Is superstars no longer attractive, or is Curry not attractive enough?

1:11pm, 9 July 2025【Basketball】

The Rockets, Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks all have strengthened the team, and the Warriors have not strengthened the team since the start of the trading day, and have also lost the champion Rooney. The

The league has always had a tradition of superstars being able to attract character players who want to win the championship, but now superstar appeal no longer seems to exist. Character players tend to be long-term contracts and big contracts. The Warriors have two superstars, Curry and Butler, but no character players are automatically investing. The Warriors' salary also locks in the team's pace of strengthening. Currently, the main salary is concentrated on Curry, Butler and Green. The total salary of the three will reach $128 million next season. The salary of young players has not reached $15 million, which also puts the Warriors in a trade unfavorable situation and cannot introduce a starting inside player between $20 million and $30 million, unless multiple young players are sent out, which will cause the team's rotation lineup to play.

The Warriors could have supported Kumingga's contract as a bargaining chip, but Kumingga refused the Warriors' offer in the middle of last season. His performance at the end of the season and the playoffs caused his value to decline. After the Warriors gave the qualification quote, no other teams were interested. The Warriors seem to be in a vicious circle. At present, it seems that they can only be in free agents. Horford and Melton are both related to the Warriors, but there has been no substantial progress so far, and the addition of these two people cannot allow the Warriors to make a breakthrough in the powerful West.
