The Warriors sign 5 people in a row! Can Curry join the veteran lineup return to the top?

The Warriors' offseason signings came with a "back-pressure" According to relevant news, the team signed Horford, Melton, Payton Jr., Richard, and Tuxi in one go, with a total of 5 players. Influenced by Kumingga's contract, the Warriors only registered 9 players at one time. After signing 5 people in a row, the team's 14-man roster has been "out", but Kumingga still did not accept the team's "quotation" and it seems that both sides have to "fight to the end"!

Loney's departure resulted in the Warriors' lack of players in the interior and lack of competitiveness at the basket. Champion center Horford has confirmed that he has signed a contract with the Warriors for a multi-year contract. The 39-year-old Horford has played for four seasons with the Celtics, helping the team win the NBA championship. There is no doubt about experience and technical ability. It is said that the Warriors have also made a promise to let him serve as the starting center. With Horford's joining, 35-year-old Green + 37-year-old Curry + 36-year-old Butler + 39-year-old Horford's average age for the main lineup has reached 36.7 years old. This age is probably going to "lead the NBA league."

Horford averaged 9 points, 2.1 assists, 6.2 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.9 blocks in 60 regular season games last season, with a stable shooting percentage of offenses, 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.3 blocks.

Melton, as an important signing for the Warriors last year, could have "played an important role" in the rotation lineup but only played 6 games, but was traded to the Nets due to injury. One season before the injury, in the 2023-2024 season, Melton averaged 11.1 points, three assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals per game, accurate outside shooting, solid defense, able to return to the Warriors Curry, and finally waited for a substitute.

Peton Jr., as the "defensive vanguard" of the Warriors' old team, "plays an important role" in the 2022 championship lineup, it will return to the adaptive tactical system, and its reinforcement effect will be more stable.

In addition to the veteran Warriors, the Warriors also signed this year's No. 52 rookie Tuxi and gave the opponent a two-way contract. No. 56 rookie Will Richard averaged 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.8 steals in the summer league. The Warriors offered him a four-year contract and signed 5 players in one day. The Warriors acted quickly and the lineup became neat. However, if the team wants to officially announce, it still has to be resolved by Kumingga. According to relevant news, Kumingga has not accepted the team's "latest offer" and has not yet been confirmed. Both sides should solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise it will be "both losing money".

2024-2025 season, the Warriors experienced a sluggish downturn at the beginning of the game, adjusted quickly enough, achieving a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, and advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals. However, Curry was injured in a critical game, causing the team to miss further. Two old players returned and signed the champion center, and added two rookies. Curry had a helper and the lineup was more complete. The old coach Kerr "lead the troops", star Curry + champion center Horford, what adjustments will the Warriors' lineup make, can Kumingga's contract problem be perfectly solved, can the team be strengthened, and how competitive it is? Faced with a more severe competition test, can we return to the top of the new season? What do fans think about this?
