The NBA legend deals with the problem of the Big Warriors problem after the playoff elimination

After a year with ups and downs, the Campaign of the Golden State Warriors 2024-25 is officially over. The Warriors lost game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening and ended their series of the second round with a 4-1 defeat.

Of course, the end of the season of the Golden State was largely doomed by Steph Curry's thigh injury to fail, which exposed him 2 to 5 for games, but a surprising light shone through the shadows.

The striker of Warriors, Jonathan Kuminga, became an unexpected star in this second round against Minnesota and entered Curry's absence.

Kuminga was this series of the Golden State with an average of 24.3 points in four games since Curry's injury, while he shot 55.4% off the field and 38.9%.

This happened after Kuminga was fully positioned in three of her seven games in the first round against the Houston Rockets, and many prepared that the Warriors turn their backs around and separate themselves in limited agency in this low season.

After his incredible performance of the second round, however, the feelings of the warriors may have changed. After their defeat in game 5 in game, the NBA legend Charles Barkley honestly ended in this low season about the big decision by Golden State.

“The three old boys make a lot of money, so they are pretty much with them for a few years,” said Barkley. “You have to make a decision about whether you should pay [Kuminga] Or not … he's the only one on the bench that is explosive. With three old guys you can't go to war against the West … they know it better than we do, they didn't expand it. “

In this off -season, the Warriors are at an interesting place with so much money bound with Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler, and Kumingas's value of the Free Agency probably shot up in this series. If Golden State wants to keep him, you may have to go deep into your pockets.
