At this point, the Golden State Warriors are wringing Stephen Curry dry. It’s evident that the superstar guard barely has support on the floor, and the team doesn’t seem prepared for a Curry-less era, let alone a championship run. Players, especially the youngsters, lack consistency and the necessary development. And to save the Dubs from another heartbreaking season, former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins has an urgent demand of the front office.

“Can the Warriors hurry up and trade Jonathan Kuminga?” Big Perk said on the Road Trippin‘ Show. “Look, the Warriors are doing a disservice to Steph Curry right now. Real talk.”

Curry is averaging 28+ points per game. He’s having a phenomenal season at 37. However, the Dubs’ win percentage in the West remains at 0.537, with a 22-19 record.

According to Perkins, Curry is putting up with all the “b——-” happening on the team.

The analyst went ahead, pointing out the latest events, including Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Draymond Green’s ejections, Jimmy Butler’s unpredictable performance, and poor player development.

“Steph said it himself, ‘Our window is closing,'” Perkins continued, giving the Dubs a reality check. “Can the Warriors do something? Maybe a Michael Porter Jr. Can you go do something? Add pieces. Get younger and be able to help Steph go and compete for a title.”

Speaking of the Warriors pursuing MPJ, well, the front office apparently “checked in with the Nets on Michael Porter Jr.,” insider Evan Sidery informed earlier in December 2025. But as you know, the Nets don’t seem too keen to trade the 27-year-old forward unless they are really getting some benefit out of it.

However, adding an explosive offensive player like Porter Jr. would only help Stephen Curry. His shot creation could boost lineups when the veteran rests.

Meanwhile, the Warriors forward Kuminga will be trade-eligible on Thursday, January 15. So maybe the front office should actually take the advice of legends like Kendrick Perkins and trade the youngster to end their troubles.

The Golden State Warriors might be close to trading Jonathan Kuminga

Kuminga’s future with the Warriors has been a mystery for the NBA community. Once, Kerr said he would love to coach the 23-year-old much more than he was at the time. Well, things have changed ever since. Some even believe that the coach and the forward haven’t seen eye to eye in a long time.

Meanwhile, NBA insider Michael Scotto reported on the No Dunks podcast that Kuminga will likely have a change of scenery. The trade market is heating up around him. The Sacramento Kings have been the steadiest suitor, previously testing the waters with a proposal centered on a protected first-round pick during the summer, though that framework has since gone cold.

Kuminga also seems to have other suitors, including New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago, and Portland.

Through 18 games, Stephen Curry’s teammate is averaging 11.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, while shooting 43.1% from the field and 32% from deep.

The Warriors had signed Kuminga to a two-year, $46.8 million extension in October, before the current season began. The deal included the front office giving him a $24.3 million team option for 2026-27 and a 15% trade bonus, thus signaling a future move.

You can’t deny it.

This feels like the loudest warning bell yet. Curry keeps carrying the team forward while patience wears thin inside the building. It’s been that way for at least a year now…

Therefore, Perkins’ plea echoes urgency. They must decide Kuminga’s future amid another season slipping away quietly.
