Steve Kerr and Kevon Looney shared some thoughts on Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody as the rookie contract extension deadline looms.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga looks on during the first half of a preseason NBA basketball game against the Detroit Pistons, Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024, in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors held an extra long practice session Sunday, with extended scrimmages and a detailed film review. Steve Kerr considered it the team’s last day of training camp. With the regular season beginning on Wednesday in Portland, the Warriors will take two easy practice days leading up to it.
Kerr doesn’t envy Dunleavy and the job of a general manager. As general manager of the Suns from 2007 to 2010, Kerr has experience negotiating contracts and talking with agents. But he doesn’t miss it. Just as Golden State must decide if it wants to commit, the players have to decide if this is where they want to be long-term, too.
It’s a major decision for both, and certainly not a clear-cut one. Kevon Looney, a veteran presence in Golden State’s locker room, said his message to the young forwards would be to control what they can control.“When you do the right things, play the right way and go out there with a mindset to win, usually things take care of themselves,” Looney said. “Good thing that JK and Moses are two of the most professional guys I know. For being that young, they carry themselves really well.
From the Warriors’ perspective, maintaining in-season roster flexibility is a priority. But, at the right price, any club would want to commit to their homegrown players. They have a history of doing so. “With Kevin, I think Kevin belongs in the NBA,” Kerr said. “He’s a really good player. And obviously has been in the league for a while. He’s got a chance to get back in. And I think he can play and really build a career. He’s got to decide what he wants to do from here after we waived him. If it doesn’t work out elsewhere, we’d love to have him back in Santa Cruz, but that’ll be his decision.”
