The Warriors and forward Jonathan Kuminga, on the surface, tried to make their partnership work. Kuminga appeared in 278 games for Golden State, averaged 12.5 points per contest, and left the Bay Area on Wednesday with a 2022 championship ring.

He is now a Hawk, and Golden State coach Steve Kerr was left to reflect on what went wrong with the seventh pick of the 2021 draft.
