It can be argued that, for several years now, the Golden State Warriors have wasted Stephen Curry\u2019s championship window. They won in 2022, yes, but since then, they have not made any moves in their roster (aside from trading for Jimmy Butler) which signifies that they truly want to go at it again. Heading into the 2025\/26 campaign, the story appears to be the same, something Kevin O\u2019Connor recently spoke about.<\/p>\n
The biggest news coming out of Warriors camp has been the unfortunate saga involving Jonathan Kuminga<\/a>. The Congolese star wants to leave, but Golden State isn\u2019t budging. At least, not without getting something tangible in return. O\u2019Connor is just one of the many people who find it baffling that the two parties cannot come to a solution.<\/p>\n O\u2019Connor also feels that the Warriors aren\u2019t really going \u201call-in\u201d in their pursuit of a championship. The front office maintains that they are. But are they really doing anything to show that?<\/p>\n About Kuminga, the basketball analyst said, \u201cWhy would you want to go to a place that\u2026 they don\u2019t want you? And you don\u2019t want them. So, both sides don\u2019t want each other, you know, they would want to use you as a trade piece mid-season\u2026\u201d O\u2019Connor added that he understood why the Warriors want to hold on to Kuminga until the trade deadline in February, as they hope to get a better deal out of his exit.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the Warriors\u2019 side of things, you\u2019re Stephen Curry saying that all he plays for is a championship right now. The beginning of last season was a disaster. Draymond and Steph aren\u2019t giving their all until they get Jimmy Butler\u2026\u201d O\u2019Connor added<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Warriors ended the regular season on a high note, and without Curry\u2019s hamstring injury, they might have reached the Western Conference Finals as well. But expecting the same level of performance from Curry, Green<\/a>, and Butler<\/a>, all of whom are over 35, would be asking a lot.<\/p>\n
