@famouslos32 Curry at 39 should not be avg 30ppg fighting over screens and running around like that. He should be an iso player or standing for a catch and shoot. Fighting over the screen like this is what strained the oblique.
@PrepTheftAuto I do not know what people expected from a 2nd round pick that was just putting up numbers in a finished season of a injury riddle team. No one was scouting the Warriors last year during that 9-19 stretch.
A few pathways. The decision has to be his not the agents. Wolves goal is to get him to early bird rights. Wolves can lay out a plan of him taking the 16mil MLE next season. Attach a P.O. that with continue play like this he will decline and that offseason Wolves now have early bird rights and can offer a 3 year 90mil contract with a P.O. After 2 years decline that P.O. and now before he turns 28 the Wolves will have his full bird rights and the sky is the limit on that contract.
If this year ends with the highest of success. It is up to the Wolves organization like Alex Rodriguez and even Anthony Edwards to balance what he could make with off court endorsements locally, nationally & internationally. Use that smile and Congo roots to sell international. I for one want a pair of Puma Kuminga 1's.
The most immediate option and it will be a tough choice. If JK it valued at that 25-30 mil range and its best for him to secure a longer contract now. The Wolves have to make a tough decision with Ayo in the offseason. He proven he can be a starting guard. If he has a great season maybe he wants more of a starting role on a team. Wolves could possible get a couple of picks for him, also have to get Gobert to decline the P.O. and extend at a lower amount per year to pay JK his value right away.
Dejounte Murray 28.7 mil. 5 points 28 minutes -33 vs the Nets.
Another great 7 point 2-12 game by Peyton Watson 88mil dollar man.
Gotta love 34 soon to be 41 mil a season Mikal Bridges 2 points tonight.
All across the league every night you can find these kinds of performance from highly paid players.
@obedbarry1 Ever checked out JKs year 3 and 4 stats? Especially year 3 at age 21. 16ppg on 52% in 26mpg. Imagine if he had the growth path Jaden has gotten. I hope JK values this more than chasing a 30mil per bag from the Kings or Clippers. Just be patient it will come.
@SaintTrece Forgot to put up his 0 points when he played the Wolves. See he is not Kuminga so he is allowed to have bad games and not be ridiculed. Didnt he have 21 turnovers in 2 games in the playoffs?
Such a drastic change from his former coach who called him out on national tv for a lack of rebounds after being the best scorer and guarding Ant well in a playoff game.
This is coaching.
@tokertim@bscotty410 Your right on the title. I just watched the video. Its not that hard to admit you are wrong. To the Scottie Barnes point. You should watch the game. But keep finding every excuse to discredit him. Going to be a long season.
Where did Kuminga fail? In year three 16ppg 7th in minutes. 19-6 final 4 months had a 31-19 record. Was he the reason Warriors lost the play in game? Or was it Klay 0-10 night? Or Podz 5-2 game? Or CP3 three points?
In his 2nd year in 25 games without Wiggins he averaged 14ppg on 55% shooting in 24 minutes helping the Warriors to the 6th seed. Coach mainly DNPd him in the playoffs. Was the Warriors losing to the Lakers in the 2nd round because Lonnie Walker went off for 15 points in the 4th his failure while sitting on the bench?
In his 4th year after the 3rd year, he had. Regulated coming off the bench again until he worked his way up again to have a 20ppg January before a fluke injury. The coach not wanting to even try to make the fit with Butler work his fault? Was it his fault the Warriors lost the last game to the Clippers and fell out the 6th seed while being DNP'd? You know a team he dropped 34 points eariler that season.
In his 5th year as a starter, he averaged 17-7-3 with a 5-3 record. Were those three losses on him? Or maybe Curry going 4-16 from three vs the winless Pacers or the Warrior not being able to guard Ryan Rollins with no Giannis has something to do with that. The 9th game he has 24-9 with a + rating. But Kerr says the 0-7 Horford off the bench had a great game in a loss. Anything after that was downhill. Oh Curry, Butler, Green missed that Kings game. JK never saw heavy minutes after.
Kuminga never failed on the Warriors. He was never given the elevated minutes and role he earned. Finch told Kuminga before the season we are running with you not away from you. That attitude is what Kerr showed Podz. No matter the mistakes and long stretches of bad play. They were sticking with him.
Are you sure this is from opening night? In any case last game they won and didnt need him after shutting down a player that averaged 28ppg vs the Wolves before only scoring 5 points on Kuminga. You are right, its a long season and games like last are just a blip that all starters and star players have like the 0 points game Scottie Barnes had while facing Kuminga.
@skrtzskrt@sc3097@TheHoopCentral Never knew this would trigger so many people lol. I bet you call ticky tack fouls while play picks ups. There two kinds of players. Those that play through the contact and dont make excuses. Then those that think they their own personal referees.
@SaucyBotts@TheHoopCentral Yup. Mentally strong enough to escape a war torn nation and raise himself. Don't need this weak painted nails panzy stuff and constant participation trophy validation.
@sc3097@TheHoopCentral Oh I played. I also have a Warrior mentality and do not need help if I can help myself and I do not need a pat on the back or encouragement because I made or missed a free throw. Professionals have stated similar sentiments.
