0 deals, 0 signings, the Warriors won nothing during the offseason, the core lineup is too old, not far from reconstruction
NBA trading market has been launched for more than a week, and the reinforcement and trading work of each team has entered the final stage. Because the Thunder won the championship last season, coupled with the Pacers core Halliburton and the Eastern Conference's perennial overlord Tatum's Achilles tendon injury directly broke the pattern of the East-West league. Many teams in the East choose to give up the future and win in the present, such as the Magic, four first rounds + one first round swap to get Bain, and signed Tyers Jones, and the team's cap for the new season has been significantly increased. The Rockets and Nuggets both made strong contributions to the West, the Rockets got Durant + Finney Smith + Capela, and the Nuggets got Cameron Johnson + Hardaway Jr. + Bruce Brown. The competition in the Western Conference will definitely be more intense in the new season.
The US media has specially made a set of statistics. Since the trading market opened, there has been only one team in the entire league and no action at all, it is the Warriors. Zhu Meng Green himself sighed on social platforms, saying that the free market this summer is indeed bleak, and the market has never been opened. In fact, only the Warriors are completely trapped. There are three problems with the team: First, the Big Three Group led by Curry + Butler + Green is too old. Curry is at least 38 years old next season, Butler is about to turn 36 years old, and Green is at least 36 years old next season. To the words of Curry's father Dell, the Warriors' window to win the championship is closing! Secondly, when the team is already in a stalemate with Kumingga, it is highly likely that the team will retain Kumingga first in the new season, but they have also lost the best time to strengthen.
After the free market opened this summer, the Warriors officially offered Kumingjia a one-year qualification offer of $7.9 million, and Kumingjia became a restricted free agent. If other teams are unwilling to match the quote, Kumingga will automatically obtain the trade veto and Mingxia can leave directly. If other teams can also offer quotes, if the Warriors can't match, Kumingga will leave too. The main premise is that the market conditions of Kumingga are not good. After the Warriors decided to sign and exchange Kumingga early, they received very little feedback. The King even directly gave a humiliating quote: Devin Carter + Saric + draft pick compensation (second round). Because Kumingga's trade has not been concluded for a long time, they cannot operate to strengthen the team, and the salary space is too limited.
The most embarrassing thing is that the team reporter Slater revealed that according to this situation, Kumingga may eventually reach a compromise contract with the Warriors, and then on December 15 after the start of the new season, the Warriors will continue to try to trade Kumingga. what does that mean? A typical example of losing his wife and losing his troops. First of all, Looney has been signed by the Pelicans, and Payton Jr. is likely to not be able to come back. As early as the Warriors opened the free market, a Bay Area reporter revealed that the Warriors were close to signing Horford, but they dragged on for a week! Then the latest news from the Celtics reporter Hamesbach shows that Horford is still considering various options, including retirement or returning to the Celtics, and the Warriors are just one of them. Then what can Kumingga do if he stays in the team?
Simplely put, Kumingga may be in Cao's camp in the new season, and he is ready to leave again at any time. Does the team still have cohesion? As Curry's father Dell sighed, the Warriors need a sporty big man very much, so they can consider Kumingga or trade him for one. The problem is here. Kumingga has been labeled as being incompatible with "Butler and the team" by the Warriors and Cole. At the same time, Kumingga has no trading market yet. Correspondingly, all operations of the Warriors were signed first and then transferred to the exchange. There are no more options available in the free market. To borrow the Los Angeles media words, even if the Warriors finally get Horford, they are just a senior team and there is no lastingness in the playoffs.
There is no doubt that the Warriors are already the most failed team in the league in the offseason. The team has a current lineup. Curry's salary next season is 59.61 million + Butler's 54.13 million + Green's 25.89 million. The three of them took away a total of 140 million US dollars. The Warriors' lineup has only 11 people, and they no longer have room for operation next. Whether it is Lillard or Bill who is about to buy out, including Melton, there are many players involved with the Warriors, but if you continue to add veterans around the Big Three, the Warriors' ceiling will become lower. Look at the few teams that reached the division finals last season, the Thunder + Pacers + Timberwolves + Knicks, they are all young teams. The last problem is also a potential hidden danger, which comes from Butler.
Butler had a stalemate with the Heat in the first half of the regular season last season, and joined the Warriors in the second half, and played only 30 games. However, the decline in the playoffs can be seen from the naked eye. He can be used as a point of holding the ball, but has lost the explosive power of scoring. The key is that he and the Warriors still have two years and $110 million contract. To put it bluntly, because of Butler's existence, Curry still has no stable second helper role, and he can't even make it per game 20 points. That new season has been a long 82 games, one year older. Can Butler still stick to the playoffs healthily? The Warriors won nothing during the offseason, and the prospects for next season are dim. Curry’s father is indeed right. This Warriors are probably not far from reconstruction.
