Ragnarok? The minimum age is 32 years old, with 6 veterans gathered. Next season may be the last chance to compete for the championship

After Jonathan Kumingga reached an agreement with the Warriors and completed the signing, the Warriors finally made corresponding reinforcements. The main lineup has basically been determined and will launch an attack on the championship next season. However, if you look closely at the lineup of this Warriors, you can only say that it is a bit worrying. After all, the team's six important core members are over 32 years old. This Warriors can be said to be an absolute senior team. Let’s take a look at who these six veterans are, and what are their prospects for next season!

Stephen Curry

Last season's data: 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.1 steals

Current age: 37 years old

First of all, let's talk about the soul of this team, that is, Curry. Curry, who is 37 years old, has two seasons left in the contract. In the eyes of the outside world, there is no big surprise. Curry will announce his retirement after the end of this contract, after all, he is 39 years old by then.

Last season, Curry still outputted 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.1 steals. He is one of the best guards in the league and was finally selected for the All-Season Second Team. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that compared with his peak period, Curry's dominance and restraint have declined a lot, and what's worse is that he began to frequently suffer from injuries, missed 12 games in the regular season, and in the critical semi-finals, he had to say goodbye to the playoffs in advance due to hamstring injuries. Next season, Curry will still be the core figure of this team, but there is a high probability that his condition will fluctuate to a certain extent, which is something that Curry and the Warriors fans have to accept. However, while feeling sorry for Curry, he also needs to cherish it, because he really has to watch one game less.

Jimmy Butler

Last season's data: 17.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals

Current age: 36 years old

Last season, the Warriors made a very important choice, that is, they reached an agreement with the Heat and got Butler. There is no doubt that after this deal, the team has cut off the back path, which determines that they will try their best to win the championship in the next two seasons. After all, Butler is already 36 years old. Like Curry, although Butler's level and condition have maintained a good level, it has also declined a lot compared to the past. However, thankfully, the chemistry between Butler and the team was good. He shared Curry's pressure on holding the ball, and his key ball ability was still excellent. With his outstanding organizational skills, he successfully helped the Warriors complete a counterattack and returned to the ranks of the playoffs. However, the Warriors must pay attention to Butler's use next season. The former Iron Man has also begun to frequently encounter injuries as he grows older. In the past few seasons, he has missed many games. If he accidentally suffers injuries, it will be a disaster-level blow to the Warriors.

Buddy Hilde

Last season data: 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists

Current age: 32 years old

Compared with the above two, Hilde is still "younger", but he is already 32 years old. As the shooter who replaced Klay Thompson last season, Hilder's initial performance was phenomenal, but after all, his ability is still limited and it is difficult to digest a lot of ball rights. Moreover, after the opponent understood his playing style, Hilder felt the struggle.

In the end, he only handed in 11.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in the regular season. Fortunately, his three-point shooting was good, with a total of 203 three-pointers and his shooting percentage remained at 37%. Judging from the current situation, Hilder's role positioning next season is likely to be the sixth man. This is his more familiar position and the best way for the Warriors to use him at the moment. For Warriors fans, Hilder is still trustworthy. Regardless of whether his performance is stable or not, his attendance rate is guaranteed. He played 82 games last season, and last season, he played 84 games directly due to trading reasons. Moreover, Hilder's performance may determine the direction of the Warriors' game and even determine the outcome.

Draymond Green

Last season's data: 9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks

Current age: 35 years old

Although he was selected as the last shortlist of DPOY last season, Green's condition has also declined significantly. This former best center candidate in the small ball lineup has begun to be seen as inferior to that of the naked eye since helping the team win the championship in the 21-22 season. On the offensive end, he has obviously deteriorated. His performance occasionally shows his strength and it is difficult to give the team enough help on the offensive end. If it weren't for Butler's trade, it would have been a problem for the Warriors to enter the playoffs even.

After entering the playoffs, Green performed even worse, averaging only 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Fortunately, Green's performance on the defensive end is pretty good and can still provide support to the team. As the team's overall defensive quality declines, his defensive efficiency remains 108.8. The data grabbing shows that his interfering shots reached 9.1, which is a very impressive data. Therefore, the Warriors need to consider the use of Green next season. Reducing a certain role on the offensive end and strengthening the quality of the defensive end may be the best way for Green to regain his second spring.

Al Horford

Last season statistics: 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 blocks

Current age: 39 years old

In this offseason, the Warriors have added some interiors, and they signed 39-year-old veteran Horford from the Celtics.. Although he is old enough to retire, Horford's form is in good shape. He helped the Celtics win the championship in the 23-24 season, and also contributed 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season, and there is still a lot of inventory in the fuel tank. Although Horford has been positioned as a blue-collar worker throughout his career, he has to say that his abilities are historically level, both offensively and externally, and has certain support. The quality of the frame protection on the defensive end is excellent, and the protection of rebounds is reassuring. The only thing that disappoints Warriors fans is probably that he has not been traded to the team a few years ago. The arrival of Horford will undoubtedly share the pressure on Green in the inside, but the team also needs to pay attention, that is, he is close to 40 years old after all, and has been absent in recent seasons for about 20 games. As long as he can ensure his health, Horford next season may bring huge surprises to the team.

Seth Curry

Last season's data: 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists

Current age: 35 years old

Unknown to you, Curry has reached the age of 35. Unlike his brother, he has been wandering in the NBA because of his inferior personal ability, but even so, he can still get teams in various teams with his outstanding three-point shooting. Last season, he shot 45.6% of his three-point shooting percentage with the Hornets, the highest in the league, but at the same time, the only thing he can do is this three-pointer. After signing with the Warriors in the offseason, he and his brother will play side by side, which will undoubtedly become a good story. Of course, the Warriors signed him not only because of Stephen Curry, but also hope that Curry can help the team's outside on the bench. After all, his playing style and style are quite consistent with the team's system.
