On the Dubs Talk podcast, I asked Kerr about Kuminga’s agent saying there’s been “years of confusion” about Kuminga’s role.

Kerr replied, “I think his agent misspoke, frankly.”

Hear the whole answer where Kerr spells out Kuminga’s situation clearly: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Speaking of Gui, he has a Brazillian camera crew following him this season to do a feature on him. Word is they’ll visit him monthly for a program detailing his NBA season. He’s a big deal.

I keep repeating “Skinstown Ballyragget” to myself

Apologies to the people who followed me in a starter pack for basketball. I like houses.

I didn’t know the interview was out yet, where did you see it? And thank you 😊

Al Horford on how seriously he considered retiring: “Not at all.”

Kerr on his defense this season: “Point of attack is probably the biggest thing for us this year, because we have a lot of great help behind the play with Draymond and Jimmy and Al. I think Moses will again take that role, which he did so well after the (Jimmy) trade…really hounding the ball.”

My commentary here…if you think you’ve heard Kerr say this exact stuff before about (and directly to) Kuminga…you have.

This is the start of season five for JK.

Kerr outlines what Kuminga can do this season for a larger role: “The more he can defend with activity, rebound, run the floor, the better chance he has to play. Everybody progresses at a different rate, things can take time to click, but those are the things I’m going to continue to ask of him.”

Dunleavy on Kerr’s contract: “We’ll see at the end of the year. Personally, selfishly, I want Steve back and want him here for a long time…we’re not too concerned about it. I hope he’s here beyond this year.”

Mike Dunleavy on whether Kuminga wants to be here: “That’s a better question for him, but by all accounts, I think he wants to be here because he signed the contract.”

BREAKING: Sources confirm to @nbcswarriors.bsky.social that Jonathan Kuminga is signing a two-year, $48.5 million contract with a team option on the second year to return to the Warriors

Regarding Kerr’s contract, he said, “I think it makes sense for the organization and me to see where this thing is at the end of the year.” Said he loves his job, and gave reporters the impression the conversation will be organic, happening whenever it happens.

Kerr said he’s still questioning if Draymond will primarily start at the 4 or the 5, then there’s a domino effect that will piggyback on that.

Kerr on Kuminga’s unresolved contract: “I never begrudge any player for trying to get the best contract he can…how it gets there can be messy. I’m not worried about any of that.”

“It’s cool Cathy, I made my own league.” Just…baller.

Great point. The W’s stars won’t be out of sight, out of mind during CBA negotiations because most of them will be playing in Unrivaled.

I don’t know! It’s so much fun. 3x3, the conditioning is insane

Shout out to Phee for saying this stuff for others who can’t. She’s a champ, she has her footing in the league, she’s more financially fine than others…that’s a leader who speaks up and takes the risk with a direct shot at the commissioner.
