A reporter brought up the Warriors’ dismal 1-20 record this season when trailing after the third quarter against the Lakers on Saturday. Stephen Curry’s reaction? Pure disbelief. “What?” he exclaimed. “Sheesh, I did not know that.” Clearly taken aback, Curry admitted that the Warriors’ struggles late in games have been a pattern this season. “Some of the games have been because we couldn’t score,” Curry noted. “Tonight, AD and LeBron controlled possessions… we’ve got to figure out those anomalies.”

The Golden State Warriors’ 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday during rivalry week emerged as a tough one to swallow. Despite trailing by just six points heading into the fourth quarter, the Warriors couldn’t turn things around.

After starting the season 12-3, Golden State has now dropped to a 22-23 record. With Curry and Draymond Green battling injuries, the team’s lack of star power has been painfully obvious. With Steph entering his twilight years, the window for another ring is closing. So what can the 2x MVP do? According to AI, a trade looks like the best option.

An AI-generated video featuring Stephen Curry has sparked rumors about a potential trade. “I’m requesting to be traded to the Lakers,” Curry boldly states in the video. “I want to play with LeBron and A.D.” He explains that he feels trapped with the current roster, calling out his teammates as “literally a team full of G Leaguers.” The 10x All-star’s tone is filled with frustration, noting that despite playing injured, he is carrying the team just to avoid embarrassing blowouts.

The video also targets fellow Warrior Draymond, whom Curry sarcastically refers to as a “donkey.” Curry slams Green for sitting out games with what he considers minor injuries, calling him “the softest charming.”. He contrasts his own injured play with Green’s absence, emphasizing how it’s hurting the team’s performance. It doesn’t stop there—Curry also takes aim at the Warriors’ management, specifically GM Mike Dunleavy, whom he accuses of ignoring his calls for help. “They think Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are the future Jordan and Pippen,” Curry quips, adding that he’s been urging the front office to trade the young players for more help. “But that brain-dead GM Mike Dunleavy refuses to listen,” Curry states, frustration dripping from every word.

This video, while tongue-in-cheek, illustrates a simple message: Curry is unhappy with the current state of the team and his role. “I gotta save my energy for the Lakers. Me, LeBron, and A.D. are going to cook this league,” Curry asserts confidently. Well, we saw what LeBron, Curry, and AD could do together during the Olympics. His final words? “Sorry Warriors fans.” Could this be a prelude to a real-life trade request? Only time will tell.

But for now, the Warriors’ woes get worse.

What’s your perspective on:

Could a Curry-LeBron-AD trio dominate the NBA, or is it just a pipe dream?

Stephen Curry will have to hang on for longer as bad news about the Warriors youngster emerges

The Golden State Warriors have just hit another setback with one of their key players. Kuminga, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury, won’t be back as soon as expected. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors forward remains “weeks away” from returning to action, with his recovery now possibly extending beyond the All-Star break.

Kuminga’s injury first occurred during pregame warmups on January 4 before the Warriors faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played that game, but after that, he’s been out. His ankle is still wrapped up, and he hasn’t even started doing real court work yet, which is a tough blow for the Warriors.

Let’s not forget, Kuminga’s been a solid contributor this season, averaging 16.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 32 games. His shooting splits are pretty decent too — 45.9% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range. So yeah, his absence will hurt Golden State as they continue to fight for position in the Western Conference.

Initially, people thought Kuminga would miss only three weeks, but now, with another three-plus weeks added to his recovery time, it’s clear the Warriors will have to manage without him for even longer. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but let’s hope the 22 yo forward returns soon.
