire month of January vs the ~flights they'll have in the first month of the season.

Never underestimate the need to sleep of Generation Z. If ever there was a generation made for being placed into a cryogenic sleep state for deep space exploration, it's Generation Z. They are our future.

I would love to see your generation, at any age, perform well after travelling for a month straight and being in the same city for two days in a row just once.

Not sure why you decided to go full-on crusty, angry, boomer at some point this summer but I, for one, would like the old "old_blue" back.

I complimented an entire generation. What's your malfunction?

If anyone on this board can look at this lineup data and tell me why JK is the reason we're losing games or why our defense sucks or our offense is dogs#!%, I'll be very curious.
