Episode notes
Road Trip Was Damage Control
- The Warriors survived a grueling six-game road trip and finished 3-3, moving to 9-8 overall.
- Marcus Thompson and Tim Kawakami view that outcome as acceptable given fatigue, injuries, and schedule difficulty.
Team Still Needs Another Rotation Piece
- Both hosts agree the Warriors need an additional rotation-level player to truly improve.
- They see Jonathan Kuminga as the most plausible internal piece who could be traded or reoriented to fill that need.
Kuminga Vs. Podziemski Fit Tradeoff
- Kuminga's presence changes offensive flow: he can save bad nights but also disrupt ball movement.
- Tim Kawakami notes Pajemski fits the system cleaner while Kuminga offers higher upside with risk.
