Golden State Warriors Receive: F Jae Crowder, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIL via HOU)
Phoenix Suns Receive: G/F Eric Gordon, F KJ Martin
Houston Rockets Receive: F Jonathan Kuminga
In fact, by merely suggesting that someone has potential, you’re making another implication: they aren’t ready yet.
If they were, you wouldn’t say they had potential – you’d say they were good. Frankly, that isn’t something we can say about Jonathan Kuminga yet.
We couldn’t say it for fellow Warriors prospect James Wiseman, either. That’s not a knock on either player. They’re simply young and ill-prepared.
However, that may partly explain the Warriors’ disappointing 11-10 record.

By contrast, we wouldn’t describe many players on the Phoenix Suns as having potential – these guys are simply good. If you need proof, look at their 14-6 record. The Suns are built to win now.
Does this deal help them do so?
