In this clip from The Death Lineup, we dive deep into the complicated relationship between the Warriors front office, Steve Kerr, and Jonathan Kuminga. Following Kuminga's recent trade demand and the unfortunate season-ending injury to Jimmy Butler, the Warriors find themselves at a crossroads. General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. recently noted that "demand in the market" needs to exist for a trade to materialize—so how do the Warriors create that demand?
How the Warriors Can Raise Kuminga's Value
To get a "big fish" or a high-level rotation player in return, the Warriors' coaching staff must:
Increase Consistent Minutes
Showcase Versatility
Strategic Matchups
What Kuminga Needs to Do
The trade stock isn't just on the front office; JK has to play his part:
Efficiency is Key: Shooting splits and defensive rotations must remain sharp. Teams are looking for high-IQ players who fit their system.
Professionalism on the Court: Despite the "fractured relationship" rumors, showing up as a team player increases his appeal to culture-focused teams like the Spurs or Heat.
Aggressive Transition Play: Reminding the league of his elite athleticism by attacking the rim and finishing in transition.
Will the Warriors move him before the February deadline, or wait until the summer? Watch the full breakdown to see our predicted landing spots!
