This trade saves them $2.5 million, creates a trade exception worth that amount, and gives them additional depth. They’re $415,566 under the second apron. Jonathan Kuminga's agent on why he didn't sign a 3-year, $75 million extension with the Warriors: “Money coming before basketball is not how you continue to make more and more money... Next year is a way better free agency year for him... teams that have been trying to sign-and-trade for him, like Sacramento and Chicago, will have a lot of money.” (via @RunItBackFDTV)

That agent really is the worst. Just right after signing, he is already talking about his next team. Kuminga just needs to get away from the rumor mill and just play.
It is not like he has not shown promise at times. Ultimately, he deserves the most blame for it not working in GS. Although, you need to also admit for a young, raw player it is hard to fill the role GS wanted filled and accept that role. Maybe if he was a four year college player he could have adapted, gotten a lot of minutes and now be ready for a much bigger role with an aging team. In Atlanta, I believe it was more positive than negative. He just got caught in a numbers game with ATL and a lack of cap space this summer.
He just needs to focus on making it hard for him to not be on the court. Minny should be pretty good (like the other 3-6 teams in west they all have warts). If he does that, his future will take care of itself. This comment by his agent is pretty pathetic imo..especially after just signing with a new team.
