As the regular season draws to a close, last season's defending champions Warriors are only starting to improve in this final stage, and they were even thought to be out of the playoffs or need to fight for a spot through the playoffs, which really makes fans a little embarrassed, after all, the champion team should not be so disappointed here? And this is also what worries Warriors fans, because they are not favored again this season, and from the current point of view, this record and the competitiveness shown seem to be a bit out of the West.
If the Warriors can't make a difference in the playoffs this season, how do you think they should change? It should be noted that Dream Green hopes to win the top salary next, but the Warriors now have too many players with the top salary, and the fault is to give Poole this early big contract, and as a result, the value he showed this season seems to be far lower than expected, even if today's game performance is eye-catching, but God is really shocking, so in this context, the US media exposed a trade plan.
The goal is the Minnesota Timberwolves who need to be rebuilt! It is reported that the US media Fadeway World gave a trade plan, which is as follows: the Warriors sent Dream Green, Payton Jr., Kuminga and 2023+2025+2027 first-round picks to obtain Karl Anthony Towns, a three-time All-Star from the Timberwolves! This time the Golden State can be described as a big deal, a proper 6 for 1! From the content of the trade, the Warriors got the coveted big man, an All-Star who can average 23+11 in his career, and a big man who is at his peak and shoots 39.3% from three-point range, which is in line with the Warriors' tactics and has an immediate improvement in combat effectiveness for the team.
But the loss is also great, Chasing Dream is the axis of the Warriors, the initiator of tactics, and the spiritual leader of the locker room, but the problem is that his maximum salary contract Warriors are difficult to meet next, so the trade is a solution for the Warriors to make up for the inability to ensure the continuation of the future lineup after Chasing Dream becomes a free agent, in addition, Kuminga and Payton Jr. can become the future, but the premise is that the Warriors can still win the championship this season, and it seems that even their own fans do not have much confidence at present, especially the lack of big men and interior depth, so that the Warriors need to change, As we said earlier, Green's contract forced them to change!
For the Timberwolves, their focus is obviously on rebuilding, building a future around Anthony Edwards, dreaming of Green will make this team have immediate winning experience, in addition to Kuminga and Payton are also potential players, riding three first-round picks is difficult for any team to refuse, this will be a very favorite plan for Minnesota, so that they can rebuild quickly and guarantee future talent, and Towns himself is naturally happy to go to Golden State. After all, Curry and Thompson's indisputable personalities will allow teammates to get the most comfortable way to play here, as can be known by referring to the previous Durant.
If this deal is completed this summer, then the Warriors' roster will become Curry + Poole + Thompson + Wiggins + Towns, the proper five All-Stars, or let's exaggerate, this is the configuration of the Big Five, just like with the arrival of Durant, cousin Cousins also joined, then fans and friends will call it the Big Five Warriors, so that the league ushered in the finale of the lineup! Now it seems that everything needs to see the performance of the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs this season, and the current record is enough for this Warriors without Curry and Wiggins to step into the playoffs, but the playoffs are the time to test them, and it will largely determine whether the deal exposed by the US media is possible, all waiting for this summer's championship to be revealed to bring us the answer!
