Average of 15 points per game was abandoned in the playoffs! It s all Butler s fault, the maximum salary is gone, it s hard to keep the Warriors or go to the basketball team
On May 1st, I wish you a happy Labor Day. There will be many friends going on a trip today, but it is estimated that the highway will be very congested today. Friends who are resting at home can take a look at today's two games. It can be said that the value of the two playoffs today is not inferior to the opening game of the NBA, the Rockets vs. the Warriors, the Lakers vs. the Timberwolves. If the Lakers or the Rockets lose, they will be eliminated. Both teams are at home and they will also do their best.
Judging from the competition between these four teams, to be honest, the biggest feeling I feel is not the difference between the players themselves, but the difference between the coaches. Cole is obviously stronger than Redick and Uduka. At the end of the regular season, Lakers fans said that Redick was the next Riley, but they didn't know that he could lead the top three in the Western Conference. He also had two coaches, McMillan and Brooks, who had served as head coaches. Both of them were senior coaches, and they gave Redick a lot of advice.
In the playoffs, Redick also showed his shortcomings. G4 in the series was not rotated in the second half, and the lead was double digits, and the players lost the game. After falling behind their opponents 1-2, Redick was obviously panicked. Uduka's lineup rotation is also very stubborn. The team has no shooter and opponents have been shrinking their defense. He is still unwilling to give Jabarry Smith and Shepard more opportunities, and even Holiday Jr. is not on the way. He insists on his eight-player rotation. He was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Cole in the finals, and now the past is reappearing.
Although Cole was criticized for rotating in the regular season, he proved his ability in the playoffs. The Rockets are strong inside. Do he dare to use Post, and does Redick dare to use Ryan? No one said it could work, but how can I know if I don’t try it. Cole still dares to abandon Kumingga. You should know that Kumingga was once the third leader of the Warriors in the regular season. As a result, Cole said that if he didn't, he wouldn't use it. This is equivalent to asking Redick to abandon Xiaoli. Does he dare? I don't think I dare, even if Xiaoli is treated as an ATM.
This is the ability of the champion coach, and Cole proved himself, and the Warriors also made good results. I'm afraid that only Kumingga is unhappy in the team. He is a restricted free agent in the offseason, and his performance in the playoffs this season will directly affect his possibility of winning a big contract. As a result, he is now abandoned most of the time. Except for Butler's injury and absence, Cole will not use him at all. Cole has also explained this, for fear of affecting Butler's performance.
This is indeed proven in the regular season. During the regular season cooperation between Kumingga and Butler, the two led the second lineup together, because Butler is the core of the team's second lineup and the ball needs to be controlled by him, but Kumingga takes the ball and just goes solo. If you can play stably on the offensive end, Kumingga is not stable on the offensive end, has no shooting ability, and often makes low-level mistakes, which completely affects Butler's leading rhythm. It is better not to have Kumingga, so Cole abandoned him.
In the regular season, Kumingga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and he averaged 24 minutes per game to win such data. The excellent data even made Kumingga look up to him at one point. He thought he was worthy of the maximum salary renewal. The Warriors boss was optimistic about Kumingga and believed that he was the future of the team. Therefore, the management had considered giving him a contract renewal with an average salary of 30 million yuan. Kumingga didn't want it and thought that he was worth at least 35 million yuan, or even worth a super maximum salary. In desperation, the Warriors gave up on the renewal.
The reason why he was able to play 15+ per game at the Warriors was more because Cole did not have any cards in his hand. No one except Curry could score with the ball, so Kumingga was reused. Now Butler doesn't need him anymore. Moreover, such a player who often makes low-level mistakes is a taboo in the playoffs, so Cole abandoned him. Judging from the current situation, both Butler and Curry both have super maximum salary, and Kuminga's style of play conflicts with Butler. In this case, the Warriors are likely not to renew his contract.
In the offseason, Kumingga is likely not to stay with the Warriors. Although the boss likes him, everyone has seen the current situation. He cannot adapt to Cole's system, and there is no big contract for him. In this case, he is likely to join a team that is willing to give him opportunities and big contracts. Now, the only team that has sufficient salary space and is willing to train young players is the Nets. Previously, the US media also reported that the Nets are interested in Kumingga and Joshgidi, and they have sufficient salary space to sign two people.
Of course, the Nets have more choices in the offseason. It is reported that they will also try to chase Antetokounmpo. The Bucks' defeat this season has already disappointed the letters. According to famous reporter Shams, the letters and management plan to meet after the season to discuss the future of both sides. Lillard was seriously injured and the team had multiple garbage contracts. It is difficult for the Bucks to operate. The Nets are in the big market with sufficient salary space and attractiveness. Perhaps the letters will be interested. If they don't get the letters, the Nets may also settle for the second best and chase these two people in the 21st class.
Speaking of this, what do you want to say about Kumingga now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
