The Warriors are on a five-game winning streak and are firmly in the top six in the West. For the Warriors, they may go one step further, as Kuminga, who has performed well this season, will return in the next game against the Kings, and Kuminga has been very good this season, averaging close to 17+5 per game, which is the best season of his career.

Butler had not joined the Warriors when Kuminga was injured, and the Warriors are a new environment at present, and Butler's improvement of the team after joining the Warriors is visible to the naked eye. Butler only lost one game last time, so Kerr didn't want to destroy some of the effects that Butler had on the Warriors. Kerr was a little worried that Kuminga's return would affect Butler's style of play to a certain extent, so he expressed his thoughts to Kuminga in advance, believing that this team revolves around Curry and Butler, and Kuminga will have to find a way to adapt next.

This also means that after Kuminga's return, he will still be the team's third offensive option, so he must correct his mentality, not fight for the ball with Butler, and not get too caught up in his own singles on the court. Because his positions with Butler still overlap relatively closely, it is possible that Kerr will put Kuminga on the bench next. In this way, he and Butler rarely appear at the same time, after all, there is some overlap in the functions of the two men.

The Warriors have yet to complete a contract extension with Kuminga, and they are still watching to see where Kuminga can improve. Kuminga has certainly improved significantly on the scoring end this year, but his leadership skills, his vision on the court, and some basketball IQ don't seem to have improved much. That's why the Warriors have been slow to offer him a big contract. For Kuminga, his survival space may be very narrow in the future, because Moody's performance is also very good at the moment, Podzemski's form has also recovered, and the arrival of Butler has further squeezed Kuminga's possession. It is possible that Kuminga will be thinking about leaving the Warriors and going to another team in the offseason. I wonder what the fans think?
