As the most expensive team in the NBA league, the Warriors have repeatedly set a new record for the NBA's historical luxury tax, and in the season that has ended, the Warriors' entire team salary has exceeded $170 million, and their luxury tax has reached $170 million, in other words, the Warriors can build a championship-winning team for any team just by paying luxury taxes. That's why the Warriors are always so tight in the offseason, on the one hand they need to keep the core lineup stable, on the other hand, they need to save money, which is the opposite of each other. 2 years and 21 million, finally returned from injury, the Warriors won the championship you did not contribute, you should think about how to get back what you lost.
When we talk about the Warriors' core lineup, Curry, Klay, Dream Green, Wiggins, Poole and Looney are recognized by fans as the Warriors' core 6-man group, however, from a salary point of view, the Warriors' young center Wiseman is one of the core five Tigers, he ranks fifth in the team with a salary of $9.6 million next season, and as a showlist, Wiseman's salary in the final year reached $12 million. From an immediate combat point of view, the Warriors' two key champions Payton Jr. and Porter left the Warriors with an average annual salary of $8.7 million and an average annual salary of $6.2 million, respectively, and the contribution of these two to the Warriors in the season that has ended is huge, and from this point of view, Wiseman has a long way to go next season.
As a leaderboard show, can win the championship in the second season of his career, Wiseman's experience is relatively rare in history, more rare is that he still lies down to get the championship, the general team can get the list eye, basically are fish belly team, after selecting the list eye will take the player as the core of the future team building, not to mention the situation in the case of the reimbursement of the list eye season, Wiseman's situation is so embarrassing, the Warriors won the championship without him, and in Wiseman's rookie season, The Warriors also played a wave of winning streaks after Wiseman's end-of-season reimbursement, directly from tenth in the West to eighth in the West. The Warriors are a better team without Wiseman, a statement that is so far hard to refute.
Earlier, Wiseman was interviewed about how he felt during the victory celebration parade, and Wiseman said that he wanted to open a bottle of champagne on the parade car, but he tried various methods without success, because he did not do this, and with the help of a passenger, the bottle cap was finally opened. The joy of winning the championship spread throughout the Warriors team, but for Wiseman, although his resume is forever engraved with the mark of the championship, he will still not be considered a real champion, before officially embarking on the court to contribute to the Warriors, Wiseman will not get real recognition, he can not even take on Iguodala's task on the court, say more, but help, in the past season, Wiseman in addition to recuperation, he is more in learning.
After winning the championship, Wiseman admitted he had been learning from Looney's style of playing in the Warriors and that he might emulate what Looney did with the Warriors. Learning Looney is right, but Wiseman can not lose himself, the Warriors' expectations of him are far greater than Looney, the latter's talent and draft picks are not comparable to Wiseman at all, to put it bluntly, more in the NBA for a few years, physical training is stronger, Looney can do things, Wiseman can basically do, and Wiseman can do some things, Looney may not be able to reach the entire career, this is why the Warriors will use their precious list eyes to select Wiseman, in the eyes of the Warriors management, Wiseman is their answer in the center position.
At the beginning of next season, one thing is certain that Wiseman's starting position has been lost, in fact, in the last offseason, Kerr has decided to let Looney return to the starting lineup, they need to rush the championship, cultivate Wiseman, Cuminga and other things, need to be put aside. After Looney renewed the Warriors' contract, Kerr also publicly promised his starting position, and the Warriors will still use the five small lineups for a large number of times, that is, if Wiseman wants to play time next season, he needs to rely more on his own performance to fight.
Wiseman has wasted a whole precious season, as a leader-in-chief, next season, he must break out, otherwise the label of parallel goods, Wiseman wants to take off will be more difficult, in the interview, Wiseman said that everyone just saw him on the field, only remembered his previous bad performance, everyone's impression of him stayed in the rookie season, and he experienced everything in this season, especially off the field, is very precious, he has undergone a lot of reflection and healing. The most important point is that in addition to learning Looney's playing style, Wiseman's clear point is that he will still be himself, which is the most crucial, in order to get back everything that belongs to him, Wiseman must let the fans see his performance on the field.
