gui santos is a better fit anyway
That title is incorrect because it was the Warriors who began and sustained the toxicity in this relationship
Next is Podz
Idk why a bust bench warmer still talked about 🤣
Embarrassing for Kuminga..Ik this dude was a problem
Thank you ESPN you Suck!!!! Steve Kerr is the Problem!!!! Until you understand that you are nothing
Kerr is the most overrated couch in the history of the NBA
Why Draymond ain't do him like he did Kevin Durant and Jordan poole
Nonsense report
Keep seeing people blame Kerr & saying he doesn't know how to develop talent, Kuminga is not that good man. 😂 And the Warriors have only had 2 lottery picks during the Kerr era, it's not like they're getting great picks every year. He made Looney & Poole looked better than they actually are, & made decent role players out of late 1st round & 2nd round picks. Also turned Wiggins into an Allstar.
Yall keep bringing up Mark Jackson, dude was an old school coach. Mark wasn't letting Curry & them shoot 30 footers & 400+ 3pts per year. Kerr was the one who made the necessary adjustments, like bringing Iggy off the bench. Kerr gave Curry & Klay the greenlight, unlocked their game, & it changed the entire NBA landscape. The people who are saying "Kerr got carried by Curry, Dray, & Klay" are the same ones who blame Doc despite always having great talent. If Kerr sucks & got carried by his players to 4 rings, then that same logic should've worked for Doc. Doc would have way more rings right now if it's that easy to get carried by players lmao, but no, coaching actually matters & it takes a good coach to win 4 rings, especially having to manage all them egos while KD was there. This is the same deal with the Bucks. Yeah, Kidd may have had a young Giannis & tuned some parts of his game, but he was also the one who wouldn't allow Giannis to shoot jumpers, probably why Giannis never fully develop that aspect of his game. As soon as the Bucks got rid of Kidd & brought on Budenholzer, he took Giannis & the Bucks to whole new level.
If Mark Jackson was that good, he'd be coaching right now, plain & simple!
"He just needs a chance and a runway…" Oh, please. If you read the whole piece, you learn how self-sabotaging Kuminga has been. Bottom line: Kuminga's all in on HIS career, not on how it meshes with the team concept–AKA contributions that win games. He'll be padding his numbers and making more money, at Atlanta or other places. But padding is not how I'd describe the inevitable effect he's going to have on the win-loss column.
Wemby! If you see this… one time… three point finger roll!!! Please!
Restricted FA needs to go. You should be able to extend early and give more money than anyone else. But RFA is extremely toxic
talking about too much free food does not make sense for a millionaire
Kerr did JK so wrong wasted some of his valuable years
Malika's face and voice is so different, what happened to her?
Kuminga is not even that good. Stop he’s a good player. But he’s no where near a star and never will be. A role player at best. Can’t dribble, cant pass, cant shoot, has no touch around the rim.
JK’s problem was that he had a coach who could only look at what he couldn’t do.
Multiple sides to a story. I thought Kerr handled the situation well. Kuminga's play style didn't work well and he's ultimately responsible for his own play.
