The Golden State Warriors have opted not to trade young talents Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski, indicating their commitment to nurturing the potential of these players. The decision was underscored when the Warriors declined to include Kuminga in discussions for acquiring Paul George from the Los Angeles Clippers, and likewise refused to part with Podziemski during trade speculations involving Lauri Markkanen.

Kuminga expressed appreciation for the confidence shown by the Warriors' front office, particularly Mike Dunleavy, in young players. He feels that their collective effort—with support from established veterans—positions them well for a promising future, especially as the team moves forward without Klay Thompson and with aging stars like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
