Since Curry's comeback on March 6, the Warriors have suffered two consecutive losses, and Poole, who returned to the bench, also had a complete showdown, and said in an interview: I can lead the team to five consecutive wins, and my statistics are no worse than any player on the team, why I still can't start, and letting me play as a bench now is insulting me!
And just after the team lost to the Thunder, Curry said bluntly after the game: No matter what we have achieved in the past, we have not proved that we can win by talent. Obviously, Curry has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the team, and the current situation indicates that the Warriors have infighting. In fact, since the beginning of Chasing Green Boxing Poole last season, the team has lost its previous unity and lack of communication. After that, the management's four-year $140 million salary renewal was even more hasty. Judging from the overall performance this season, Poole don't say that he will succeed Curry, even if he can afford to extend his contract, it is already a blessing.
And since Poole's high-salary contract extension, it seems to have changed as a person, not only often saying wild words, but also offending the three big guys of the team. Previously, Curry was angry with his braces due to a random shot in the final moments of the game, and then crossed Klay to execute technical free throws, causing Klay's dissatisfaction; And now the failure to pass the ball to Dream Green caused the latter to be angry and refused to retreat. Poole's high profile has apparently angered the Warriors' three veterans, but Poole doesn't seem to be aware of his problem, and he is still putting himself in the position of the team's successor, openly asking for the starting position. Obviously, the reason why Poole is slumped on the bench is probably to protest with actual performance, which has also caused dissatisfaction in the team, and this contradiction has reached an irreconcilable state!
Kerr was also interviewed after the game against the Thunder, and when talking about the team, Coach Kerr said: "Our team is always very slow and hot, and I am trying to change the lineup, including the current starting line-up adjustment, but obviously we are still behind, there is no obvious change, some players just have a hard time getting into the best form of the game, and I want to know what is the reason, what happened to our team. And there is a lack of trust between our players at the moment, and there is a clear lack of communication, which also cost us a lot in the game, and we also discussed the issue of trust and cooperation, but it didn't change substantially! ”
It can be seen from Kerr's interview that he is also helpless about the team's current performance, and this season's Warriors have also tried the three-guard or even four-guard mode, but it has not been too good, and it is not how keen Kerr is about guard tactics, but the team has been recognized by the team's strength after the big contract extension of Poole. Referring to the Heat's Hilo, after signing a big contract last offseason, he got the team's absolute starting position this season, which will inevitably make young Poole more worried, after all, as the future of the Warriors, and won the championship, Poole now definitely wants to get a more important role and team status, but in the current Warriors, does Poole really have the strength to dominate the king?
Now Poole is indeed a little impetuous, and has become particularly high-profile, he is eager to take over, but his strength does not allow, and if he continues to toss like this, I am afraid that the final peak of Curry, Klay and Dream Green will be wasted by him. And since Poole's top salary extension, it has also caused dissatisfaction among other players, and other members of the team's contract expiration this summer will definitely ask for a worth-worthy extension, and will not make salary reduction concessions, and it may be very difficult for the Warriors to retain the current roster, which is also extremely detrimental to the construction of the team.
How do you think the Warriors should resolve the current conflict?
