95.7 The Game: Steve Kerr on if Jonathan Kuminga returns to Golden State: “If JK comes back, we will for sure spend the early part of the season playing him with Jimmy, Draymond, Steph. To me that would be a no brainer. We didn’t have that luxury this year.. We’ve basically been in the playoffs since the minute we got Jimmy and that was also when JK got hurt.”

Steve Kerr: “I don’t want to start next season with Draymond as our starting center. I think it’s doable for the last 30 games like we did this year, but you see the toll it takes on him.” – 5:40 PM

Mike Dunleavy on Jonathan Kuminga: “Despite him not playing in some playoff games, it’s very reasonable and actionable for him to come back.”

Steve Kerr: “Any talk of ‘Do we need to change our offensive system?’ to me is kinda laughable. What does that mean? Let’s not run Steph off screens? Let’s not put Steph in pick-and-roll?” pic.x.com/LUZS2job1K – 4:02 PM

Steve Kerr is entering the final season of his own contract. He’s comfortable with that and has always felt tied to the end of the Steph Curry era.

Steph on Kuminga: “He’s grown a lot. He’s been dealt a very tough hand…he has handled his business of just getting better…Proud of the way he’s handled it. Hope the future is bright for him whether it is here or wherever. He’s gone through a lot than most people go in 4 years.” – 3:04 PM

Asked if he views this as a two-year window, Stephen Curry says that with him, Steve Kerr, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler all aligned for two more years, you just want “the ride” to last as long as it can. – 3:01 PM

The Warriors didn’t want to take anything away from the Wolves. But it was hard not to think what could’ve been had Stephen Curry been healthy. Steve Kerr: “I don’t even have to think what [if]. I know we had a shot. I know we could have gone the distance” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 3:38 AM

Warriors started with TJD on Randle, trying to preserve Draymond. But Kuminga is coming in so the Warriors will go small

Bobby Marks: Kuminga will receive a $7.9M Qualifying Offer by June 29. After that there are 4 options: 1. Sign with Golden State. 2. Sign an offer sheet with a team with room (BKN is the only team with $30M+). The Warriors have the right to match. 3. Sign-and-trade (50% of his salary counts as outgoing salary) 4. Sign the QO and become a UFA in 2026 -via x.com / May 16, 2025
Ohm Youngmisuk: Mike Dunleavy Jr. called Jonathan Kuminga’s season was a “resilient” one. But also says it’s a “two-way street” as far as Kuminga coming back heading into restricted free agency. He says despite Kuminga not playing some playoff games, it’s “very reasonable” for Kuminga to return. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / May 16, 2025
