4 highly watched news from the Warriors

The Warriors are constantly news, from locker rooms to management, from potential new players to core contract renewals, every piece of news can cause an uproar in the fan group. Let’s sort out one by one to see what kind of turmoil this team is experiencing now.

Let's talk about Kumingga's tug-of-war for contract renewal, and this matter has been somewhat stalemate recently. The plan given by the Warriors management is quite interesting. Either it will be 45 million in two years, but the team will have to decide the second year and the veto power of the transaction will be given up; or you will get a quotation of 7.9 million in one year. No one would be happy. Kumingga's improvement in football skills in the past two years is obvious to all. He stood up at critical moments many times in the playoffs last season. Why should he sign such an unguarded contract?

What's more interesting is that other teams are eyeing each other. The Suns openly stated that they wanted to exchange O'Neal and Richards for four second round picks, and promised to give him a four-year, 90 million contract. As a result, the Warriors insisted on opposing rookie Ryan Dunn, and the two sides were in a stalemate here. The Kings are also here to make fun of it, wanting to use Monk plus the first round pick in 2030 to exchange for Kuminga, and are willing to give 63 million in three years, but the Warriors think that the first round pick has protection clauses and are unwilling to let go. In this case, if Kumingga really signs a qualification offer and becomes a full free agent next summer, the Warriors may have to lose their game. After all, young people are very arrogant, who doesn’t want to find a place that can be stable and stable. The deadlock for contract renewal has not yet been broken, but the news of signings there has become hot first. There are rumors in the circle that Curry and Payton Jr. are likely to join the Warriors with basic salary. These two are old acquaintances. Curry's three-point ability needs no need to say much. He shot 45.6% last season. Standing outside the three-point line is like a mobile turret. If he partnered with his brother, his opponent would probably complain. Not to mention Payton, his defense is as difficult as a plaster. His opponents scored 4.7 points when facing him last season. What the Warriors lack most is this powerful character who can keep a close eye on the outside.

Not only these two people, Horford and Melton are also waiting for news. It is said that these two people have not signed contracts with other teams since the free market was opened, and they are all determined to wait for the Warriors to settle Kumingga's contract. Although Horford is a little older, his pick-and-roll quality and outside restraint still exist, which is just right to deal with heavy centers; Melton has a large defensive coverage area and can occasionally break through with the ball twice, just enough to fill the gap in the substitute lineup. If all four of them can join, the Warriors' rotation depth will be directly improved to a higher level. I just don't know how Cole will arrange troops at that time. After all, there will be a sweet worry if there are too many people.

The Markkanin transaction, which was rumored a while ago, has now completely failed. The Jazz asked for a lot of prices, both Bojie and a lot of draft picks, how could the Warriors be willing to give up? There are only two unprotected first-round picks in hand, namely in 2025 and 2027, and there is also one in 2030 that must enter the top 20 rankings before counting. How can you hand them all over? Besides, Bojie has made great progress this season and saved the team many times in the playoffs. The management has long regarded him as one of the core of the future. Now Markanin has renewed his contract and cannot be traded within half a year. When it is possible to trade, the deadline for February next year has passed. The Warriors have cut off this idea. Anyway, they have polished the existing lineup and their competitiveness is also good.

Finally, I told Curry's secret. Curry's brother-in-law Damian Lee recently broke the news on a podcast, saying that Curry always likes to search for his name on Twitter during the halftime of the game, and specifically read the comments of those black fans. The more I watch, the more excited it becomes. As soon as I start the game, it feels like a cheat, and he can make any shots. As soon as this incident came out, the fans found it funny. As those black fans cursed every day, they became the power bank that charged Curry? No wonder Curry always bursts out at critical moments, and it turns out that there is such a hidden skill. It is estimated that after the start of the new season, more fans will come to his Twitter to "provoke" and hope that he can score more three-pointers.

The Warriors' abacus this offseason was crackling. We must not only retain the core seedlings of the future, but also introduce veterans who can plug and play, and we must also carefully calculate the draft picks in our hands. Although Kumingga's contract renewal is still pending, the direction of signing is quite clear, which is to focus on veterans such as Curry and Butler, and a group of character players who can run, defend and shoot, strive to strive for another championship. As for whether it will be successful in the end, it depends on whether these new and old faces can get a chemical reaction after the training camp begins.
