[Shelburne] The Golden State Warriors never offered Jonathan Kuminga in any trade packages for All-Star Paul George. The Warriors offered multiple combinations of expiring contracts, young guys and a draft pick or two.

Why are we getting so many conflicting reports on this? lol
Clippers would have been silly to deny a trade that included JK. Kawakami is bullshit.
The only sources for Kuminga being included in trades are other teams
Our ownership is so wack . Lauri has no chance hell to btw.
I feel like there’s been way too many opposing reports on this topic, I would’ve thrown Kuminga in though
Further cementing the fact that kuminga is viewed as the future. Which likely means he isn’t on the table for Lauri either. Which makes that trade even more unrealistic.
Kawakami is a journalist who is not a Warriors ‘fan’ or anything. Gets spotlight because of Slater, writes these articles on Athletic which make no sense and are somewhat detrimental to the chemistry of this team. Hope JK and rest of young guys stay away from outside noise.
Sure
I got blocked by TK for saying The Warriors never offered Kuminga and that what he wrote is actually conflict of interest since he appears to be on Lacobs payroll.
This just reinforces that idea
who do they think kuminga is?
Even if they did, they didn’t. Lol
If you listen to TK, it’s really your own fault.
Good to know they’re not insane.Â
You look at per 36 numbers last year and JK was already just as productive as George. He’s 12 years younger and costs way less. No brainer
That’s a big gamble that is 100% not going to workout; Warriors still an 11th seed.
If i need a guy to compliment Steph, I’m trading Kuminga for Paul George all day.
Who else is going to score for the Warriors? Podz?
I knew it! Lacob does this thing where he fakes like he’s trying to get us help to contend.
Jk is not that good. This is ridiculous and so disrespectful to Stephs final good years.
JK is closer to a rj barrett tier dude than anything else. Not a max player and certainly not a Paul George tier player.
Dumb move imo
In my opinion, this is the make or break season for JK. If he doesn’t assume the 2nd scoring role and doesn’t look dominant at his position then the Warriors have to trade him because he would have revealed his ceiling and that’s not what the Warriors need for the future
They let PG walk for nothing. They were never trading him to the Warriors.
Sell all the picks and get Lauri but somehow keep Kuminga and Dunleavy will be GM of the year.
Love to hear that, especially in a trade where the Clippers have little to no leverage. At worse, it’s a lose lose if it didn’t get done and the wretched, perennial loser franchise chose the losing option of course.
I also really hope Jk ain’t included in any Lauri trade as it’s the only hope of softening the loss of all our future picks. Some proposals that include Podz, TJD, JK, Moody and picks are just silly and Lauri without any of those guys on the roster doesn’t move the needle for us at all. I’d argue a sum of their parts is worth more than what Lauri gives us alone.
I’d gladly give every single last one of the picks up to keep JK. All the 3 unprotected firsts, another 3 unprotected swaps and 4 seconds should be substantial enough imo. Apparently the market for Lauri ain’t as hot as we all assumed. People comparing him to Mikal are also ignoring reports that Utah are actually looking to trade him to properly commit to the Cooper Flagg tank race. Nets absolutely didn’t want to trade Mikal till they got assurance in a separate deal with Rockets to get their own picks back & NY is also a cross city rival they’ve not traded with in 50 years! Our only real competition left for him is Spurs I think and I don’t think Ainge would fancy their picks above ours (potential to be lucrative especially the post Steph years ones) even if they offer 1-2 more extra picks.
I’d propose a Moody, GP2, Loon trade and all the picks for Lauri. Not sure if Danny Ainge would bite but it’s definitely a decent package imo, or maybe it’s just delusional copium. Lmao.
An all wing (bar Steph) line up of Steph, Wiggs, JK, Dray & Lauri intrigues me so much.
I would’ve been sick. Kuminga is better than pg
Makes sense.Paul George walked away for nothing.Why does every team think they can just rip off the warriors.
Reporters making up shit everyday
Warriors local media are a bunch of liars whose only purpose is to carry water for Joe Lacob.
It would be so stupid if the front office doesn’t offer Kuminga for Lauri.
What a blunder from the Warriors to consider Kuminga some untouchable prospect. George was their last chance to do right by Curry in terms of restarting on the path toward contention and they threw it away so Lacob didn’t have to come to grips with his two timeline project being an abject failure. Can’t wait for Kuminga to get the max rookie extension and instantly become overpaid, shit sounds like a great time out.
i get some of you hate on the local reporters but ramona shelburne is a LA based reporter which is besties with jeanie buss…
I.E ….moody
Yeah, cuz Steph is finally teaching him how to shoot. I swear for a guy who made as many as he did his shot mechanics show much room for improvement.
