Makkanen absolutely is a #2 on a championahip contender. If were lucky enough to get him, youll find out. He's incredible.
A number 2# wtf ….. seriously do you even watch basketball?
@@hunterspoint33Yes he’s an efficient 23-25 ppg scorer who doesn’t need the ball. Kuminga needs the ball and can’t shoot. In no world is Kuminga near lauri
@@andrewbradley3305lol have u not seen JK cut to the rim…or lobs…or putback dunk or fast break dunks? lol and he’s just 21…Lauri only really came into his own when he went to Utah…
@@Jayydubss Facts, were he has the green light night in & night out
@@DavidLightbringer he is not a #2 guy on a championship contending team. No he is not. Can he get there, maybe, eventually. But right now, hell nah
Lauri Markkenan is worth it. Period. Steph deserves to win now!
Kuminga may reach his full potential in 3 years or so.
@@erniebhernandez6452and still may never win a chip.
@@erniebhernandez6452Kumingas potential is lower then Markrnnen right now. How many nba players can score 25 points a night on elite efficiency without needing the ball. How many of them are 7ft and get more then 8 rebounds a game while shooting 40%. Lauri is a top 15-20 player in the nba
@@UltraVega924 with that attitude they may not. 😆 you gotta look for positive energy. I think JK is amazing but may need a few more years. Curry won’t be able to preform at this high level forever.
@@bjamminsincebirth3494 dude, that’s my entire argument. Refusing to trade JK for a win-now piece is essentially the same thing as prioritizing him over Steph. You can’t wait for JK to reach his hypothetical full potential because Steph needs pieces to win now. They could keep him, piss away Steph’s last years, and he may never win them a championship anyway.
Warriors are in a tough spot. Hate to see kuminga go but that is the price to pay for win now. Hopefully deal not will involve too many draft picks for future. Not a
Id ship JK cause of fit. He doesn’t shoot/handle well enough to be a 3, but doesn’t rebound well enough to be a 4. Lauri is better at both.
yep id get markkanen for jk. holy cow that will be a huge warriors team. quinten post at 7.0, Markkanen at 7.0 tjd at 6'9".. that's your froncourt guys
The problem is not JK, the problem is Ainge will want JK, Moody, Podzemski and 3 or 4 picks.
Is that a fair fucking deal????
You traded your future and your bench just to land one player, take note you still got Looney, GP2 and Wiggins three of whom you gotta offload.
So tell me if that is a fair deal????
@@jkbzz I don't think it is .
Kuminga keeps getting better and is already very hard to gaurd. Can they get this guy without trading kuminga?
@@AR-rn8ok it's not worth it giving up Kuminga for Lauri but if we are going to do that then we must not give up another player nor more than 2 picks really.
If the Jazz don't want that, they can go to hell.
Kuminga has a higher ceiling compared to Lauri. If we cannot land Lauri, make sure you trade that fucker Wiggins for a stable SF like Ingram and go find an average BIG that can space the floor, grab rebounds and catch lobs.
I doubt they’ll take it. But if they would take Wiggins, Moody, Looney, and a bunch of picks for Lauri, I’d take that in a heartbeat.
These dudes have no clue about Laurie’s game.
Cuz they stereotyping, like hypocrites
Absolutely. They are embarrassing themselves. Give me a break.
Yup
How were they stereotyping?
@@shadysif6220they love kuminga cause he’s a black athletic freak…markennan a white not so much athletic freak. Cause of that they think one can defend while the other can’t lool
The only hold up should be if Lauri is gonna sign and extension or not. If he is, you absolutely should be willing to give up Jonathan Kuminga.
It’s not just JK tho
yeah I’d be stoked if it happens. would suck to lose kuminga. however GS are a better squad with markkanen than with kuminga and curry is gonna be 37 next year.
They aren’t taking Wiggins contract back no matter what you think. Get someone on the phone line that can explain to you where the Jazz are and how they are operating, and can tell you Markkanen is way better than you are thinking.
Lauri seems like perfect fit for warriors. He can play along side Dray. Adds size, and 2nd scorer we been needing last two years. With JK, I'm not even sure if the coach likes his game (Podz got more run as a rookie than 3rd yr JK) and doesn't even consider him a 3, but a 4. So that means he's Drays backup this yr?
A 7 foot play maker….. Lauri brings us a different dimension! Especially on a chronically small team.
Trade talks with danny ainge? Good luck 😂
He likes picks!
I keep JK at all costs I've seen him punk Brown and Tatum before and that's what we got a play if we're really trying to win again.
I also saw him a year ago legit not be able to play in a playoff game. Like you were dying for minutes and he couldn’t play. What “star” took 4 years to become something. Most stars flash and you know within 1-2 years.
Punk nobody
@@JustStay16kuminga Stan’s were once wiseman Stan’s. They just love athletic players with pea size brains
Kuminga will not be better than Lauri
You spelled Wiggins wrong.
Dubs fans are crazy to think that danny ainge will take in wiggins for markannen aside from multiple picks
Lauri himself said that he would take less money to be on the Warriors.. that dude is a beast and would make it extremely big difference on the Warriors. They need to get him by any means necessary . No more boring lethargic Wiggins that cares maybe 40% of the time with 40% effort.
Then wait for next season when he becomes free agent, they have space next season when gp2, looney and melton’s contracts are off the hook, that way they didnt give up picks which are so valuable in today’s cba more so with an aging dubs
I love Kaminga but I think it comes down to now for investing in a future which is still “unknown”. When JP and AW were paid then, I think the team also believed they can be the future moving forward. Not saying Kaminga will be the same but the reality is we will never know for certain.
Me, I will be willing to trade him for Lauri. Curry is something special that the team has and may never come again.
Keep Podz, TJD, JK, Curry, current draft picks.
Available for trade are draft picks beyond 2025, Wiggins, GP2. Santos. On the fence: Draymond Green.
There’s no way we can keep all those guys. Utah will demand Kuminga for sure, and probably Podz as well.
@@johnholloway8657 I just clarified my original post 📫. The 2nd line is for what the GSW cam offer other teams in trades.
Kuminga been getting better and better. Idk if they’d trade him. No way warriors should trade both wigs and kuminga.
lol, no way is Ainge going to trade him without asking for everything. Hard pass trading on trading with Ainge.
For Markkanen, I give our of guards (Pods, Moody, GPII). But I'm with you Shaski on Kaminga. He's is legit NBA shot creator and you don't have many of them. So don't give up on Kaminga. But I see a conflict with keeping both Kaminga and Wiggins. Wiggens go to go.
I don't care who we get, but "Don't Give Up KUMINGA"!!!💪
who says he will stay when stephs gone and the team is not there
Kuminga is fine. Lauri is a certified stud and stepoh needs to win now. I'd ship Kuminga for Lauri
@@NicoEss If you look at the big picture, switchable defensive wings win championships like the Boston has. We have Draymond, Kuminga, & Wiggins if he is on his game. I'm not sure how well Lauri can defend but maybe I'm underestimating him.
@@NicoEss yeah no point keeping him when the team sucks eggs you spend the last few years and overdrive it into steph and drafting these good 20 year olds too no 18 wiseman
Keep JK to do what? Because right now, he isn’t moving the needle for us, and Steph only has a few years left. Refusing to move JK for a win-now piece for Steph is basically prioritizing him over Steph.
Hell yea and u should bring lauri legend!!! Championship move
If necessary, I’d trade JK in a deal for Markkanen quick because in my opinion refusing to trade JK for a win-now piece is tantamount to prioritizing him over Steph. I don’t want to give him up, but I want Steph to have as much help and be as competitive as possible in his last few years. JK right now isn’t helping us win a chip, while I believe Markkanen would. Plus, yeah, JK MIGHT be an all-time great. Steph IS an all-time great. If they’re not making moves to win now because they don’t want to move off of JK, and because they’re restricted financially, just trade Steph so he can be competitive. They’d keep JK and save money.
I’m with you Shaski
These guys need to go watch ANY of Laurie’s highlights and then they’ll see it’s not even a discussion.
Trade Kuminga now so we can win now. Not in 4 years when Kuminga figures it out
Not if it cost us all of our youth.
Wiggs, Moody, two first round and one second round pick for Laurie!
if we could get walker kessler and lauri then im willing to give up kuminga but if its just lauri then its gotta be wiggins and moodey or something
I think Lauri couldn be what Gasol was for Kobe with steph
I want Lauri to be a warrior but tbh giving up kuminga just isn’t smart to me, jk got hella potential and I believe he’s gonna show everyone how much of a asset he’s gonna be for the organization future star leader of the team once curry is done,just in my opinion.
Kuminga's ceiling is higher than Lauri in my view.
i think we fine with our current roster + buddy hield. Lori too expensive...
Just go get Howard pay him vet min call it the day you already worked him out swallowed pride get Howard
What about Boogie Cousins?
@@cynthiasellers5778both those dudes are cooked
Willing to give up all the picks for Lauri….dubs not getting another Steph curry anytime soon.
I expected more from you Bonta. Dray didn’t tho.
Jk off limits is some wild sauce man
Then Kuminga better be the #2 scorer this season.
Man the overhyping of kaminga is comical..lol
Truth be told Kerr has limited JK, he is the 7th pick in the NBA draft.
He has had to fight for minutes. Had to complain to management about minutes. Kerr held him out during the playoffs. We might as well trade him as Kerr has a problem with him. He averaged 16 & 5. Lauri is not the answer & we regress with him as a 2nd option. I would take Lavine contract b4 Lauri.
Lauri plays in Utah, green light all day. He hasn’t played a full season in 7 years, really.
Develop your own guys
I don’t remember any point of Klay being the 2nd best player on that 22 team
Klay was more if an X-factor, especially since he didn't play the 1st half of the season.
Now nobody talking about buddy hield lol so obviously that didn’t go through right
It's not finalized yet.
No Kuminga, No Markenen Period.
Kuminga will be where Lauri is in 3 years (just coming into prime). Lauri will be in his prime this year (Same class as Luka Tatum & Booker) Steph needs a prime player not a superstar or Up and coming. Steph is coming out of his prime. Wiggs is coming out of his prime. Dray is coming out of his prime.
Lauri can come in and extend this winning culture 2-4 more years. Then you add more pieces to the puzzle. Like a bridge. Steph will have another contract past 2026 probably 2 year or retire.
Give up JK and possibly win another title. Steph Heild Dray Wiggs Lauri
Or hope JK becomes what we want him to be and force him into an early prime.
I would trade any of the youngsters or draft picks except JK. Steph Lauri Draymond and JK. Can compete with anyone. Stop worrying about the future and forgetting about the present
Kuminga and 3 picks can go for Lauri
Kyle Anderson can defend 1-5
Not getting Lauri. Just wishing and hoping.
Let's be real here, Wiggins' deal and Wiggins play has ruined the Warriors build. Period. More than one thing, but sorry, simply true for the most part.
Wiggins hate....
we have JK and moody for awhile what happened folks?! time for change Lauri will make them better we need to go big with shooter thats the guy. Pick and roll with Curry or Green. Don’t forget Curry always makes u better whoever comes aboard Curry just needs help outside and inside. GO ALL In now been 2 years Curry been patience without help only Klay but his been inconsistent. Warriors been exposed already time for change. If they can let go Klay they can let go JK too. Go for it you will not find out if it will work if we dont take a risk. Are we building for future or for Curry’s prime?!!!
Kuzma have the same stats that markennen and you can have it for wiggins and a firts round
Kuzma 33% from 3, compared to Lauri over 39% last two seasons. Lauri 3” taller and better rebounder. They aren’t even close.
@@johnholloway8657 yep but the price is not clóset either, kuzma contract Is descending, you can keep both kuminga and kuzma, and renew kuminga contract next year it Is More possible than markennen
If they do a trade , yes give Wiggins, Moddy, Podz, and Davis.
All those players for one guy? Did you see what happened to the Phoenix Suns? Please
no not podz and davis.
@@husseinmkanga7794I follow the Suns closely and I agree with you…. I wouldn’t give up 4 guys. I’m not giving them Davis either… plus Angie loves draft picks. Warriors added Buddy, Melton, Lindy and Slow Mo… they loaded up on fringe starters and role players… plus our current players, we’re way way deeper than the Sun’s were with role players…. Suns traded 3 starters and lacked benched depth… we’re better in that regard. But Curry as Batman’s needs his Robin. Is JK ready? Lauri would be nice.
When you only look at a player because he has not made the playoffs, your losing the fact that BB is a team sport. That was not a good take. Could Curry take a bad team to the playoffs?
GET LAURI MARKKENAN! Trade anyone but Steph
I would trade kuminga.
95.7,
Please get rid of Bonta.
kuminga no trade please
They don’t have enough assets to get it done
They do, they're just not willing to give it up
I will dare JK to shoot 3 and bricks if i were the opponent team his inconsistent than Markkanen warriors are build to play pick and roll and ball movement and shoot 3’s. Not JK game mid range and dunk. They will double team Curry if no one can shoot 3. Thats why Curry needs help like KD type and Markkanen is that dude. If they can get Ingram or Grant go for it too. Kuzma can fit as well. Ask KD again if he wants to come back? KD wants out in Phoenix too.
KEEP KUMINGA!
Bonta is being extra on this one lol Ain’t know you comparing a team that’s being together for years and have athletes across the roster. Not only that, Jrue Al & White are a pros pro. They have experience and great understanding. Also there best players aka 1 A & 1 B are two way guys in the most important positions in Basketball. We have to be realistic lol Don’t overhype this squad. They trying to adapt a new offense whereas the Celtics are plugging and playing b ball
I heard Lauri was spotted in Pleaston Meadowlark Dairy Drive thru yesterday 👀👀
What does that mean?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, Moody, Kuminga and Pod are the future for the Warriors!
Kuminga is overrated until he becomes a defensive specialist like Kawhi Leonard on the Spurs. All that athleticism and size is useless if he can't defend on-ball.
home grown is better in the long term
Wiggins,Dario,Quiones & Santos for Markenon
if you add in like 4-5 first round picks sure.
That’s not realistic. Why would Utah do that? SMH
and isn't dario a free agent?
@@rickymickey4889yes
@@deathlord5103 You never know let’s be optimistic
Lauri is worth it he shoot better den klay
Warriors are a 500 team at best
Kuminga IS NOT A GOOD DEFENDER!!! Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not going to happen. 😂😂😂😂
Teams make playoffs not players.
Pods and wiggs gone
Kuminga is a bust
He easily couk'd have been Kawhi Leonard 2.0. There's no reason why he shouldn't be an on-ball stopper with his athletic attributes people keep praising him about.
He isn't worth it.
He's not worth it
Warriors are NOT trading JK and Laurie is NOT making the Warriors a contender.
If you’re not tying to compete with Steph Curry on the roster, you’re doing something wrong. Markkanen makes them a better team than they are with Kuminga, hands down.
Markkanen will make the warriors a contender. He is a sharpshooter and a 7footer. imagine how much space he will get. at tjd and post on the front court.
If warriors can can clarksron and lauri it will be perfect. Trade all the young guys plus 1st round picks
I didn’t know that JK is an elite wing defender. Maybe on Tuesdays and Fridays.
He is pretty close to his ceiling. Warriors have a two year window and have to find the very best player available to pair with Steph in that time. Markkanen is probably the best attainable asset at this point.
This is not the time to bet on hope for potential.
@@vita4-life852Exactly
Lauri is extremely overrated. He’s not worth JK/other good young players and multiple first round draft picks. He’s never played in the playoffs, he’s 7 foot but doesn’t block shots and can’t guard centers, he’s brittle and misses 25-30 games a year, he’s not going to guard on the perimeter, and he’s gonna sign a 50 mill a year deal while not proving much. People wanting to trade so much for a question mark is crazy. We’ve never seen him in big games but we’re gonna trade half the team for him and a bunch of first round picks? Seems crazy to me
No young players
Lol these guys don’t watch the NBA
You guys are hyping a 12th seed team... I get it's your job but I don't buy this BS!
Talk is cheap.
When it happens then we could talk.
Melton and Anderson are mediocre players.
They are great if they are your 7-8th best guy. Not if they are your 4-5th best guy.
Exactly
He isn't worth it.
