I want to take opportunity to apologize to Steve Kerr and the Warriors because good lord you guys were right. This dude STINKS. I really hope the Hawks don’t pick up Kuminga’s option this offseason. Spend the money elsewhere

Receipts
What the room said about Jonathan Kuminga, verbatim: the highest-scoring comments in each class.
Exhibit 01Negative.ATL flair Exhibit 02Negative.ATL flair “Kuminga is the nastiest skank b*tch I have ever met. Do not trust him, he is a fugly slut.”
Exhibit 03Negative.GSW flair I’ve never seen a team so stubborn about a mid ass player, like I’m genuinely so fucking tired of it. This season is a loss, playing Kuminga more won’t increase his value, as he will never develop here. Just get fucking anything for “potential man” at this point, like fucking hell.
