The Golden State Warriors were right to trade Jonathan Kuminga. Regardless of who the proverbial finger points to as the source of discontent, the bottom line was that neither Kuminga nor the Warriors wanted to continue with their fractured relationship.
Unfortunately, trading Kuminga also meant parting with the only assertive scorer on the roster not named Jimmy Butler or Stephen Curry.
Golden State has built its roster around Butler and Curry, due in no small part to their history of postseason heroics. Curry is the greatest three-point shooter of all time and a four-time NBA champion, while Butler is a midrange maestro who led the Miami Heat to two NBA Finals appearances.
