Inside Golden State’s plan to chase more championships now whilegrooming their stars of the future.
The Warriors' plan is to kill two birds with one stone, the champion, the future, he wants.
groom[ɡru m] n. groom; Groom; vt. Cultivation;
In the NBA universe, this is bordering on science fiction, an attempt to bend the laws of physics anddistortthe space-time continuum. Contend now AND build for the future? At the same time?! Madness!
Looking back at the entire history of the NBA, this is somewhat too sci-fi, as if to subvert the laws of physics and distort time and space. Win in the moment, but also plan ahead? incredible!
distort[d st rt] vt. Make deformations; Distortion; make distortion;
Danny Angie, former Celtic general manager, said: "The challenges are unimaginable. "Danny's Green Army won the 2008 championship and remained competitive for several years." There is no one who does not want to do this, but there is only theoretical possibility. ”
It hasn’t been done in the modern era—not successfully, anyway. And it’s easy to understand why. In the NBA,perennialcontenders generally draft low or trade their picks for win-now vets.
At least in today's leagues, such an attempt has never been successful. The reason for this is not difficult to understand. In the NBA, the draft picks of the championship-winning Evergreens are usually not very high, and some will trade off the draft picks in exchange for veterans who are at their peak.
perennial[p reni l] adj. Perennial; Long-lasting; Continuous; Recurring;
They rarely have high-talent youth to develop, if they have any youth at all. Every resource is poured into this season, this roster, this playoff run. There’s no time to plan for the future—especially now, in this era oframpantsuperstar movement.
There are basically no young people in the team, and even if there are, it is difficult to have any talented young people to cultivate. All of the team's chips are staked in this season, betting on the playoffs of this year. Coupled with the fact that the current league is flooded with star changes, there is little time to plan for the future.
rampant[ r mp nt] adj. Flooded; Rampant; Crazy long;
So when age factors affect and injuries come, dynasty teams usually fall apart. Think of the Lakers after the Magic retired in the '80s, the Celtics after Larry Bird walked off the altar, the bulls of the post-Jordan era, or the Lakers whose Kobe Bryant peak was absent. It will take years, if not decades, to get back into the race for the title.
The Warriors are hoping their veterans will one day pass the torch to the next generation.
The Warriors hope that one day these elderly heroes will pass the torch to the younger generation.
All are talented enough, and young enough, toplausiblybecome the Warriors’ new core after their current stars age out. Perhaps not astranscendentor as dominant but strong enough to carry the franchise into the post-Curry era.
These rookies are very talented and young, so when this group of cores grows old, they are likely to be the new king. Maybe they're not the most remarkable and dominant, but they're enough to support the warriors of the post-Curry era.
Plausibly stands up; Paradoxically; reasonable;
transcendent[tr n send nt] adj. Extraordinary; Remarkable;
Curry didn't skimp on the team's youngsters: "They're all talented and talented. They are very versatile. ”
Curry also praised Moody's projection and defense, comparing Cumminga to a "sporting monster" who "feels great in the game" and Wiseman as "the perfect player who can do anything on the field." Curry said: "They are very good. ”
Oh, and meanwhile, Curry himself is still playing like an MVP—and has the current Warriors on track for another run to the Finals. Maybe several. Which means this franchise is now running on parallel tracks: one aimed at June, the other at some distant point on the horizon. One focused on championships. One focused on development.
In addition, Curry himself has played at the MVP level, leading the Warriors back to the championship race, and even chasing more than one championship. That is to say, this warrior team is preparing with two hands at the same time: pointing to the championship while focusing on the future.
If it all goes well, Golden State could gracefully segue into the next era, without all the crashing and burning and prayers to lottery gods. Except it’s never been done. So when the man charged with navigating this strange new path is asked about a road map to follow, he can only chuckle.
If all goes well, the Warriors will make a smooth transition to the next era, during which they will not experience the collapse of the dynasty and pray for the lucky favor of the draft. So if you ask the team's helmsman about his future plans, he'll just laugh out loud.
If it all goes well (high-frequency speaking)
