    Fml man… I would hate for Kuminga to request a trade. Kerr’s coaching has been so bad this season. I hate that I want him gone so that we can salvage this situation with our young guys.

  2. Fucking trade Wiggins and free this man. Ridiculous

  3. doomnutz

    dont blame him or moody at this point. kerr has to be held accountable

  4. imnoobatfifa

    Jokic broke them. Warriors should be sticking with Kuminga over this one… (they won’t)

    Looking at all the wasted picks, shame they haven’t been traded for a star player jn 2019 or 2020. Hindsight, though.

    THIS SHITS ON YOU KERR, HOW WE GON PLAY THE PISTONS NOW

  6. Not a lot of specific details but here’s the only important part in the paywalled article:

    > After sitting for the final 18 minutes of Thursday night’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has lost faith in coach Steve Kerr, and the 2021 lottery pick no longer believes Kerr will allow him to reach his full potential, sources close to Kuminga tell The Athletic, adding another layer of turbulence to an already complex Warriors season.

    >ā€œ(Thursday night) was the straw that broke the camel’s back,ā€ one of the sources said.

    Last night was the first time I actually started to believe Kerr was sabotaging this team. Kuminga was arguably the best all around player the first half to getting a dnp in the 4th. This is asinine.

  8. georgedavidrs

    I mean… is anyone surprised? This was coming.. Moody next likely

  9. Analyticsman24

    Knew immediately after Joker hit the shot Kuminga stormed off the court. He’s in a contract year Rui had the same attitude last year forced his way out of Washington for huge pay day. I know people like to shit on Poole but we really took for granted he was ok with the benching and Kerr chicanery

  10. untouchable765

    Kuminga as a starter on any other team is 20PPG player so I can’t blame him.

  11. bigricebag

    ā€˜Twas fun. Go become an all star w moody and win a ring elsewhere.

    Fucking pain.

  12. AbWarriorG

    We are spiraling. Trading him now would also send the wrong message to Podz & TJD. It means we’re riding the core to retirement and nobody else has a shot as long as the vets are here.

  13. Restless213

    Young talent will avoid this team like the plague for at least a decade

  14. tapatino

    Dunleavy please save us bruh. I’d be floored if we lost JK

  15. trianglesaurus

    Understandable. We’re destroying our present and future with the way Kerr is handling the team right now

  16. randyC59

    Right on cue, no one should be surprised by this after the blasphemy we all witnessed on National TV against the reigning champs last night in the 2nd half, no one can defend that shit

  17. Woopdie doo a cancerous lockerroom to finish off this era. No wonder Lacob stays away these days because Kerr lives in 2016

  18. Good. I’ll stand by this dude no matter what happens. Whether he becomes a star or not he and Moody deserve the opportunity to play and figure that out for themselves.

    A trade is looking imminent but I’d rather trade the veterans and move forward into a new era of Warrior’s basketball. Fuck Steve Kerr.

  19. humlogic

    Seasons a wrap fellas. Didn’t have to be this way.

  20. Restless213

    The funny part is this team has tricked people into thinking it’s either Wiggins or Kuminga. WHY ARE THEY PLAYING 3 SMALL GUARDS 90+ MINUTES A GAME

  21. CarryOnUptheMorning

    Kerr has mismanaged him from the start. Not playing him consistently last season and following it up with the bs this season. I don’t blame Kuminga for speaking out and being done with it.

  22. Lowbloodsugar_exe

    Can’t really blame him for feeling this way. If the Vets have balling out all year then yeah, JK could stfu.

    But they’re not and the way he just gets yanked out of lineups has just been ridiculous

  23. Dar8_Vader

    The only hope we have and now it’s gonna get shattered. FO, knock some sense into Kerr coz we want our all 4 young guns here. They are the pieces that stitch the old arse lineup together. I’ll follow them to the end. Fuck our old vets, fk em all(except Curry).

  24. J0nnyGreenGiant

    Wiseman, Poole, JK with Moody to follow. Kerr will have forced out what was supposed be our future. It’s absolutely criminal what Kerr has done with this team.

  25. DatBoiLight21

    When is the ā€œFire Kerrā€ movement actually going to gain more serious momentum? His incompetence to hold players and himself accountable needs to be questioned now more than ever

  26. imminentjogger5

    great job Kerr. Now we’ve gone from two timelines to no timelines. Also what the fuck does Kenny Atkinson do? is he just Kerr’s yes man? where is the dissenting voice on the staff?

  27. AMS_GoGo

    Can we get the message out that we as fans all agree with him

  28. olemothahubbard

    I wonder how much of the lineup decisions are a reflection of Steph’s wants? Sure, he’s not the coach and doesn’t make in-game decisions. But I’ve got to believe that if he made it a point to the coaching staff that he wants the best players playing above all else, we would see that. If Steph calls for it, Moody would be playing.

    I’m starting to think both STEVE & STEPH have an attachment to the vets that get the younger guys on the short end of the stick. They both would rather roll with the ā€œprovenā€ guys that they won a championship with than to give the young guys a chance. B Podz and TJD are performing so well it’s hard to ignore, but given the chance the leaders of this team would glue them to the bench in a minute.

    When people say Steph would rather ride it out with his guys than shake things up for another chance at winning…it’s getting harder and harder to disagree.

    (I’m the biggest Steph fan, but just calling it as I see it)

  29. JMagician

    Kuminga is completely right. Sensible fans have also lost faith in Steve Kerr.

    Kerr’s favoritism of the vets has been really sabotaging the teams the last few seasons but this year it’s gone to another level. Started in 2021-2022 when he kept playing Damion Lee over Kuminga and Moody despite him not being effective at all after the month of December, fortunately the rest of the team was good enough to where it didn’t really have a huge impact. Next year it escalated with him playing the rapist Lamb over Kuminga despite Lamb not even being a legit NBA caliber player. This season it’s escalated to him costing this team multiple wins because he keeps giving Klay and Looney more playing time then they deserve and him just refusing to hold Draymond accountable for any of his actions until the league had to step in. Kerr might have unlocked the team back in 2015 but at this point he’s actively holding it back.

    I will rather lose Steve Kerr than Jonathan Kuminga at this very point in time me thinks
