In case the terrible performance of the Golden State Warriors so far this season was not enough , after the humiliating defeat of Steve Kerr ‘s team against the Denver Nuggets and the subsequent recovery against the Detroit Pistons, we must add a double suit for the team led by Stephen Curry . And everything indicates that there are two players that Warriors have lost, Chris Paul and Jonathan Kuminga.
The case of CP3 has been, to say the least, very unfortunate , since a chance blow in the fight for a rebound during the match between the Warriors and Pistons ended up resulting in the fracture of Paul’s hand, who will now have to undergo surgery to repair an injury that, for now, has no return date, but is expected to last for a long time.
The bomb came with Kuminga
While what happened with Chris Paul was an unfortunate problem, the Kuminga case was not . The Warriors ‘ young forward was already experiencing a certain level of disagreement with the amount of minutes that Steve Kerr had been giving him throughout the season . However, after not playing one of the last 18 minutes of the Warriors’ last game, Kuminga finally exploded.
And, according to the information offered by The Athletic, the forward has lost all confidence in what his coach tells him and according to the aforementioned media, that was “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” especially when seeing that his coach did not react when he saw that an 18-point lead was disappearing . Something that, furthermore, would not have recovered after having played 36 minutes against the Pistons , since, obviously, playing against the best team is not the same as against the worst.
In this situation, with trust completely lost, a transfer would be the best idea. Well, before the incident escalates and damages Kuminga’s value, a transfer would nip the problem in the bud. In this sense, the solution with the forward would be similar to the one that could be taken before the market ends with Klay Thompson, who is also in the pipeline and could abandon Steph Curry and his Warriors along with Kuminga in an upcoming transfer. Who knows if in a possible exchange for Pascal Siakam .
