The NBA trade market is hot and open. This is the perfect time to make the bid and set the stage to hit the jackpot. But for the blockbuster moments to happen, you need to stay away from monetary crunches. And in that case, the Golden State Warriors are missing the spot. However, with frustration growing around Brandin Podziemski’s performance and Jonathan Kuminga’s no-contract situation, something might be brewing in the Dubs front office. But, what?

Evan Sidery of Forbes reported: “The Warriors are expected to be active as buyers on the trade market utilizing $30+ million in expiring contracts. Many are wondering whether Golden State will put Jonathan Kuminga on the table in a potential deal for an All-Star level player after unsuccessful extension talks.”

To begin with, JK’s exit from the Warriors squad after 4 seasons might be around the corner. We know, he is without a contract and the team has failed in an extension conversation. Currently, valued at $24 million, Kuminga’s vacant spot could open up opportunities to bring an All-Star hooper. Who could it be? Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Vucevic, or Jimmy Butler?

Besides, fans are just not happy with Brandin Podziemski‘s performance for the Bay Area. It looks like the 21YO point guard’s shooting woes aren’t going to end anytime soon. Moreover, the way he keeps losing the ball on the court is costing Coach Kerr & Co. crucial points. Thus, fans have a demand: let go of Podz, and do it ASAP. He might be the rising star, young talent, or prodigy, whatever you want to name him. But, on the team, he’s underperforming.

Well, Kuminga might be doing a better job compared to Podz, but if Steve Kerr is looking forward to rebuilding his dynasty- he must let go.

Amidst Brandin Podziemski’s disappointment, fans feel the excitement of possible fresh faces in the Dubs

“Jimmy buckets on the way.” Fans seem to lose control over their hopes and excitement for the Warriors. The waning dynasty desperately needs renovation and who’s better than Jimmy Butler in such a case? He’s ticking the checklist for an All-Star-level player. Well, he is not an ‘All-Star-level’ player, he is an All-Star player. Besides, without a contract extension with the Miami Heat, the 35-year-old forward could become the ‘hot-shot’ in the trade market.

Meanwhile, one of the fans has an honest request: “Get him and podz out of here I’m begging.” Here, the ‘him’ is Jonathan Kuminga. Let’s go one at a time. After Tuesday’s loss vs. Denver Nuggets, Coach Kerr spoke to the media in the postgame presser. The 59YO was frustrated with how the game turned out. But, his frustration with Brandin Podziemski has caught the attention.

Coach Kerr, didn’t hold back. He expressed: “He cannot be that guy. He can’t foul jump shooters. I love Brandin. Hell of a player. Hell of a future. He needs to be a smart player.” So, it looks like it’s not just the fans who are upset with the point guard, even the HC is seemingly disappointed.

Besides, “Give us Giannis @Bucks” was one of the most-expected comments. The Warriors had shown interest in the Greek Freak recently. Especially with rumors circulating about Antetokounmpo’s Bucks exit following their streak of losses earlier in the season. But, it won’t be an easy task acquiring the 2x MVP, also because Milwaukee is over their second tax apron. So, the situation is tricky (with no treats)!

Another fan expressed: “Melton, kuminga and 2 2nd round picks for vuc is bound to happen.” De’Anthony Melton’s journey with the Dubs will most likely end following his season-ending ACL injury. The 26-year-old veteran guard didn’t even get to properly play his first season alongside Steph Curry. Besides, there have been rumors about JK and Moses Moody being candidates in the trade market. In return, Joe Lacob might be looking forward to signing the Chicago Bulls’ center Nikola Vucevic, who is also one of the said top names in the trade market.

Lastly, “Fire sale, time for change. Get this shit done we running out of time with Steph.” This is the desperate plea of a die-hard fan who wants the best for the Golden State Warriors. Moreover, Stephen Curry is indeed in the twilight of his career. At 36, he’s putting up the best show for Steve Kerr. But, for how long will he be around? The Dubs need to make long-term plans to win in the post-Curry era.

Thus, the Warriors are at a crucial crossroads, balancing immediate fixes and future goals. With Kuminga’s uncertain contract and Podziemski’s struggles, bold decisions loom. Fans eagerly await a trade that could reignite the dynasty. Time is ticking, and Steph’s prime won’t last forever.
