As Speculation Around 9x Champion’s Subtle Dig Multiplies, Stephen Curry’s Teammate Has Warriors Fans Breathing A Sigh Of Relief

With the season done and dusted for the Golden State Warriors, fans and players alike are probably reflecting on what went wrong this year. By the Warriors’ standards, the season was pretty mediocre as they were dispatched by the Los Angeles Lakers in the WC Semi-finals. While experienced names like Stephen Curry did their bit, the young stars on the roster were heavily criticized throughout the season. Head coach Steve Kerr’s subtle dig at the youngsters caught the attention of the world. However, a 20-year-old Warriors star has now given some hope to the Warriors faithful that the future is bright.

With a turbulent start and an unimpressive playoff run the bay area faithful can expect more from this team heading into the next season. The reigning champs struggled throughout the year and barely managed to make the postseason. Eventually, their season ended in disappointing fashion and Kerr recently opened up about it.

20-year-old Warriors star snoozes the false alarm

On a recent appearance on The Draymond Green Show, 9x NBA champion and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr came in swinging as he was critical in his assessment of the young guns. While others were dumbfounded, 20-year-old Jonathan Kuminga responded with a cryptic post that sounded off the alarms in the Bay Area.

The 6’7 Power Forward had a great regular season, but his postseason numbers were far from great. He wasn’t given enough playing time in the playoffs and it gave birth to the rumors of him potentially requesting a trade. Nonetheless, his post started a wave of speculation which now seems to have been put to bed by Kuminga himself.

Kuminga shared another tweet that has the Warrior’s fans breathing a sigh of relief. The Congolese star was seen practicing his jump shots wearing a Golden State Team shirt with pro trainer Anthony Wells, calming the nerves of many in San Francisco.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for many of the Warriors stars, but Kerr’s comments about them raised suspicion that everything might not be right in Golden State.

9-Time Champ Critical of Young Players

During his appearance on The Draymond Green Podcast, Kerr praised the Miami Heat heavily. The Florida team has a roster filled with young talents that have taken them all the way to the Finals. Making a note Kerr stated, “None of those guys on Miami are sitting there saying, ?I didn?t play or man, they put in so and so.'”

This was a subtle dig taken by the coach on his own players. With a young core that boasts the likes of Jordan Poole, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga, Kerr sounded them off, clearly not pleased by their involvement in the team.
