Draymond Green Raises Big Concern Over Jonathan Kuminga's Timberwolves Move
Draymond Green expressed his main concern about former teammate Jonathan Kuminga's deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Draymond Green, a former teammate of Jonathan Kuminga, has expressed concern over the Minnesota Timberwolves' decision to sign the 23-year-old former Golden State Warriors star. Kuminga joined the Timberwolves last offseason after being traded from the Atlanta Hawks, signing a two-year contract worth $12.4 million. Green warned that Kuminga may face difficulties if the Timberwolves' starting lineup struggles, as a $6.5 million salary in the NBA often equates to a bench role.
Green compared Kuminga's situation to that of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has an elite contract despite facing pressure from younger players. Minnesota remains a playoff contender, thanks to its elite star Anthony Edwards and recent acquisition of LaMelo Ball, who bolstered the backcourt. Kuminga's move could provide him with a significant starting role, as he started in 46 games during his final season with the Warriors and averaged a career-high 16.1 points per game.
