Jimmy Butler's arrival in Golden State could play a major role in Jonathan Kuminga's future with the team this summer

Prior to the NBA trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat, and then promptly extended the six-time All-Star with a new two-year deal.

At the time, the team had been without Jonathan Kuminga since Jan. 4, when the young standout rolled his ankle just 15 minutes into Golden State's eventual win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Since acquiring Jimmy Butler, the team has posted a 22-6 record, climbing to No. 6 in the Western Conference standings.

Although Kuminga wound up returning to action in mid-March, the team has posted a 9-5 record in games where he's played. On Thursday, Warriors coach Steve Kerr spoke with members of the press about the team, stating plainly that lineups with Butler, Kuminga and Draymond Green simply don't work.

With a net rating of -24.9 when the trio are on the court together, and a lack of spacing, Kerr has been left to figure out how to best utilize the trio of players.

While a playoff berth seems to be on the horizon for the team, the fact of the matter is that Butler's arrival has cut into Kuminga's playing time. Given that, only time will tell what the future has in store for Kuminga, who is set to become a restricted free agent this summer.
