00:00Golden State certainly is kind of the beginning of the end for them.

00:04They're in win-now mode.

00:05You know, Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, let's keep it real.

00:08The next two years, they're going to have to get it done.

00:11So players they're looking at, we've heard Herb Jones maybe,

00:14Nikhil Alexander-Walker is a possibility.

00:17It looks like Kuminga could be one of those sign-and-trade type players.

00:20What do you think's next for the Warriors?

00:23Yeah, they have not that much wiggle room to make things work,

00:26and they have a good trade chip in Kuminga, as we talked about,

00:29but it's the big question of what team out there believes in him,

00:32and then the second part is, does that team have somebody that you value,

00:36or maybe they play a long game.

00:37We saw this with the Warriors a few years ago where they were able to sign

00:40and trade Kevin Durant for D'Angelo Russell and eventually used D'Angelo Russell

00:44for a trade that got them a championship with Andrew Wiggins,

00:47but we didn't get them a championship, but it helped them get there.

00:49So I wouldn't be surprised if they played a long game here

00:52and just get Kuminga somewhere else and they can get some value

00:55and then just, again, this is a trade that precludes another trade,

00:58but the Warriors do not have that much of a margin error,

01:01just given these guys are getting older.

01:03We saw last year how quick it goes down.

01:05Steph Curry goes down on a soft tissue issue,

01:07and then that just kind of ruins their entire playoff run.

01:10So it's interesting when you have an aging team,

01:12you don't have that much room to work with,

01:14so the Warriors are going to have to be very smart with their moves.

01:15Let's keep moving.

01:16Let's move on.

01:18Let's move on.
