The Warriors have decided not to renew Kuminga's contract, and there are fears of internal conflicts in the new season, putting Curry to the test.

The reason the Warriors did not strengthen their roster during this off-season largely stems from unresolved contract issues with Kuminga. Over the past two seasons, Kuminga has been dissatisfied with how the Warriors have utilized him. This discontent carried over into the off-season, where he was quite firm with the management regarding his contract, resulting in the Warriors' recruitment plans falling through. Additionally, the Warriors also lost a key interior player, their three-time champion veteran, Looney.

Thus, the Warriors might head into the new season with an unenhanced roster, and in such a competitive Western Conference, their advantages are not very pronounced. Moreover, the Warriors may face the possibility of internal strife this season. While they want to keep Kuminga on the roster, it seems that Kerr may not give him much playing time, as the relationship appears to have soured. Kuminga is also quite unhappy with Kerr. Therefore, Kuminga's presence on the bench could become a potential flashpoint, possibly affecting the team's internal atmosphere.

That might be the moment when Curry's leadership skills are truly tested. He must assert himself as the veteran leader to calm the younger players. Of course, there is another way for the Warriors to better handle the Kuminga situation this season: Kerr could adjust his coaching philosophy and allow Kuminga to showcase his offensive abilities in the second unit.

The main reason Kerr is reluctant to use Kuminga ultimately boils down to his commitment to his system. Kerr firmly believes that passing is the key to creating good shooting opportunities, which is the most reasonable strategy. However, Kuminga seems to think that a straightforward offensive approach is more direct and effective. Consequently, there are many instances where Kuminga does not execute Kerr's plays, relying instead on his individual abilities.

If Kerr trusts Kuminga more in the new season, allowing him to display his offensive talents in the second unit, it could be a beneficial strategy. If Kuminga can perform well within a few games, both parties would likely be satisfied. Conversely, if he is given several opportunities but performs poorly, Kuminga might feel guilty, which could also serve as a way to resolve the conflicts between them. I wonder what fans think about this?
