On October 20, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors were definitely the dominant team in the league in previous years, but this offseason, it can also be called very chaotic, and now the team is slowly finding the right direction. Whether it is the departure of members such as Myers and Poole, or the arrival of Paul, it has caused a certain impact on the Golden State Warriors, but the current Golden State Warriors still make Golden State fans expect, after all, the chemistry between preseason players is still very strong, so far, the Golden State Warriors have not lost a game on the preseason stage, and the players are in very good condition, as long as they can maintain, as long as they can play such a performance in the regular season, I believe that the regular season results will definitely not be bad. At the last minute, the deal was completed, the Titans returned to the NBA, Paul took the initiative to give in, and Cole was under increasing pressure.
Seeing that next season begins, the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers made a trade, but the trade was for future personnel reserves. Through the official disclosure of Los Angeles, the Golden State Warriors recently got Weatherspoon has been sent to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the latter will take out the first-round pick and second-round pick to trade, of course, just the signing of the development league. For the Golden State Warriors, this operation can also be called killing two birds with one stone, first of all, let the veteran who used to play for the team go to his favorite player, the Los Angeles Lakers, and it can be regarded as the continuation of his career. Secondly, the Golden State Warriors also received a draft pick from the Los Angeles Lakers, which is a draft pick for the Development League, but it is a good result.
Most importantly, Weatherspoon used to play for the Golden State Warriors, but last season, he could not get a contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, but instead entered the CBA. This means that the Golden State Warriors have no idea of continuing to team up with Weatherspoon, so they took out the signing rights of Weatherspoon and traded it to two draft picks, which is something that both sides are happy to see. Compared with the operation of the future personnel reserve, fans are more concerned about the overall state of the Golden State Warriors next season, or what kind of chemistry the Golden State Warriors players will play next season. And recently, Paul, a Hall of Fame-level point guard player, took the initiative to make concessions, and he also willingly sacrificed his team status, in the final analysis, he still hopes that the team will go further.
When playing the Kings in the preseason, the most memorable thing for fans must be Curry's last-minute kill. But in fact, the biggest good news for the Golden State Warriors is that Paul has become a substitute, and Paul is no longer seen in the starting five. Once Golden State fans have always been very worried, if the Golden State Warriors arrange a small lineup to play, the team's defensive problems will be very serious, and even defensive problems cannot be handled. Especially in the case of Dream Green, resulting in training activities and preseason stage, you can't see Dream Green, which means that Dream Green and Paul have not played together at all, naturally there will be no chemistry, which will also lead to the Golden State Warriors' regular season results will be affected to a certain extent. However, Paul is willing to serve as a substitute in the preseason, and the worries of the outside world and fans naturally disappear.
If Green returns to the game, the Golden State Warriors can arrange the original starting lineup, and if Paul becomes a backup, the tasks of the two players will definitely not have any conflict, and the defensive problem will be completely solved. The point is that since Paul entered the league, his leadership ability is unmatched, no matter what the strength of his teammates around him, as long as he follows Paul's side, these players can play more dominant. Let Paul lead the substitute players to play, no matter what angle of analysis, the dominance of the substitutes is stronger than when Poole led the team, which does not have much to do with the individual results of the two players, after all, Poole and Paul's influence on the rhythm of the game, or the victory or defeat of the game, is not a level of existence at all.
Since Paul agreed to make sacrifices, many of the Golden State Warriors' original problems have been solved, so all the pressure on the Golden State will have to be handled by Cole. Management has dealt with the locker room problem and Green's contract extension, and now Paul has approved of the coaching team's arrangement. If the Golden State Warriors still can't go further, it means that Kerr's coaching level is really not enough. At this critical moment, most fans are focused on Klay's contract extension. He could have renewed his contract with the Golden State Warriors, but he couldn't get results. But one thing to say, Cole is now also in trouble with contract extensions, and next season will still be Cole's contract year.
Cole's last salary contract, there is only one year left, under normal circumstances, most of the league's team managers, the renewal issue will not be delayed to the new season, after all, the manager's salary does not affect the team's salary cap at all, and it is impossible to increase the luxury tax amount of the Golden State Warriors, more importantly, Kerr is the builder of the Warriors dynasty, and is also a famous coach in the history of the league, in other words, if Kerr becomes a free coach, most teams will throw an olive branch to Kerr. However, the Golden State Warriors, when the new season has not yet begun, have been unable to solve Kerr's contract extension problem, and now the team has not officially announced, what is the problem, which has led to the increasing pressure on Cole, no matter what angle of analysis, Kerr has come to show his value.
