“No Kuminga, No Curry” – Blockbuster Trade Season

 

According to an exclusive source from ESPN, Curry had a 2-hour closed-door meeting with GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. and head coach Steve Kerr after the bitter defeat in the play-in. There, he did not hesitate to put pressure on: “Kuminga is the future of the team. I need him by my side to continue fighting.”

 

This move is said to be a response to the fact that Kuminga – who made his mark with an impressive performance in the 2023-24 season (16.1 points/5.8 rebounds) – has not yet been extended a long-term contract by the team. Experts say the Warriors are facing a difficult problem: Spend a lot of money to keep the young talent (expected 4 years/90 million USD) or face the risk of losing Curry as well.

 

 

Fans Panic: “Don’t Let History Repeat!”

 

 

On social media, the hashtag #KeepKumingaOrLoseCurry exploded after just a few hours. Many fans recalled the disaster in 2016 when the Warriors let Kevin Durant leave and then got bogged down for 3 years. “Curry is making it clear: He doesn’t want to waste the final years of his career rebuilding from scratch” – former player Charles Barkley commented on TNT.

 

However, the Warriors are hesitant. “We respect Steph’s opinion, but we have to consider both luxury tax and long-term strategy” – an anonymous source revealed.

 

 

“Earthquake” Scenario If Curry Leaves

 

 

Bookies have given a 1:3 ratio for the possibility of Curry playing for another team in the 2025-26 season if Kuminga leaves. Top candidates include:

– Charlotte Hornets (Curry’s hometown, where his father, Dell Curry, plays)

– San Antonio Spurs (a team lacking a leader and with Victor Wembanyama)

– Miami Heat (with the Butler-Adebayo duo in need of a long-range “killer”)

 

Earthquake Prediction: If Curry leaves the Warriors, the team’s NASDAQ stock price is expected to fall by at least 25%, according to Bloomberg.
