Warriors won the second place.
All in all, the Warriors have no hope of winning the championship this season. How to operate and return to the championship in the offseason has become a top priority.
Connor Letourneau believes that Curry has proved that he is still at the top of his game this season. In the offseason, the Warriors should once again build a championship team around Curry. Warriors need to seriously consider packaging Wiseman and the third pick from Timberwolves 202 1 years ago.
In the transaction between Russell and Wiggins, Warriors 202 1 won the first round signing of the Timberwolves (the first three were protected). The Timberwolves are currently the third lowest in the league, and the Warriors expect that the probability of drawing the No.4-7 sign is as high as 59.8%. This year is the big draft year. According to American media reports, people like Cade Cunningham of Oklahoma State University, Evan Mobry of the University of Southern California, Jay Sage of Gonzaga University, Jonathan Kamina and Jay Green of the lighting team of Development Alliance are all top talents.
As long as the Timberwolves are not in the top three (if they are in the top three, it will be postponed to 2022 without guarantee), then the signboard of 202 1 Timberwolves owned by the Warriors is very valuable. However, the warriors can't make the same mistakes as last year.
Last year, the Warriors selected Wiseman with the second place. As a result, Wiseman almost missed the playoffs because he was unfamiliar with the NBA and made many mistakes. Curry is still at his peak, and the Warriors don't have much time and space to make mistakes for young players. High-profile show to the warriors is a kind of harm to both sides. If the Warriors choose a high-profile show with Wiseman, the ball will be even more boring.
Instead of choosing another tall show, packaging Timberwolves and Wiseman to trade a superstar who has proved himself will bring the Warriors one step closer to the championship.
Next season, Thompson will come back from injury without any accident. Referring to Durant's return to the peak in the Nets, Thompson is also worth looking forward to.
The combination of Curry+Thompson+Dream Pursuit-Green+Wiggins is not difficult to compete in the playoffs, but it is still very difficult to win the championship. If Wiggins+Wiseman+Timberwolves can be packaged together and replaced by a super giant with a Top 10 alliance, the future of the Warriors will be even more exciting.
The chips taken out by the Warriors are attractive enough, but it is still very difficult to complete the transaction. In view of the fact that the season is not over yet, it is difficult to judge which super giant in the league Top 10 will be willing to transfer. But in the offseason, the situation will be much clearer. If the Clippers don't win the championship again, Cam may run away. If the performance of the Nets is not as good as expected, the Big Three may also disintegrate. At this time, it's time for the Warriors to make a move.
In addition, Letourneau also talked about the renewal of Ubray. Considering the salary cap, it is impossible for the Warriors to sign a player like Ubray from the free market, so even if they pay more money, the Warriors should be willing to bring Ubray back. But it ultimately depends on Ubray's wishes. After Thompson's return, Ubray needed to play the sixth man, but Ubray once said that he should be the first player.
Whether the Warriors can return to the championship next season, two factors are crucial. One is whether Thompson can return to the top, and the other is whether they can use their own resources to bring back a super giant helper for Curry during the offseason.
