Horford and Kumingga are just puzzles. The Warriors want record, and the key is to make efforts by a 35-year-old veteran!

On September 7, according to the league's regulations, before October 20, all teams in the league must have a roster of at least 13 people. For now, all teams in the league have achieved this goal, and the reason why the Warriors failed to do so is mainly because Kuminga's contract was not finalized, which also makes the Warriors dare not win players in the free market with all their might. After all, if other teams take the opportunity to quote Kuminga, then they have no chance to bargain.

But if you keep dragging on this, these players who have reached a verbal agreement with the Warriors may lose patience and give up joining the Warriors, and the Warriors are also afraid of this, so they completed a key signing first. The team won Horford, which took 19.5 million for two years. The second year, the Warriors gave their greatest sincerity, and his joining will inevitably bring great help to the team. After all, Horford is very in line with the Warriors system.
He has space ability, extremely high ball quotient and game experience, and has first-hand support and frame protection, which solved the problem of Meng Zhuan Green's insufficient height when facing the big center. However, Horford is here. He is 39 years old and may only be 20 minutes of playing time per game, and he probably can't play back to back. To be honest, he is a good puzzle, but the playing time and attendance rate in the regular season cannot be guaranteed, which also makes him unable to give the Warriors greater support in their record, and physical fitness is a huge test in the playoffs.

After signing Horford, the Warriors are giving Kuming the final attitude, which is to have a maximum of 45 million in two years, and the second year is the team option. If you are willing to sign, sign, and if you don’t want to, then you will lose it. They have made the worst plan, and the management is willing to accept Kumingga's one-year, 7.9 million qualified player quotation contract. If the match is done, I can leave you with a big contract. If the match is not done well, then everyone will be at peace and part ways.
And Kumingga has not been in Cole's main rotation, which is why the Warriors did not give him a big contract. Although Lacob said he wanted to keep it, the reality is that he would not let the management change his mind for him. In fact, Kumingga is just a puzzle for the team. He is indeed very talented and can help the team on the offensive end, but it is not the team's core rotation. It is probably not very helpful for the team's winning. With Curry and Butler, he will not have a chance.

The Warriors want a record in the new season. I think Butler is the key. Curry is their basic plate. Curry can attract a lot of defense for the team. Moreover, judging from his condition and performance last season, he will still have a peak level next season. In this case, Curry can guarantee the output of the team's core lineup, but the biggest problem with the Warriors has always been that their rotation lineup is not strong. You can't let Kumingga always compete with his opponent. He is often on the top, it's okay to play against weak teams, and Kerr dare not use it.
So Butler is the core of their second round lineup. After Butler joined last season, Curry took the second round when he was off. The effect was very good. Butler had good singles ability and passing vision. The key is that the toughness brought by the defensive end has increased the Warriors' defense by several levels. This was how Butler led the team in the Heat. Letting him lead the second team was the best choice.

After joining the Warriors last season, he played 30 games, winning 23 games, with a terrifying winning rate of 76.6%. This winning rate is much higher than the winning rate of the second Rockets in the West throughout the season. If it is compared to 82 regular season games, Butler and Curry will remain healthy, the Warriors will win 63 games, second only to the Cavaliers and the Thunder in the league. Such an excellent record can also bring the Warriors a better home court advantage.
Although they have many veterans, home advantage seems unnecessary. After all, they have been playing in the playoffs for so many years, sometimes home advantage can put pressure on their opponents, and the referee's call may also be more biased towards the home team. This is also the reason why many strong teams still pursue regular season records even if they have enough veterans. Besides, does the boss want the team to play more home games? After all, you can earn more. Although Butler is 35 years old, he still has a good form from last season's game. After joining the Warriors last season, he averaged 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.7 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.6% and 28% of three-pointers. Although three-pointers are not good, fans familiar with Butler know that he does not rely on three-pointers to score. His breakthrough, killing and foul-making ability is great.
Compared to Wiggins, Butler is stronger. He is the strongest forward line since Durant. Cole's five-small system has extremely high requirements for the forward line. If he can defeat Melton again, the Warriors will be stronger. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Warriors? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
