Just days after being eliminated, Warriors general manager Miles Bob announced that he was leaving the team and would no longer be the team's president of operations. This phenomenon is difficult for Warriors fans and Warriors players to accept, after all, his presence is crucial to the Warriors dynasty, whether it is the addition of Durant or Wiggins, he has his credit. And his departure means that the Warriors owner may trade the rest of the players except Curry, especially those who do not match the current strength and annual salary, such as Poole, Klay, Green and others may fall prey.
All in all, Poole and Green cannot coexist, although the two have shaken hands and made peace on the surface, but the hurdle in their hearts has never been able to pass. Looking at Poole's play in the playoffs, we can tell a thing or two. In order to restore a more harmonious environment for the team, the Warriors management will inevitably split the two, and one of them may be sent away.
You may find it cruel and unacceptable, but the NBA has always been a business and a for-profit organization, and it is impossible to let the interests of the team lose for the sake of the fans' feelings. At this point, the team's management must be responsible for the result, after all, they are only the boss's workers.
This doesn't? The American media "FW" provided the Warriors with a "5-for-2" trade plan, involving the two teams are the Warriors and the Clippers, and the specific transaction content is: the Warriors use Wiggins, Poole, Moody, Payton Jr., and 1 first-round as a bargaining chip, and get Leonard and Mann from the Clippers trade.
For the Clippers, George and Leonard have been working together for more than three years, once again showing that the two are incompatible in their style of play, and there is no way to achieve the magic of one plus one is greater than two. So in the offseason, Ballmer is likely to split the two and bring in healthier players to the team. In this deal, the Clippers got four younger and more dynamic players: Wiggins, Poole, Moody, and Payton Jr.
Compared to Leonard, Wiggins is personally healthier, and he can provide the team with more consistent offensive and defensive strength. And Poole can also make up for the lack of outside ball handling, and Moody and Payton Jr. can improve the Clippers' outside defense. Arguably, this deal gives the Clippers a chance at a new life.
And the Warriors? The goal of the new season is actually very clear, that is, to continue to attack the championship around Curry's fleet. It can be said that all trades and signings that have nothing to do with the championship will be abandoned. In this deal, being able to get Leonard and Mann, the Warriors' outside offensive firepower will become very stable, and get a big killer comparable to Durant, once again making up for the lack of offensive ability.
Although there is a certain hidden danger, that is, Leonard's attendance and physical condition are not guaranteed, but the Warriors are still worth a try for the championship. Not only that, but the team is very good at using these players with a glass physique, referencing Porter last season. It is also very rare for Leonard to be able to make the most of his talents in such a system, and presumably the brokerage team behind it will also consider this deal, because it is an attempt to achieve a win-win situation.
Fans familiar with Curry must know very well that this is a historical supergiant with a very broad heart, and since he can tolerate Durant playing around, it will certainly not be a big problem for the more reticent Leonard to get along with Curry. Instead, the two will make each other what they do. During the regular season, Curry and Leonard didn't have to work too hard, learning Butler to save his physical strength until the playoffs, so that they could achieve each other's championship dreams.
And when Curry ages, Leonard will be able to take over the mantle and become the successor of the Warriors, and I believe that Warriors owner Lacob will not reject such a vision.
