"Hell naw, trade him now": Warriors fans roast Jonathan Kuminga donning buzz cut amid trade rumors

Jonathan Kuminga is making headlines after reports of his unhappiness with the Golden State Warriors and losing faith in coach Steve Kerr. Kuminga recently showed up to the Warriors game on Friday with a new haircut, and Warriors fans immediately roasted the young player.

Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported that Kuminga has had enough of Kerr's rotation following his 19-minute outing against the Denver Nuggets. He was playing great and helped build an 18-point lead before getting pulled out.

The Nuggets fought back with Andrew Wiggins on the floor, and Kuminga was on the bench for the final 18 minutes. It was a disastrous fourth quarter for Golden State as Nikola Jokic hit a 40-foot buzzer-beater to win it for the defending champions.

Amid reports of his unhappiness in Golden State and rumors of a potential trade, Kuminga showed up on Friday with a buzz cut. He revealed it during the shootaround after removing his hoodie:

Fans immediately went off on Jonathan Kuminga's new haircut, making fun of the Golden State Warriors youngster. One fan wrote:

"Oh hell naw, trade him now."

Another commented:

"Kuminga needs to fire his barber."

One fan probably went too far:

"Ain't nothin fresh about that hairline, respectfully. Good thing is I heard there are great barbers in Toronto and Chicago."

Here are the rest of the memes and reactions on X to Kuminga's buzzcut:

What's next for Jonathan Kuminga?

What's next for Jonathan Kuminga?

Despite the reports on his frustrations with Steve Kerr, the report on Jonathan Kuminga didn't mention anything about a trade request. Kuminga is in his third season, which means he will be eligible for a rookie extension this summer.

The Golden State Warriors have too many problems right now, so it's expected that Kuminga will be in the trade rumors until the deadline.

The front office could attach Kuminga to big contracts of Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson or Draymond Green in a potential trade. They could add another star like Pascal Siakam or make a smaller deal and add size.

Steph Curry is playing too good right now to not make the playoffs. It's already January and possibly too late for Thompson and Wiggins to get it going. The Western Conference is stacked, and every game counts.
