Kuminga’s Sincere Response to Klay Leaving the Golden State, as told by Jonathan

The Bay’s next season will see Jonathan Kuminga without his mentor, Klay Thompson, and Kuminga has opened up about his feelings about Klay’s exit.

For months, there were rumors that Thompson was going to leave Golden State, and when he signed with Dallas in free agency, it finally occurred.

After joining the Warriors as a rookie from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kuminga spent three seasons with Klay.

Although Klay’s absence will be felt, the rising star claims he hasn’t lost contact.

“I was a little taken aback. When I was originally chosen, Klay took me under his wing, Kuminga said to ESPN. “When I was out there, he served as one of my role models. He used to tell me things like how the league operated. And as everyone in the league knows, you can wake up one day and find yourself somewhere else. Simply said, everything moves more quickly.

“In the end, I’m pleased for him. He makes every choice with his own interests and future in mind. I still have conversations with him and ask him questions about many aspects of life. But things are as they are.

Mike Dunleavy, general manager of the Dubs, recently discussed the team’s intentions for adjusting to life without one of its most cherished characters.

According to Dunleavy, “I think it’s keeping a lot of the things that we’ve done over the years and some of the continuity.” Many of those things won’t alter. Evidently, occasionally, certain cases do, and in this instance, a sizable one. However, we’re thrilled about the youthful bunch we have, including some players we’ve added and a couple guys who are here today that we think can fit in. That’s just the natural way that organizations and teams work.
