Jonathan Cumminga’s agent tags Mark Cuban with a sneaky response to Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Once again, the Golden State Warriors are returning to Jonathan Cumminga rollercoaster. Now that Jimmy Butler is out for the season with a torn right ACL, Cummings, who hasn’t played in 16 straight games, was thrust back into Steve Kerr’s rotation Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors.

Although Golden State lost the game 145-127, snapping a season-long four-game winning streak, Kuminga showed up in a big way with 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor in 21 minutes off the bench.

Even after Kerr decided to sit his young power forward for more than a month, Kuminga remained fit and raised many eyebrows not only in San Francisco on Tuesday night, but across the NBA with the trade deadline roughly two weeks away.

Kuminga and his camp were not ashamed expressing his displeasure with the Warriorsas was very clear last offseason that the former lottery pick wanted a change of scenery. Cummings’ agent, Aaron Turner of Verus Basketball, previously expressed his frustration with the Warriors on social media and took a moment after Tuesday’s game to be answered Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s recent comments about his client.

“Demand is sensitive to price or playing time,” Turner wrote in a post in which he tagged former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and former two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo. “So if the seller sees that demand is low, lower the price or let them play and the demand will pass⬆#IUEconomicsMajor #Nationalchamps.”

Oladipo is another of Turner’s clients, as both attended Indiana University.

The social media comment came hours after Dunleavy held a press conference to discuss Butler’s season-ending injury and Cummings’ role moving forward. When asked about Kuminga and his agent’s trade request from the team, Dunleavy made his and the Warriors’ position very clear: “When you make a demand, the demand has to be there.”

Although he returned to the rotation without Butler, the marriage between Kuminga and the Warriors appeared to be long over. Whether there is a market for him before this season’s trade deadline and whether the Dubs can find a trade that gives them the value they need to remain a contender this season are the big questions facing this organization over the next two weeks.

While this relationship between Kuminga and the Warriors is clearly fractured beyond the point of repair, he will be a key weapon for Kerr to use off the bench for now.
