After two consecutive seasons of silence, the Warriors bottomed out this season, rapidly rising from the league's belly to one of the title favourites.
Despite recent slight fluctuations in form, the team is still in second place in the West with a record of 42 wins and 17 losses, but the team has also exposed some lineup shortcomings in the process of playing against strong teams.
In the case of missing the trading market, the US media "bluemanhoop" decisively supported the warriors, should exert efforts in the buyout market, and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of potential 5 major reinforcement candidates.
Goal Five: Schroeder
Schroeder was sent to the Rockets by the Green Army before the deal deadline, and given that the latter is in the process of rebuilding, Schroeder is currently one of the hottest targets in the buyout market.
As the best sixth-man candidate in the past, Schroeder still maintains a strong offensive ability this season, averaging 14.3 points and 4.3 assists per game.
However, for the Warriors, Schroeder is not practical, on the one hand, when he plays for the Lakers, he performs extremely badly in the playoffs, on the other hand, when he plays for the Green Army this season, it can be seen that he only cares about the data, does not care about the team system, plus the Warriors and Poole, the Warriors do not need Schroeder at all.
Goal Four: Dragic
Dissatisfied with being traded to the Raptors, Dragic has long since left the team to train alone, and he was sent away by the trade before the trade deadline, and it is recognized that he is about to be bought out.
A solid veteran point guard, Dragic has played an excellent second-team brain role during his two seasons with the Heat, providing a steady output, organization and experience.
But for the Warriors, Dragic is still not a good reinforcement option, because the team already has Poole and Payton Jr. on the bench.
Goal Three: Millsap
Before the trade deadline, Pulsap was sent to the 76ers by the Nets as one of the chips, considering Millsap's playing style and status this season, the 76ers are searching for a substitute inside line, and if a suitable reinforcement target is found, Millsap may be bought out by the team.
For the Warriors, Millsap's playing style is perfect for the Warriors, and he has a variety of abilities, including stable mid-range shooting.
Unfortunately, Millsap is 36 years old, personal production is plummeting, and there are shortcomings in defense, and the Warriors need a traditional interior.
Goal two: Tristan Thompson
Before the trade deadline, Thompson was sent to the Pacers by the Cavaliers, who are currently in the process of rebuilding and have since cut Thompson.
As the championship center of the cavaliers in the past, Thompson has a stable rebounding protection ability, as well as outstanding defensive contributions, plus four Finals experience, Thompson is undoubtedly one of the Warriors' perfect reinforcement targets.
Unfortunately, according to the famous Shams report, Thompson has chosen to join the Bulls, and it is difficult for the Warriors to change his mind.
Goal one: Robin Lopez
Compared to Thompson, who has been in a state of decline in recent seasons, Robin Lopez is in better shape, and his body and confrontation are stronger than Thompson, which can fill the gap in the Warriors' interior line.
Lopez's strength is his full-size stature, which can provide the Warriors with basic confrontation and attrition when facing big centers such as Jokic, Ayton, Embiid and Gobert, while providing experience for Wiseman.
His weakness is that he is 33 years old, and his overall athleticism has declined seriously, but even so, throughout the buyout market, Robin Lopez is still the Warriors' best reinforcement target.
