some utah insider made a good point on bay area sports radio yesterday … if utah want kuminga from GS then it would be up to them to extend kuminga and give him around 120-150M if not more. kuminga is a RFA next year and if they choose RFA, then they’d be forced to max whatever offer sheet he receives or else lose him for nothing. quigley and franz wagner’s contracts should set the market for kuminga. wonder if utah would prefer a cheaper player (moody) or somebody further away from a payday (podziemski). I don’t doubt that lacob would pay both kuminga and markannen should GS be able to land markannen while keeping kuminga. lacob has spent an average of 170M in luxury taxes alone the past 4 years and was rewarded with a title.

This is why, despite him being great, I will never think LeBron is the goat. He left his team, and the league allowed him to pioneer the player movement era. He has went to the build-a-bear factory for every single title he has. Then again, we cant have our 'chosen one' keep failing can we? Lebron to the Lakers (the most coddled franchise receiving the most coddled player) was a match made in heaven. Unfortunately for the league, the West only continued to get stronger. They for sure despised Steph for how the Warriors dominated, and you can tell by how all the older players like TMac and Isiah Thomas disrespect him. Honestly, Allen Iverson and Shaq are the only guys Ive seen give Steph his flowers. These teams noticed how well OKC and the Warriors built their teams and followed suit. Denver is home grown, the TWolves are home grown, OKC is home grown, Dallas drafted their best player, the Pelicans drafted their best player, the Grizzlies are home grown, the Suns were home grown until they got KD, the Clippers are just a troll franchise, the Kings drafted good players and signed good pieces. The Spurs just drafted the next generations icon. The West is a gauntlet for any team now, and cupcake James would never have the same success as he did in the East, even on the Lakers. Now the facade is fading and no one wants to join the toxic LeBron Lakers.

[@renzonogueiramargotto3141]

Good players wasn't our big problem, but the new small ball strategy where we have just one way of play: move the ball fast over 3pt line until open a good slot to play. Result: teams had no problem to understand what we were doing, start to defend our ball moving and the result of new small ball strategy was: move the ball fast over 3pt line until a turnover or a contested shot with no one to grab offensive rebound. Markkanem will solve this problem? No way! Only Kerr can do it, bring back our pick and roll as strategy to balance the small ball, giving to defenders the option to double on Curry and let one of our players, like Hield to do one uncontested shot, or TJD to pick and roll and attack the basket free. The same old problem they had in 2014-2015-2016: if we keep an eye on pick and roll, Curry will fire us from any place of the court with single guard. If we double up over Curry, they will have 4 good players against our 3 left one to create an uncontested shoot or pick and roll. And we can do this with our actual roster, even if we move Wiggins out to lower luxury taxes.

I’m trading Kuminga for Lauri Markkanen, I love Kuminga but Lauri is more refined, Kuminga still has a lot to learn but he will absolutely become a superstar. Think about it, If both players were not in our team and we had to bring one of them in, who would you choose? Are you choosing the athletic 7 footer who shoots well and has more experienced, or are you choosing a 6’7 player with potential but is still in his raw phase? I think we’re just attached to Kuminga because he’s homegrown but Lauri is our best bet if we want to give Steph a championship ASAP.

[@markriva4259]

We're salivating...

[@cksspb815]

Think GSWs are unlikely to obtain LM, mainly because Danny Ainge is difficult to deal with and will demand an unreasonable ransom for LM. Doubt LM is going anywhere. The Spurs have enough to get him, but again they're business smarts won't allow meeting Ainge's price. BTW - did you see what the New York Kicks gave up for Mikal Bridges .... Bojan Bodganovic, four unprotected first-round picks, a 2025 protected first-round pick, a pick swap and two second-round picks. Insanity - but it resets the market. I'd take Markkanen any day over Bridges. Markkanen is definitely better and Ainge knows this. What do you think Ainge is going to demand after seeing this market? Even if GSWs somehow manage to convince Danny Ainge to remove the pole stuck in his ass, it is hard to imagine a trade for LM that won't require Kuminga. The idea of having Kuminga and Markkanen is a pipe dream. GSWs don't have a chest full of draft pics or other desirable resources. GSW shouldn't give up Kuminga and Podz (one or the other). Podz had the best +/- on the entire team last year. He really is a foundational pillar with a high basketball IQ who makes others better. Not sure what the exact math is but have a concern that a GSWs trade for LM would deplete the team so much that what is left isn't much better than what we have now. Hope I'm wrong, but again seems highly unlikely Ainge trades LM to begin with.

[@jasonlewis9240]

I say trade kuminga for LM. Take chances MD.

[@cnelsonlv99]

I'd say the only way the Warriors should do it if the trade is Wiggins, Moody, Podz and draft picks, although not sure how many picks it would take. I suspect the Jazz will insist on JK, though, and in that case I'm not sure it's worth it.

[@PrimordialBeing360]

Facts it shouldn’t even be a question.

[@goldenphoenix5945]

Kuminga isn't going to help us win with Curry and Kuminga is our ONLY young star with all-star potential... we also don't have the most draft picks so our future with Kuminga is wasting Steph's last years and then being mid to bad... you need more than 1 player to rebuild... Kuminga is not eclipsing the likes of Curry and our winning chances with him so don't even mention thinking of the Warriors future unless you plan on trading Curry for young assets... btw, that will get the chase center burnt down by Warrior fans... If you do nothing ... you have no present or future. Kuminga is likely our best young asset for a young rebuilding jazz team. Wiggins, if he can get back to his 2022 form is a better fit than Kuminga for the Warriors alongside Draymond and Lauri since he's a better defender and great 3rd scoring option who also seems to be a more reliable floor spacer. If the Jazz prefer a 29 yr old Wiggins to a 21 yr old Kuminga... I'm still making that trade but I'd prefer trading Kuminga so long as I trust Wiggins to get back to form.

[@cnelsonlv99]

@@goldenphoenix5945 When you said "Wiggins is a better fit than Kuminga" I turned you off! Wiggins is bull$hit, and he'll never get back to what he did for a short period of time in the 2022 playoff run. He's one of the softest players I've seen in the NBA, and I've been watching for 45 years. Guys like Wiggins are dime-a-dozen... guys like Kuminga definitely are not! There's a reason teams want JK, and don't care about Wiggins.

[@goldenphoenix5945]

@@cnelsonlv99 ​Obviously Kuminga has a higher ceiling and he's 21 instead of 29 so that's why teams want him over Wiggins. For such a soft player, he's a hell of a defender and puts down some great dunks every so often. I don't see why he can't get back to his 2022 form since he's only 29 and would be our third scoring option with Curry demanding all the attention. Either way, so long as we keep either Wiggins or Kuminga in a Lauri trade I'm happy. Also getting a Walker Kessler, Robert Williams lll, Mitchel Robinson, or Jarret Allen would be amazing.

[@cnelsonlv99]

@@goldenphoenix5945 Sounds like you haven't watched Wiggins play basketball since the 2022 playoffs, based on your assessment. He's as soft as a marshmallow, especially in terms of his mental toughness. The Warriors should trade him for anything they can get. I said that same thing about Jordan Poole last year. The worst thing the Warriors ever did was giving those two huge contracts after the title run. Wiggins' contract was somewhat justified based on what he did that season, and his decline seems to be connected to personal issues... which is proof that he's weak as f*ck! Poole's contract was never justified!

[@alasdairmacdonald9838]

Even if they get Lauri and the package is mostly picks rather than JK they still can't pay everyone and it still doesn't make them a contender. They will be demonstrably better than last season but still a long way from actually contending. The biggest thing that needs to happen is a refreshing of the coaching philosophy. Small ball with Dray playing mostly centre has proven to be ineffective for years and years now. Especially defensively they need to pull their head out of the sand and actually realise how much the league has changed. Not only has the switch heavy defence they once employed been copied and then solved and exposed by the rest of the league for it's weaknesses they don't even have the same personnel anymore to try and implement it. Personally I'm just happy that they begun to accept reality and cut the damn payroll down to something more sustainable especially for a team that very well may not make the playoffs again. We saw last season how quickly Steph wore down playing in midget lineups constantly having to guard bigger players and with almost no consistent help offensively. Do we really think him being a year old and coming off playing in the Olympics is going to lead to a better or worse season than that? They made some very smart marginal moves so the games should at least be more entertaining and closer to competent basketball but actual contention seems like a Pipe dream to me.

Secondly, the Jazz aren't going to trade Lauri for JK straight up... they will still ask for more to be added. So yea... it's a valid concern.
