The 2021-22 NBA offseason continues, and as the free agent market opens, the entire league has changed dramatically. Among them, the defending champion Golden State Warriors made a relatively large personnel adjustment. On the one hand, the Warriors were the first to be exposed to the departure of The three core players of Payton Jr., Porter and Anderson. On the other hand, the Warriors also signed super shooter Di ventenzo. From all indications, the Warriors have given up the pursuit of Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, thus determining the hope of keeping frontman Wiggins.
After the opening of the free agent market, after the baptism of the Finals and the playoffs, warriors championships such as Peyton and Porter, who are worth a guarantee, have been poached by other teams' high-paying offers. Among them, Payton Jr. was exposed to sign a contract with the Pokeland Trail Blazers for $28 million in 3 years. Otto Porter, on the other hand, is likely to join the Toronto Raptors on a two-year full-time mid-range contract. As for Anderson, he joined another championship-winning favorite team in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers, to assist LeBron James. In addition to this, Bjelica also seems to be planning to return to the Europa League.
With the Warriors losing so many main players at once, general manager Mike was instantly bombarded by fans. However, many fans believe that the Warriors may intend to bet on Kevin Durant with some chips. But Warriors veteran Iguodala made it clear that the team has given up pursuing Durant. According to Iguodala's exposed conversation with reporters, the Warriors really do not have the conditions to pursue Durant, and the team's strategic development and layout are not intended to trade Durant.
In response, the Warriors were revealed to have signed young guard Di Ventenzo. The Warriors won Divinzenzo on a two-year, $9.3 million contract. Divenzo previously played in 42 regular season games for the Bucks and Kings, averaging nine points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Due to injuries, Di Ventenzo was originally a highly talented super scorer, but he never met the expectations of fans. However, as a high-quality top outside shooter in the league, coupled with excellent defense, Di ventenzo's role in the Warriors is comparable to a strengthened version of Poole.
After all, Poole's offensive ability to hold the ball can only lead the second team, and the Warriors can only add icing on the cake and cannot be sent to the snow. And Diventenzo's outside scoring ability has the ability to change his life against the sky, the key is that there is no less than the defensive ability of Peyton Jr., and the use value of $9.3 million for two years is simply the Warriors' profit. Some fans even predict that Di ventenzo will inevitably replace Pooler's tactical position next season in the Warriors, and it is likely that he will be able to play next to Steven Curry, and then officially replace Poole, who wants to pay the maximum salary.
There is no doubt that the reason why the Warriors rejected Durant, abandoned Porter, Payton Jr., Anderson and others, and then signed Divinzenzo, who overlapped with Pooler's position, is likely to force a contract extension for Wiggins after the end of next season. In this position of the front, Wiggins' role is no less than durant's previous role for the Warriors. The Warriors gave up some quality role players and rising Poole to really eat Wiggins' top salary contract.
