Steve Kerr wishes Jonathan Kuminga went to him first about complaints
Anthony Slater: Here’s a more extended soundbite from Steve Kerr on Jonathan Kuminga. Said he spoke with Kuminga today and wished any displeasure remained in-house. “You have an issue, I’m here. I’m the most accessible coach in the league probably. My door is always open.” pic.twitter.com/nVYW76b7HB

Pick one trade result for the Kings. And before you select the Siakam option on impulse, remember that he’s an expiring deal vs way better contract situations for Kuzma & Kuminga.
HKD = Harrison, Kevin, Davion combo package. – 6:12 PM

Hey! @samfolkk and I are about to podcast!
We planned on talking for a long time just about the Raptors and what they do. That’s still the plan!
Also though: Jonathan Kuminga is in the news after @ShamsCharania’s report so we’re starting there.

My man @timkawakami set the stage for the Jonathan Kuminga controversy perfectly last week. Kuminga and Wiggins just haven’t been good together. At all. It’s a problem that forces Kerr into a tough decision every night.

Steve Kerr deserves a ton of credit for one of the best coaching innovations of all time: the whirly-bird off-ball cuts/motion/spacing system used to unlock Steph/Klay/Dray and make them a dynasty. Legit brilliant.
The rest of Kerr’s resume? Fair to ask questions about, IMO. – 2:06 PM

Thinking about how Steve Kerr couldn’t find a single minute for Jonathan Kuminga in the fourth quarter. But Michael Malone benched MPJ for Peyton Watson in the closing minutes.
Two dramatically different approaches. One that makes sense. One that doesn’t. theringer.com/nba/2024/1/5/2… – 12:26 PM

Kendra Andrews: Kerr said he knows he needs to play Kuminga more than 18 min, “But these are really difficult decisions because it’s not as simple as how many minutes a guy plays…it’s what’s the combination?” Against Denver, Kerr went with Wiggins , & they don’t like them on the court together -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / January 5, 2024
