The Warriors out day 2! The season review and outlook are unrealistic, and the reinforcement goal is mentioned 8 players

On May 17, two days have passed since the Warriors were eliminated by the Timberwolves. Looking back at this round of the series, the Warriors showed their fighting spirit and desire for victory in the face of Curry's absence, especially in the third game, which was a pity to lose, which was the turning point of the series. But without Curry, the Warriors are no match for the Timberwolves at all. They are crushed by the latter in all aspects. Even if they are dragged to G6, Curry, who has just returned, may not be in good condition. Instead, it may aggravate Curry's injury. Therefore, the result of being swept by the Timberwolves Gentleman 1-4 is fully acceptable.

However, in this round of the series, the Warriors exposed several problems without Curry:

First, the team did not have a reliable starting point for offense, butler is not, and sister Bo is not. Second, there is no stable three-point shooter. Hilder has no match in one game. Cole has no choice but to send a space-free lineup with the Timberwolves to fight for bayonets with the Timberwolves. Third, Butler is strong because Ku has gravity. When Curry was on the court, he attracted double-teams through running to create an open opportunity for Butler. When the opponent came to make up for defense, Butler passed it to his open teammates. This is the Warriors' system.

The Timberwolves have an advantage in the inside and feel good on the outside. The Warriors missed one game and were chased by the Timberwolves for four consecutive games, and they couldn't escape the fate of being out of the game. Injuries are part of the game. Curry's hamstring was accidentally strained, which directly affected the trend of the series. In addition, he played 7 games with the Rockets in the first round. Not only did Butler play with the injury, but he also exhausted the physical fitness of the rotation players. In the second round, the Warriors have really tried their best to face the Timberwolves, who are also fierce in defense. However, looking back at the course of this season, the Warriors have been successful in being able to reach the Western Conference semi-finals! At the beginning of the season, the Warriors started with 12 wins and 3 losses and once topped the West, but then the Warriors lost 19 of the next 28 games, and when the trade deadline approached, the winning rate was only a pitiful 50%. At that time, boss Laikob and general manager Dunleavy finally reached a deal, bringing Curry a capable player - Jimmy Butler. In fact, as early as February 7, according to league sources, Antetokounmpo, James, Zion, Paul George, LaVine and others are all stars that the Warriors management wants to introduce to partner with Curry. Among all the stars in the league, even Durant is within the scope of the boss Lecobb's suggestion to introduce. In the end, the Warriors got Jimmy Butler, who had six All-Stars from the Miami Heat. They once led the Heat to create the Black Eight Miracle and made great strides to the Finals. However, as Butler had conflicts with the management this season, the deal was eventually led to. Because all Butler needs is a new team with a desire to win the championship, so that he can find happiness again.

"Yes, there are indeed people who are worried about Butler," Warriors owner Lecobb told reporters during the playoffs, "but you do your analysis; you have to make your own choices, yes, it's a bit of a risk. But we have to take risks in life. He's worth every penny. I can only say so much. He's awesome."

That's what Butler did, as the Warriors climbed from a 25-26 West bottom team and ended up with 48-34. If it weren't for the last few games of the regular season (losing to the Spurs and the Clippers), the Golden State Warriors could have avoided entering the playoffs and could have a home advantage in the first round of the series. This is the change Butler brought to the Warriors. One data shows that after Butler joined, the Warriors' defensive efficiency ranked first in the league during the same period, and their offensive efficiency was also among the top 10 levels. So, in order to become stronger next season, what's the job of the Warriors in the offseason?

Let's first look at the Warriors' assets. Next season, the Warriors will have 6 fully guaranteed contracts - Curry 59.61 million, Butler 54.13 million, Dream Chasing 25.89 million, Moody's 11.57 million, Hilder 9.22 million, and Sister Bo 3.69 million. In addition, Santos and Post's team options and Kumingga's restricted contract (to be renewed), but if you look closely, the salary of the three Kuzhuba's three is 139 million, accounting for 85% of the team's total salary, so the next operation space is limited.

In addition, the Warriors can pack up to four first-round picks (2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032) for trading, and there are quite a lot of first-round picks. As for young players, Kumingga, Sister Bo, Moody and others are all good people, and they still attach great importance to rebuilding the team.

For this reason, some American media imagined that the Warriors traded Antetokounmpo, but rationally analyzed that Antetokounmpo's salary next season is 54.13 million, and it is not easy for the Warriors to make up for it. Therefore, if the Warriors want to trade for super giants, then Butler and Zhu Meng will definitely go one by one, so it is still difficult to trade for super giants like letters.

According to the American anthony slater, Dunro and Sexton are potential targets of the Warriors. Cuminga exchanges for Kobe White is a good choice, and then mentions Monk, Gafford, Magic's Carter and Lopez. Judging from the direction of the Warriors' signing, the Warriors need 3D players on the wing, unlike the Warriors' current lineup, which can either not defend or defend or attack, and then they need three-point stable shooting points. In terms of functionality, these players in the free market are not very suitable for the Warriors' offensive and defensive system.

But the Warriors' championship window is out of reach now, and Curry and Butler have two years left in the contract, which means that the Warriors will not score the championship in the past two years, and Curry will have no chance of his fifth championship. Of course, if Durant is coming, as long as the price is not expensive (because Adu only has one year of use rights), the Warriors should consider it carefully.
