@BrettSiegelNBA Does he not play the next few weeks to avoid injury? Does that hurt his value?

Jonathan Kuminga's time with the Warriors is coming to an end, and he is expected to generate a fair amount of interest around the league upon becoming trade eligible on Jan. 15.
Latest words on Kuminga, as well as a 3-team trade scenario involving the Dubs forward:
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
Which All-Stars and big names will be on the move before this season's trade deadline? Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, Anthony Davis have been involved in the latest rumors, so we have some new intel and trade hypotheticals for you at @ClutchPoints: clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…

@mickey_fauvelle @MrWiedrick People who say nba is all one on one or all pick and roll are not watching games. Just look at warriors first possession how much movement and intricate.
Golden State Warriors@warriors
The greatest show in sports.

@Top100Rick Therefore you can lower/raise your hcp by the tees you play. I assume the shorter tees are rated much lower.
English

So what did I shoot from the front tees, 5200 yards, as an 8 hcp?
83 lol. Very normal round I would shoot from 6500 yards.
I kept getting into trouble off the tee. I played aggressive with driver, but a lot of trouble is in play and I didn’t plan well enough. Took some penalties. The course is much tighter, the wide landing spots often weren’t there.
Was green high off the tee on 4 par 4’s, but only birdied one. Short game is the same no matter the tee.
Missed the fairway on 3 of the par 5’s, which meant layups and lost the distance advantage.
Also a few holes I couldn’t take driver due to cross hazards, so basically gained no approach advantage.
I could definitely go low from those tees, but it’s golf, you gotta plan and execute.
Will definitely try it again!

@HpEazzzy @LouStagner Assuming you can shoot the same score from back tee. The yardage difference doesn’t match up with rating difference
English

@LouStagner So you’re saying playing the white tees is actually hurting my index?

@BrandonTierney Step 1. Get youth sports including HS off ESPN and ABC.
English

So many elements of youth sports are flat-out broken. Kids chasing max velo all winter, hitters chasing launch angle. Too many kids abandoning other sports to specialize in one.
Too many ill-informed trainers selling uninformed parents things they can't deliver.
Howie Rose@HowieRose
Tommy John before he’s out of high school. They’re already broken by the time they get to the big leagues.

@LouStagner Hey Lou do you have data or a table showing net 18 hole scores and how often you should shoot them? Like how often +2 or -5 for example. Thank you.

@LouStagner Can the PGA form a rules committee and adopt their own rules?

Shane Lowry, a Two-Shot Penalty, and the Absurdity of Golf’s Rules
Today we all know that Shane Lowry received a two-shot penalty. His ball moved ever so slightly after he took a practice swing in the rough. It didn’t roll forward. It didn’t come to rest in a better position. It didn’t offer any kind of advantage. But because the rules say movement equals penalty, the officials had no choice.
By the strict definition of the rule, the call was correct. But this is where golf's rules become divorced from common sense. What happened to Lowry should not be a penalty. There needs to be space in the rulebook for judgment. If the movement of the ball gave no benefit, there should be no consequence.
The "No Subjectivity" Defense
Some people will argue that subjectivity cannot be allowed. They will say players will cheat if given the chance. That argument falls apart pretty quickly.
Golf already includes plenty of subjective moments. Players make judgment calls all the time. For example, when a ball crosses into a penalty area, the player must decide exactly where it last crossed the margin. That is hard to know precisely. But somehow, we live with those gray areas and keep playing. The game survives.
Golf also takes enormous pride in its culture of honesty. Players are trusted to call penalties on themselves. We hear this all the time. Golfers are different, they say. Golfers play with integrity, they say. But then we are told that we cannot trust a player or an official to decide if a one-millimeter oscillation in deep rough had any effect on the shot? That logic doesn’t hold.
The “Gotcha” Culture
Too often, the rules feel less like guardrails and more like traps. It is as if there is always a USGA or R&A official hiding behind a tree, just waiting to jump out and yell, “Gotcha!” The rules can be so technical and inflexible that they lose sight of what really matters.
The deeper problem is structural. The USGA and R&A are self-appointed governing bodies. They have no competition. They can operate however they choose. That is the nature of a monopoly.
When there is no pressure to evolve, the result is rules like the one that penalized Lowry. No competitive gain. No intent to cheat. Still, two shots added to the card.
A Better Way Forward
To be clear, I am not hoping for more division in professional golf. I am not cheering for chaos. While I am not a fan of how LIV fractured the sport, I do think there is room for change elsewhere.
I would support the creation of a new governing body. One that understands the difference between a technical infraction and a meaningful one. One that can bring a modern, thoughtful approach to the rules. One that follows science. What happened to Shane Lowry should not be a penalty. Any reasonable observer can see that.
The game deserves rules that reflect the way it is actually played. This is not about weakening standards. It is about applying fairness and logic.
Because what happened today was not fair.
It was just foolish.
