Summer dominant players party rejected by Kuminga! Butler: I like him and am his number one fan

Recently, Warriors reporter Anthony Slater wrote about how the Warriors and the team's veterans dealt with some of the difficult problems that arose in Kuminga.

Kuminga contacted Jimmy Butler in mid-September when he was attending an event in Marbella, Spain.

At that time, Butler originally organized a player-led party, planned to be held at his home in San Diego the following week. The veterans want everyone to be there, especially Kuminga. Butler plans to take him to practice alone, believing in both his character and his basketball talent.

"I like him very much. I know he has fans, but I am his number one fan. Because he has all the hardware conditions to become great, he just needs someone to teach him how to use these talents." Butler said.

Kuminga called Butler to inform him that contract extension negotiations with the Warriors were still stalled and that he would not be going to San Diego. His relationship with the team was too unstable, too uncertain.

"Brother, it's okay. You have to make the best choice for yourself. I understand the situation you're in. I don't think anyone on the team has a problem with you. I support you. I see a lot of who I used to be in you." Butler recalled what he said to Kuminga at the time.
