Monte Poole talks about three reasons why Kuminga left: The current main reason why Butler s achievements are

The Warriors and Jonathan Cumingga's "stance" before their divorce lasted for nine weeks. The initial expectation had long become boring, and this boredom happened to be a breeding ground for speculation and accusations. The plot to turn the blame is getting worse.

Golden State Warriors CEO Joe Lacob was criticized for publicly supporting Kumingga; Kumingga himself was criticized for refusing multiple contract offers; former general manager Bob Myers followed the advice of his management deputy and chose Kumingga when he was 18 years old, and now he has become the target of criticism; head coach Steve Cole and his coaching staff were criticized for not training Kumingga into a young version of Paul George.

The current general manager Mike Dunleavy is also unable to escape accusations for choosing to wait patiently rather than trade to get the Warriors back to the top of the league (although this idea is not realistic).

Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler, the man who pushed Kumingga to the brink of leaving the team, was drinking coffee and playing dominoes.

On the afternoon of February 6, the Warriors traded Butler from the Miami Heat, which made the reason for staying Cuminga quite weak. With or without Kuminga, the Warriors were spinning around, and Dunleavy bets on Butler, hoping that the deal would bring the team back to the playoffs.

He did it. Before Butler joined, the Warriors won 25 and lost 26; after he joined, the team immediately achieved 14 wins in 16 games. In the last 31 games of the regular season, the Warriors, with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Butler as the core, scored 23 wins and 8 losses, ranking third in the league during the same period.

While Kumingga was absent from a sprained right ankle, the Warriors achieved a record of 13 wins and 2 losses in the game where Butler played. This actually destined the young forward. The Warriors may have consulted attorneys to start the "divorce" process, with at least three legitimate reasons to support the action.

One of them, they are well aware that Kumingga is eager to get a starting position, but Cole is absolutely impossible to let Kumingga serve as the starting forward ahead of meritorious veterans Green or Butler.

Secondly, Cole could not have Kumingga, Butler and Green form the frontcourt starter, which would lead to offensive congestion, making Curry run like a stumbling game every time he held the ball, and he would have to face the siege of three defenders.

Third, the Warriors and Kumingga spent four years trying to make "outfit" "compatible". Now it will be of no benefit to both parties to repair this relationship.

For Kuminga, integrating into the Warriors has never been easy. He came to the team with uncrafted talents, and the Warriors had dreamed of building his top physical talent into the cornerstone of the future. When he joined, the team reorganized the player development department - the highly respected Jama Mahalalaila was poached from Toronto and Dejan Milojevic was invited from Serbia.

All of this led to the birth of the 2022 NBA championship and also made the so-called "double timeline" strategy seem to have hope of success. But that's not the case. In the Warriors' system, Kumingga has always been out of place.

"There was a man who had been in a similar situation, Paul George, who had just arrived at the Indiana Pacers," An NBA team management told the NBCS, "When he first arrived at the Pacers, the team was in the upward phase. Danny Granger was the starter and Lance Stephenson was on the team. In the end, he was able to fight alongside David West and strive for the championship."

"But that was the perfect environment for Paul. The Pacers are not a big market team, but they are a good team. He gained room for growth in the team's championship, and because of the overall situation of the team, many of his mistakes were not infinitely amplified like Kumingga's mistakes."

George played as a substitute in the rookie season, became the starter in the second season, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals with the Pacers in the third season, and was selected as the All-Star and was elected as the fastest-progress player.

The difference is that when George entered the NBA at the age of 20, he had started for two seasons at Fresno State; while Kumingga had only started in the Development League Ignition team in 13 games before joining the NBA. The two of them are in completely different environments, their growth trajectories are very different, and the final results are also very different.

Back to the Warriors' current dilemma, the responsibility needs to be shared by the management, coaching staff and Kumingga himself.

But last season, Butler brought the improvement to the Warriors was exactly what they had expected Kumingga to achieve in the fourth season. After two heavy signings from the Lacob era, David Lee in 2010 and Kevin Durant in 2016, Jimmy proved that he could take the Warriors to a higher level.

At some point in the next 10 months, Kumingga will leave the Warriors. By then, all parties will understand that for Butler's "present", they sacrificed Kumingga's "future" in Golden State. As for whether to blame Jimmy, it depends on yourself.
