Four people were signed, but the competitors took the lead! The Warriors are not far from reconstruction

The NBA is in a long offseason. Many teams this summer have completed reinforcement work long before the trading market officially started, such as Bain, and Durant, the Rockets, etc., and the first move is the best! Including the Clippers' targets are accurate, Powell was sent out for expiration contracts, in exchange for Collins, signing Daluo, and signing Bill from the buyout market, and finally signing Paul back. Although the overall lineup framework is relatively old, the lineup is thick and the league is top-notch. Finishing the reinforcement work early will help lay the foundation for the running-in and tactical drills in the subsequent new season. But more than a month later, there is only one team left in the league, and the lineup cannot even be assembled by 10 people, and it is the Warriors. In the words of Bay Area reporter Slater, the Warriors were all dragged down by Kuminga throughout the summer.

Of course, it is not Kumingga's fault! The day when the Warriors offered Kuminga a qualification offer starting from $7.9 million in one year, the whole league was waiting to see the Warriors' jokes. The Warriors' management's attitude towards Kumingga is two extremes: if you don't want to stay with the Warriors, we may not really want to keep and cultivate you. 45 million in two years, you give up the veto of the transaction, which is the greatest sincerity we can give you; externally, the Warriors price Kumingga as "the best of the young generation". Whoever wants to get Kumingga, at least one unprotected first round + a young talented player can't let us get nothing! Kumingga is not in a hurry. I don’t want 45 million, I can only have 7.9 million. At worst, I will leave directly tomorrow Xia, and I can’t give up the veto power!

Dragged for a month, and the Warriors management did not make any moves on the surface, but in fact, it still locked in the signing of 4 people! In addition to Horford + Melton, who had previously confirmed to sign the Warriors, famous reporters Singer and Bay Area reporters reported that Curry + Payton Jr. also reached an agreement and verbal agreement with the Warriors, and returned or joined in the form of a basic salary. But if these four people want to sign the contract officially, they must wait until the situation of Kumingga is completely resolved! If Kumingga chooses to execute a qualification quote worth $7.9 million on October 1, then these four people will have to wait until October 2 before officially signing with the Warriors. Before that, they were rootless duckweed. They were worried, and the Warriors management couldn't sleep at night! There are three interesting questions. Let’s first look at the opponent’s attitude towards the Warriors.

First of all, the Warriors have never dared to officially announce the signing of four people because they are afraid that they will eat up their salary space (or use the middle class special case to trigger the hard hat, and set the salary cap, so that other teams can directly sign Kumingga). According to salary experts' estimates, only the Nets can do this in the league, and they don't even need to have an average salary of 25 million. The price of around 90 million in four years can make the Warriors management lose all the money! But the Bay Area media also expressed their confusion: If they want to intercept the truth, why didn’t they do this in the past month and have to spend time with the Warriors? Why didn’t they let the Warriors management give up completely and directly add a 90 million contract to Kuming? Other teams may not think it is worth it, but it can keep the Warriors worried.

Secondly, Kumingga wanted to leave, and everyone knew that the Sun and the King were interested in Kumingga. The Suns have no first-round picks, and the Warriors don't give negotiation opportunities, but the King's attitude is also not very understandable: from being willing to use Carter + Salic + 1 protected first-round quotes a month ago, to being willing to use Monk + 1 protected first-round picks recently, and adding a three-year contract of 63 million to Kuming. Due to the basic annual compensation principle, the Warriors need to take out one of Moody's or Hilde. The Warriors' attitude is that they must be unprotected in the first round. The Kings missed the playoffs 18 times in the past 19 years. The first round protected is equivalent to air and cannot be obtained! The King bit the low chips and deliberately set up a trap. The Nets retained their salary space to play the empty city plan. Why were the Warriors attacked by their competitors?

In fact, the truth is very simple. The Warriors' attitude towards Kumingga is different! If you think that Kuming has added an average price of 25 million, you have signed a contract long ago, so you won’t have to force Kumingjia to give up the veto power of trading; if you think that he is not worth it, why do you have to trade for the first round without protection? The last question is, assuming that Cumingga eventually leaves, the Warriors' main personnel framework for the new season: Curry + Butler + Dream Chasing Green + Horford + Melton, substitutes: Pojemsky + Curry Jr. + Payton Jr. + Hilder + Davis! The Warriors' lineup is short and old! Cole, who is over 1.9 meters tall, doesn’t know how to use it, Cole, who is under 28 years old, won’t use it! Is this lineup counting on this team to compete with the Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets and Clippers in the new season?

What's even more helpless is that Curry is 38 years old next season, and Butler has two years and 110 million yuan in maximum salary contract. Including Green's two years and 53 million US dollars, these three elderly people account for 74% of the team's salary next season (even if the staff is full). Butler declined significantly last season, and Green is dependent on Curry to survive. Who else can Curry count on? Cole will become the norm for the five small deaths next season: Curry + Melton (can be replaced by Boger) + Payton Jr. (can be replaced by Hilder) + Butler + Green, chronic euthanasia, how to fight this? The Warriors were delayed by Kumingga for the whole summer, which actually concealed the fact that the window to win the future was closed. They were not far from completely rebuilding!
