At the end of the regular season, the most fierce competition was the top four competition in the East and West, especially in the West, and it was too difficult for the depressed Warriors to win the game, and they ushered in a three-game losing streak without suspense, directly allowing competitors Grizzlies to firmly sit in second place in the West. In other words, the Warriors have less and less home field advantage, and unless they are super confident, this may be the biggest disadvantage on the road to the championship. The author sees that the Warriors are struggling and have a very bad mental outlook, are they all following Wiggins' health play? But others say the Warriors are actually using the final stages of the regular season to train role players in order to be useful in the playoffs.
The Warriors really don't lack the Wizards, Moody counts one, not to mention top scorer Poole, who has easily scored more than 20 points in 14 consecutive games. You know, Poole's contract is only about $2 million, but he has already played star-level data. Judging from the performance and data, Poole deserves a big contract, and the Warriors have no reason to let Goull go, unless a stronger star is traded through Poole, but I am afraid it is unlikely. It's worth mentioning that Poole has really swelled up lately, because he has dared to blame the core players in the team, certainly not Green, Curry and Klay.
Some media said that after losing the game to the Grizzlies, Poole first found Wiggins and questioned him, thinking that he should play harder, Wiggins on the court is completely non-aggressive, as one of the core, did not stand up at a critical moment. Questioned by the younger brother Poole, as an All-Star player, Wiggins certainly does not do it, he angrily scolded Poole not to ignore his huge contribution on the defensive end, offensive and defensive conversion is difficult to maintain the top level at the same time, he hopes that Poole clearly knows this. Although this is a quarrel exposed by the media, the authenticity is worth examining, but it is not surprising that the Warriors have infighting, because Wiggins is indeed indisputable.
I think Wiggins' performance is indeed not at the level of an All-Star player, with an annual salary of about $30 million, and he really needs to stand up and take over the team when other superstars are not there, rather than letting role player Poole take on more. However, Curry's injury absence is also an important factor affecting Wiggins' performance, and Wiggins does not seem to be able to play without Curry. Coupled with the fact that the Warriors have successfully cultivated Cumminga, it is a certain degree of proof that the team can accept the loss of Wiggins. The author feels that it is not excluded that Poole and Wiggins can only leave one, and if they want to be purged, Wiggins is the first choice.
If Wiggins is allowed to get an annual salary of less than $20 million, his performance is still justified, after all, he is rarely injured, and the attendance rate is still considerable. But compared to the super cost-effective Poole, Wiggins should reflect on himself more, so Poole's contract extension can be expected. In fact, this season is not the best time for the Warriors to regain the championship, Klay has just picked up, Curry has stopped playing, Green is absent for a long time before returning, maybe next season through the player trade, the Warriors can re-build a set of championship-winning lineups, but Wiggins, Wiseman should be gone, the author believes that only Wiggins left, the Warriors have the hope of winning the championship.
