This year's offseason, the Warriors not only did not strengthen, they also lost a three-time champion veteran. Looney's departure did make many veteran Warriors fans feel sad. In fact, there is not only Looney, a free agent this year. The Warriors also have two free agents, Cuminga and Payton Jr. Cuminga's contract problem has always troubled the Warriors, but Payton Jr.'s stay and leave the Warriors still have not made a decision and have not completed the contract renewal with him in advance.
But Payton Jr. does not seem to be short of next players. As a former hero of the Warriors' championship, four teams are currently interested in Payton Jr. These four teams are the Lakers, Suns, Heat and Bucks. Payton Jr. is a player with very distinctive characteristics. He has outstanding defensive ability and is very good at biting some defenders. But his weakness is also very obvious, that is, his outside projection is very bad and he does not have stable outside projection ability. On the court, you can only rely on some downs and the end of the basket to score. So this is also where the Warriors hesitate, because Payton Jr.'s current situation with the Warriors is relatively embarrassing.
First of all, Payton is currently older, and his defensive ability on the outside has declined. In the Warriors' system, he is very fatal to have no outside shooting, and he cannot help other teammates open up space. When he and Curry are on the court at the same time, the opponent defends him will adopt a contraction defense. So much so that the Warriors' space on the court is very congested. This is why the Warriors don't like some players who don't have the ability to shoot. Because they cannot help Curry open up space on the court, the Warriors are the team in the league that needs space the most. Therefore, the Warriors have not completed an early renewal with Payton Jr.
If nothing unexpected happens, Payton Jr. should leave the Warriors to join other teams this year, but many fans think that Payton Jr. does not seem to be suitable for developing in other teams. He had left the Warriors to join the Trail Blazers before, but his performance in those two seasons was very average. After returning to the Warriors, his performance immediately improved. Many fans believe that only Cole has his instructions. He can indeed perform better in the Warriors atmosphere. However, as a young Payton of this age, getting a decent contract is the most important thing now. I wonder what the fans think?
