The Golden State Warriors shocked the NBA world last month, pulling off a trade for 12-time All-Star Chris Paul, who will join a star-studded Dubs squad consisting of Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. The talent of CP3 is one thing, but Draymond in particular believes Paul’s experience grooming young players is going to […]

The Golden State Warriors appear intent to go all-in on winning another championship next season, if their Jordan Poole for Chris Paul trade was any indication. But will the Warriors decide to do the unthinkable and shop yet another player many thought would be a huge part of the post-Stephen Curry iteration of the Dubs […]

The Golden State Warriors clearly have grown tired of the proverb, “let the kids play,” and appear to be going all in on building a veteran core who can lead them back into championship contention next season. Trading Jordan Poole for Chris Paul strongly supports the notion that the front office is trying to shift […]

Even before the beginning of the draft and free agency, the Golden State Warriors were all over the NBA headlines. Bob Myers has stepped down from his post, Draymond Green is an unrestricted free agent, and the Warriors acquired generational point guard Chris Paul. Jordan Poole was floating in trade rumors after his rocky 2022-23 […]

The Golden State Warriors have recently made it clear they don’t plan on trading forward Jonathan Kuminga, but that hasn’t stopped teams from calling about the former lottery pick. In fact, the Indiana Pacers contacted the Dubs to see what Kuminga’s availability looks like. Via Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports: “Indiana has been scouring the […]

The Golden State Warriors 2022-23 season ended in disappointing fashion. The Warriors fell short of their ultimate to repeat as NBA champions, as the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated them in the second round of the playoffs. And one Warriors player who has seen their name in trade rumors since the season ended is Jonathan Kuminga. […]

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been embroiled in trade rumors all offseason so far. His teammate Andre Iguodala got in on the fun by tweeting that Jonathan Kuminga is now 7’2 in order to hype up the highly coveted young forward, and ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins fell for it, reports Awful Announcing’s Sean Keeley. […]

Jonathan Kuminga’s name continues to swirl in trade rumors as the 2023 NBA Draft draws closer and closer. If the former No. 7 overall pick is ultimately moved before Thursday night, it appears the Golden State Warriors will have made that drastic decision for the chance to select an elite prospect with a high-value lottery […]

The Golden State Warriors dropped some big news on Friday with the announcement of a new general manager in Mike Dunleavy Jr. following the departure of Bob Myers. Heading into the 2023 offseason and the NBA Draft, Dunleavy will have his work cut out for him as he attempts to reshape the Warriors into a […]

The Golden State Warriors have a lot of decisions to make heading into this offseason. They made some big front office news on Friday following the departure of former general manager Bob Myers. Mike Dunleavy Jr. will be tasked with trying to maximize this team’s window and re-making a championship contender. In doing so, he’ll […]

The Golden State Warriors failed to defend their 2022 NBA Championship after getting tossed by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Bob Myers, one of the catalysts of Golden State’s dynastic run, is already gone after the former general manager opted to move on to new ventures. With […]

It’s still unclear where the Golden State Warriors will be picking in the 2023 NBA Draft. Whether they simply stick at No. 19, trade Jonathan Kuminga to vault into the lottery or move out of the first round altogether, though, the type of prospect the Dubs will be targeting next Thursday night is likely to […]

The Golden State Warriors are considering a trade in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft, according to multiple reports. The exact nature of a potential Warriors’ 2023 NBA Draft trade, however, seems to be unclear. The latest update suggests that Golden State could trade out of the first round altogether. The Warriors are […]

You can’t separate the Golden State Warriors’ reported interest in trading Jonathan Kuminga for a high pick in the 2023 NBA Draft from the other major questions this team must answer during a potentially franchise-altering offseason. It was only February when the Warriors finally gave up on James Wiseman, scrapping the two-timeline blueprint to firmly […]

With the Golden State Warriors not yet ready to break up the core of what’s been the most impressive team of the past decade, there are myriad questions how they will approach the offseason. Those questions are primarily about the playing futures of Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga, two talented players whose chemistry — and […]

Just one year ago, the Golden State Warriors were celebrating their fourth championship in the last eight seasons. Now they have questions to answer about their core moving forward and whether or not young talents like Jonathan Kuminga can be long-term assets for them. Drafted in the first round by the Warriors in 2021, Kuminga […]

The Golden State Warriors couldn’t repeat the fairytale finish that they had last season. Their campaign ended in six games against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023 Western Conference Semifinals. This gave their personnel some free time to talk about the NBA Finals. Draymond Green hosted Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on his podcast […]

The defending-champion Golden State Warriors vastly underperformed expectations this season while the Miami Heat continue defying them. After watching the underdog Heat roar back to beat the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Steve Kerr hinted at the overarching reason behind his team’s wholly disappointing title defense. Appearing on The Draymond Green Show Sunday […]

The Golden State Warriors won their fourth NBA Championship in the iteration of their Big 3 and head coach Steve Kerr. The 2022 crown was far different from the previous ones as the journey was more tumultuous, and there were more young guns that were included on their roster. Jordan Poole is a fantastic piece, […]

It’s still unclear who will be running the Golden State Warriors’ front office this summer. Whether Bob Myers decides to stick around, Mike Dunleavy Jr. takes his place or someone else vaults to the top of the team’s basketball operations department won’t change the harshest reality of a pivotal offseason. The Warriors’ ability to restock […]

Steve Kerr balked at the notion he’d ever guarantee a finite role or amount of court time to a player’s agent or other representation. As rumors continue swirling about Jonathan Kuminga’s interest in leaving the Golden State Warriors barring an uptick in minutes next season, though, Kerr laid out exactly what the 20-year-old needs to […]

The Golden State Warriors are beginning an offseason that is filled with questions for the organization. Following their NBA Playoffs exit at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most pressing questions is who will be on the roster to start next season. As of right now, there is a lot of […]

Jonathan Kuminga’s postseason certainly didn’t go how anyone wanted—not him, Dub Nation nor the Golden State Warriors themselves. As he eyes a pivotal, potentially career-altering summer following a disappointing end to 2022-23, though, Kuminga is looking toward a beloved Dubs stalwart as inspiration to improve. The morning after the Warriors were eliminated by the Los […]

The Golden State Warriors and forward Jonathan Kuminga are expected to discuss his future with the team this offseason, according to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater and Shams Charania. If Kuminga is not guaranteed a bigger role, he could seek a trade. Kuminga played over 10 minutes in just one of the Warriors’ 10 playoff games […]

For all of the Golden State Warriors‘ accomplishments over the past decade, their ability to build their team organically was among the main reasons that people spoke so highly of them. At their genesis they were buoyed by veteran big men in David Lee and Andrew Bogut, who spent the first few seasons of their […]

The Golden State Warriors are into Round 2 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, facing the Los Angeles Lakers. Their rotation will continue to shrink as the playoffs go on. Jonathan Kuminga is one of the players the Warriors are squeezing out despite some improvements in his second season. The Warriors went 10 deep in Game […]

Anything is possible amid day-to-day variability of the postseason microscope. As the Golden State Warriors’ playoff run continues with Thursday’s crucial Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers, though, it still seems like Jonathan Kuminga is on the outside looking in at playing time. The sophomore forward didn’t play in the Warriors’ series-opening loss to […]

Playing smaller doesn’t exactly seem a prudent way for the Golden State Warriors to even this series after Anthony Davis’ monstrous Game 1. His real impact extended even further than ridiculous numbers of 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocks—a playoff line only accomplished by Tim Duncan back in the 2003 Finals before […]

Jonathan Kuminga played a grand total of 36 minutes in the Golden State Warriors’ first-round series win over the Sacramento Kings. Could he be in store for a bigger role against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers? Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked about the possibility of Kuminga getting extended run against the […]

The Golden State Warriors face a do-or-die Game 7 at Golden 1 Center with potentially much more at stake than hopes of winning back-to-back titles. If the defending champs fall to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday afternoon, the NBA’s defining dynasty of the modern era could suddenly go up in flames. No pressure. Here are […]

The Golden State Warriors will face what amounts to a do-or-die Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings without Draymond Green. The league office dropped the hammer on Green Tuesday night, shocking the defending champions by suspending him for Thursday’s contest after he retaliated to Domantas Sabonis’ ankle grab by stomping on his chest midway through […]

The Golden State Warriors are finally full-strength at just the right time. Andrew Wiggins surely won’t reach last year’s postseason peak in a first-round clash with the Sacramento Kings, but his rapid re-acclimation after two months removed from game action is the defending champions’ only major personnel concern entering the playoffs. Steve Kerr has the […]

Like many within the Warriors organization, Stephen Curry is liking what he’s seeing from Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga enjoyed a starring role in the Warriors’ road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night as he scored a team-high 22 points in addition to three rebounds, one assist and two steals. The two-way Warriors prospect also […]

It’s all coming together for Jonathan Kuminga. The 20-year-old continued his steady, season-long ascent on Wednesday in the Golden State Warriors’ crucial 127-125 win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with a team-high 22 points, three rebounds and two steals off the bench. Kuminga shot 9-of-11 from the field and drained two of his three tries […]

The Golden State Warriors earned their biggest win of the season on Wednesday, holding off Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks late to secure a 127-125 victory. The win not only marks the defending champions’ first consecutive road triumphs of 2022-23, but clinches a head-to-head tie-breaker with Dallas that could give Golden State a crucial […]

There weren’t too many things to be happy about in the Golden State Warriors’ 133-119 loss against the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Apart from the fact that this was the Dubs’ 10th straight road loss, this was also Memphis’ second consecutive victory over the defending champs. In spite of another devastating loss for […]

Jonathan Kuminga missed three games earlier this month due to a left ankle injury. The Golden State Warriors forward is now dealing with soreness in his right ankle, and he has popped up on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s marquee matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. As such, the question on the minds of Dubs […]

The Golden State Warriors have missed the services of second-year small forward Jonathan Kuminga over the past three games. The 20-year-old has been dealing with a sprained left ankle, and while he has been ramping up of late, his status for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers remained up in the air. As such, […]

The Golden State Warriors will be looking to make it back-to-back wins on Monday when they return to action against the Phoenix Suns. This is after the Warriors came up with a big win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday to maintain their hold on the sixth seed in the Western Conference. Unfortunately for the […]
