    Lauri is just a 7 feet 3 point shooter. He doesn't play like a big. Everybody wants him because he shoots 3 and is bigger. But he can't rebound, he can't defend, do you really think he can rotate in defense as fast as kuminga? Lauri can't even pass, and in the warriors motion offense, you need guys that can run and rotate and pass, lauri doesn't give you any of that. Plus he is often injured. What are you going to do if he missed 20 games? Who is going to help steph if you trade Kuminga? Kuminga is younger and this next season if giving the minutes him and Moody are going to be way better next season. Plus they already have a 7 footer in post that can shoot the 3, and is better rebounder, better defensive player and way better passer than lauri. Lauri is just a 1 time all star, and because he is in a team that he is the only real scorer. Put him in a one of the elite team. He is just a 20 point scorer and at 27 he is not going to be way better. Kuminga and Moody and TJD are going to be way better.

Blocks at 7 feet protect the paint better than a 6'7, in the West particular against Lakers James and company use him up in the paint.
      Injuries, it has already been stated unofficially by Jazz insider last two years shelf once they knew they cant make the playin.

JK, is 6'6 more mobile out in the perimeter, LM, can defend better at 7'1 be able to defend more in the paint especially helping out others which is the biggest minus for the Warriors. Every team offense is to attack and so far Jk, hasn't been able to lift them up even with Kerr not believing in him.

      I keep hearing people talking about "waiting" on his development, when he's already done more with less than most prospects in the league.
      He's been developing mostly on his own, as Kerr doesn't really run plays for him, and will yank him inexplicably when he's cooking, and he's yet to give him an established role, so he has to create for himself.
      The Dubs were better with him in the starting lineup. And speaking of maximizing Steph and Draymond's time. When Kerr finally gave Kuminga consistent minutes guess what happened? During that stretch guess who was the highest scoring duo in the league? STEPH AND KUMINGA.
      and guess which duo was carving up defenses like Lob City as well? DRAYMOND AND KUMINGA.
      And guess which player said Kuminga had every to be upset, when Kerr pulled him from a game they were winning?
      STEPH CURRY.
      Guess who said Kuminga would be dropping 20 a night if he played on a team that have him decent minutes? STEVE KERR.
      And you're out of your mind if you think Danny Ainge won't ask for not just Kuminga, but other young assets, and draft picks over the next 5 or 6 years. And you're adding a player who's all but guaranteed to miss 20+ games to a team that's already old, with little to no depth after you pay him.?

    I'm in the camp that if Utah wants to get something of value for Markkanen, they can have Wiggins, Moody, and three 1st rounders (one of which would be protected). Anything more than that, and I'm out.
    If the point of that move is to make the Warriors BETTER, then you have to keep your young phenom, even if you think he's just phenom POTENTIAL. You need to add talent, not subtract one talented piece for another. At that point, you're just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.
    Also, I have two things to say about Shasky and Steiny's stance. On Steiny's, the whole "19 wins is different than 46" may be valid to you, but to Steph Curry, missing the playoffs is missing the playoffs. Steph wants a shot, or multiple shots at another title, so missing the playoffs REGARDLESS of our win total is a failure in his mind. Plain and simple.
    You also don't know in 3 years that the Warriors will for sure be a lottery team even if Steph fades. Maybe Kuminga would've turned into an all-star by then, maybe you drafted another great scorer to pair with him, or maybe TJD, Podz, Post, and those guys became really good players around him, and at least kept the team in the hunt. All of those things are still very possible. And even if NONE of that happens, I won't be mad at the Warriors for sticking with, not just the greatest player in your franchise's history, but one of the top 10 players of all time.
    I'm much more with Bonta and Gu on the fact that Steph is a very different case than any other great player right now because, other than LeBron, he's a certified icon and top 10 guy in my mind. Those guys may not come around again for 50 years, so you do what you can to take full advantage of their time while they're in your jersey. I'm sorry, but nobody is blaming the Lakers for paying Kobe even when he was a shell of his former self there at the end. What Steph has done for this franchise is BEYOND monetary value, and its sad that "die hards" like Shasky can't see that

      In the last game vs the tanking Jazz, no Clarkson or Lauri, all Bench players. Kuminga played 23 min and scored 0 points. Klay and Wiggins lead the team in scoring that game.
      Against bottom tier bench players, Kuminga could not score...

    Definitely trade Kuminga for Maarkenan. The Warriors can’t pay them both. And it’s not worth paying kuminga $45 million as he develops

      But it makes sense to pay a player who never plays a full season, has never sniffed the playoffs, is a questionable fit in their small ball scheme, and will be going against the likes of Jokic, A.D. Kat, Wemby, Sabonis, Zion, and Luka on the perimeter?
      Oh I forgot, your youth and draft picks for the foreseeable future will also be gone. When Steph retires, that deal might hang over the franchise for a decade.
