At the beginning of the season, the Warriors were almost the most beautiful team in the league, and in the first 30 games, the Warriors' record has been leading the entire league. But the Warriors are not without flaws, and sure enough, as the season deepens, the Warriors' internal problems gradually begin to appear, and after Dream Green's injury, the Warriors' record has plummeted. At present, the championship attribution this season is unclear, and the top four teams in the East and West are likely to lift the O'Brien Gold Cup this season, which is also the year when the Warriors have the best chance of completing the restoration of the dynasty. Therefore, before the trade deadline arrives, the Warriors will definitely seize the opportunity to make a final reinforcement.
According to the Warriors reporter, the Warriors are considering using Wisemanga draft picks to make an offer to the Spurs, and the trade is aimed at spurs' starting center Boltel. Previously, reporters reported that the Spurs' offer for Bortel was a first-round pick and a good young player, and Bolt also attracted a lot of team attention in the trading market, and the Warriors' chip is still a good competitiveness.
Bolter wants the top blue-collar interior line that almost all playoff teams want. Bortel is 2.13m tall and weighs 108kg, which is a heavy tonnage in today's NBA, but he still has enough flexibility on the defensive end, the defensive coverage area is very large, the high-level data is very good, he is the most efficient player in the league, and the change of defense and co-defense also belong to the same tonnage excellent level, comparable to Gobert. On the offensive end, Bolt has almost no autonomy to attack, and he perfectly adapts to the needs of the Warriors - solid cover ability, actively fighting for offensive rebounds, and having a certain ability to respond. This kind of blue-collar interior that does not occupy the ball is exactly what the Warriors need, and his characteristics on the offensive end and the top-level rim protection ability can completely solve the problem of the Warriors' lack of height inside line, and provide solid cover, providing better shooting opportunities for the Splash Brothers, thus further expanding the threat of the Warriors' offensive end. If the Warriors can successfully win this player, then the Warriors' lineup will have no shortcomings.
Bolt's only downside is that his contract expires in the offseason, and his contract extension is around $15 million, something the Warriors trade must consider. Now that the Warriors' payroll system is very fragile, Miles must be very cautious about renewing players outside the core lineup with heavy money. If the contract extension is waived, then it means that the Warriors will trade Wiseman and a draft pick for Bortel's right to use for half a season, which is obviously not worth it.
Another thing the warriors should consider about this deal is wiseman's value. Wiseman's talent has not yet been cashed in, and is it really worth it for the Warriors to sell so cheaply? Although Wiseman's performance in his rookie season is hard to say, he is still the league's most talented young interior player, and his offensive skills are so comprehensive that if he gives up, the Warriors may regret this decision in the future. Previously, the Warriors had announced that they would not trade Wiseman, but this was based on the premise that Wiseman could return according to the expected plan. Not long ago, Miles announced at a press conference that Wiseman will usher in a comeback during the playoffs, which has become one of the reasons for the Warriors to make a trade. The comeback of the playoffs, in short, Wiseman's season reimbursement, is because the Warriors' situation this season is not clear, and there is not enough strength for Kerr to be sure that he can train new people in the playoffs, which also shows that the Warriors' plan to make Wiseman make up for the shortcomings has failed.
Reinforcing the interior line can further reduce Green's defensive pressure, and also reduce the risk of green being injured. During the absence of Dream Green, the Warriors team proved with actions that Green's role in the Warriors was no less than that of the Splash Brothers, and the Warriors' internal line lost Green, which was equivalent to the Lakers' offense losing LeBron. This season is the best time for the Warriors to rush to the championship, next season the Clippers and Nuggets are about to make a comeback, the Cavaliers and 76ers in the East will be further improved, so the Warriors must take advantage of this season. At present, it seems that among the teams in the West, only the Sun is a greater threat, and the Warriors after reinforcing the interior line are not without the certainty of rushing out of the West.
Reluctant to let the child not set the wolf, the Warriors want to strengthen the inside line in one step, then the young players in the team can not stay. Or the Warriors could take a step back and test the value of Howard's deal, perhaps more likely.
