Annual salary of 59.6 million, I regret to say goodbye to this season! The lonely super giant in the NBA, it is difficult for you to win the championship again

This season, the NBA playoffs reached the finals stage. The two young teams, the Thunder and the Pacers, fought for the championship. The Thunder had a significant advantage in strength. Although the Pacers eliminated the Bucks, Cavaliers and Knicks in the first three rounds, on the finals stage, although 6-7 players were the norm, if they lacked super scoring points, it was indeed difficult to match the Thunder's offense. Halliburton had a big heart, but lacked stability. Teams that have ended their journey this season are brewing reinforcement operations this summer. Antetokounmpo is willing to stay with the Bucks, and the Bucks have not completely given up on next season, even if Lillard is likely to be reimbursed in advance. The Lakers showed strong interest in Capela, Lopez, and Adams, with the goal of strengthening the inside and meeting Doncic's playing style requirements. Although the Clippers ended in the first round of the playoffs, Harden's contract renewal became the key, in addition, the Clippers also became interested in Durant, including Brogdon, Smart and Clarkson, which may become the option for the team to pursue during the offseason. The Spurs are holding various bargaining chips and the golden signboard of Wenban Yama, so they are naturally not panicked. Durant also clearly expressed his desire to join the Spurs. For the two super giants in the East, the Celtics broke up the team and rebuilt it to a foregone conclusion, and the team was unable to support $500 million in spending; the Cavaliers also put Allen and Garland on the shelves. Although this lineup is already the number one in the East, the playoff limit is too low, and Mitchell is fighting alone and lacks help. In the entire league, there seems to be only one team "obscurity", that is, the Warriors. It is indeed a pity that the Warriors were eliminated this season, especially the team leader Curry. Because the team lost three games that should not be lost in the last five games of the regular season (losing to the Rockets and being defeated by the Spurs, including losing to the Clippers in the final game), they fell to the seventh place in the West, playing the Rockets with the strongest impact in the first round. Although they were difficult to win the tiebreak battle, Curry averaged 38.4 minutes per game in this round of series, including the G5's only played 23 minutes, which was too heavy. In the second round of the Timberwolves, Curry only lasted for 13 minutes and scored 13 points, and suffered a hamstring injury. Although the Warriors won in G1, Curry did not lose four games in a row and was unfortunately eliminated! Boss Ragb said that if Curry stays healthy, we will definitely have hope to play to the Western Conference Finals. The arrival of Butler has allowed the Warriors to climb from 11th in the Western Conference in the regular season to 4th in the Western Conference. Of course, Butler in the regular season averaged 17.9 points and 6 assists per game, and his data is very average. He thought he could make a strong appearance in the playoffs. But in the playoffs, Butler averaged 19 points and 5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 44% + 30% in both events. Without Curry, Butler could not carry the team to the Finals like he did in 23 years. Regarding the Warriors' playoff performance, there are three sets of data that are worth pondering. First, Curry's playoff offensive victory contribution value +4.4 is the second in the league; the overall victory contribution value +3.9 is the sixth in the league! Butler's offensive contribution value in the playoffs +1.6, ranked 25th in the league; defensive contribution value -1.4, ranked 130th in the league; overall contribution value +0.2, ranked 44th in the league.

naturally cannot fall behind the third giant Zhu Mengmeng Green, with a defensive contribution value of +2.5, a league in the first place, an offensive contribution value of -3.6, a league in 140, an overall contribution value of -1.1, and a league in 70. After the Warriors were eliminated, from boss Ragbu to general manager Dunleavy Jr., they all said that the team will continue to strengthen the lineup around the Big Three and will not change easily. But how can they do it? In the words of Bay Area media, the Warriors really hope to continue to work with Payton and Looney, whose contract expires this summer, but hope they can cut their salary and renew their contracts! In addition, the Warriors' biggest bargaining chip is Kumingga. If you sign first and then exchange, you can directly support the salary space, and the subsequent strengthening will only be the basic salary signer. But the biggest helplessness is that Curry earns $59.61 million next season, the league's number one!

No problem, this is what Curry deserves. He has increased the market value of the Warriors by more than ten times in 10 years and led the Warriors to establish a dynasty. But Butler still has a salary of $54.13 million, and Green also has a salary of $25.9 million. Butler is 36 years old in the offseason. He only played 55 games in the regular season this season, and he is already powerless in the playoffs. After his age increases by one year next season, the decline in efficiency and data is almost a sure fact. Zhu Meng Green will be 36 years old next season, and Curry will be 38 years old. The three of them form the three centenarians! What can I get by signing and exchanging Kumingjia? The best ending is that the Nets are willing to eat him and send a forward line of Johnson, but the Warriors starters Butler and Green are both offensive burdens.

In the words of US media, there is only Curry in the entire league, and there are no helpers around him. Butler is a super giant, but he is indeed old! The Warriors' Big Three will earn 140 million next season, and Hilde and Moody's salary will exceed 20 million. The operating space is too small. Even if you can get high-quality helpers, it will not change the problem of serious aging of the core framework. Even Curry is still at the peak of his career! The Warriors got Butler and did see hope for a championship briefly, but it was all based on Curry. Curry is no longer young, and it is indeed difficult to win the championship at the end of his career.
