I’ll try it again. A guy who was with the Warriors for several years (not a rookie), couldn’t crack their 10 man rotation for a playoff game. And he was healthy. Impressed that you even attempted to spin that as a positive.

I think the warriors ran a showcase for kuminga when steph was out and both silently agreed to not play him so he wouldn't get hurt before a potential sign and trade.

You value Kuminga maybe more than most on this board.


This board just doesn't make sense sometimes. We had a huge discussion talking about needing guys that will step up in the playoffs. And yet we are rumored for a guy who just averaged 24pta in his last playoff series and that's a bad thing. Make that make sense man.

I forget who brought this up but it was a good point; there is only one ball and if we added Kuminga we have so many ball dominant players, it begs the question of how that possibly works.

Someone like Herb fits a role here that might be more useful.
But again. Getting a player like Kuminga is tempting.

Kuminga is a guy who lacks effort when he doesn’t get the ball. Not sure why we would want him. Especially if he wants 25+

So Podz and Kuminga for Herb, Hawkins, possibly Jose?
I’d be surprised if this happens. But I’d do it. I like Podz alot tho. Both durable players with solid offensive upside. Podz can shoot well from 3 and get boards. Both are still improving as players, only 22. Losing herb hurts but Jose and Hawkins are not durable and are too inconsistent for me.

We are stuck in a purgatoy where all of our assets get depleted or lose value. So trading Herb for someone with even more value would be a good move for the franchise. I really believe we are making moves that could lead to a Zion exit. But we should also have enough talent to make a run and stay competitive even with injuries. I think the defense aspect is a little overrated considering our stale offense also led to shitty transition defense. Good offense makes defense easier.

Not a harsh enough consequence.

Also I'm jk bunchie. This board would fall apart without you. You're a real pillar, care about the team and provide useful info all the time.

Also I can't ban anyone.

Sigh. I couldn't help myself and somehow just had to follow him. I'm pathetic, I know.

.

I’m guessing this wasn’t the reason he wasn’t played in a PLAYOFF game.

I'm already a big enough a-hole as it is, I don't want to get to those levels.

For real tho how is that a spin? Did he or did he not average 24pts that last series. Arguing that he didn't play doesn't support any actual data points. 0pts off 0min vs 24pts off 30min means only 1 of those can be used as a data sample.

You are an idiot.

Herb didn't even know how to shoot until 23-24 and still isn't as good as Kuminga already is. Kuminga has also increased his steals every season since his rookie year.
So, you make your judgment by reading a stat sheet instead of watching games? How does their defense and leadership translate?
