The Golden State Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament and ultimately missed the playoffs, and it was clear that their 23-24 season was a disappointment. At present, Klay Thompson's contract extension is pending, Paul's $30.8 million non-guaranteed contract awaits the Warriors despite making a decision, Green is busy with his live show, Curry, Kuminga and Moody are all eligible for an early contract extension, and whether the Warriors management will completely rebuild, or reorganize the team around Curry and attack the championship again, is the focus of the outside world. The authoritative American media bleachers recently wrote that the Warriors can bring in a superstar this summer to create a new dynasty that is sure to win next season's championship. And the name of this star is Giannis Antetokounmpo (Brother Alphabet).
A blockbuster trade package for Greek freaks
Warrior obtained: Brother Alphabet
The Bucks get: Wiggins, Kuminga, Moses Moody, Payton Jr., 2027 first-round pick swap, 2028 first-round pick, 2029 first-round pick swap
Due to the injury of Brother Alphabet, it is difficult for the Milwaukee Bucks to beat the Pacers in the first round, the Bucks' defense in the regular season has serious flaws (ranked 21st in the league), and in the absence of Brother Alphabet, the Bucks' defense is even worse, becoming a major problem, Lillard's addition has not brought a good improvement to the Bucks, and their record is not even as good as last season, which has to make Brother Alphabet rethink the future of the team. Before the Lillard trade was completed, Antetokounmpo made it clear that winning the championship was his top priority and said that he didn't care which team he was on and who he was with, as long as he won the championship. Joining forces with Curry is undoubtedly the most ideal choice for Brother Alphabet.
The Warriors could persuade Klay Thompson to take a pay cut to stay with the team by trading him, and if Klay is willing to accept a contract with an annual salary of $15 million to $20 million, then the Warriors' salary space will not be so tight. At that time, the Warriors will retain the Splash Brothers, a pair of three-point sharpshooters, whose presence will greatly amplify the threat posed by Antetokounmpo hitting the basket. The owner of the Warriors will also get his wish on the basis of "Ku Chaitang" to form a super big four combination of "Kuchai Tang", and the Warriors will become a team that cannot be ignored in the league.
Secondly, from the perspective of age structure, although Klay, Curry, and Dream are all at the end of their careers, Brother Alphabet is in his prime of play, and he is expected to seamlessly become the future leader of the Warriors, and continue to help the Warriors maintain strong competitiveness and maintain their high market value. With the addition of Antetokounmpo, the Warriors could win a championship in the upcoming season, ushering in a new era for the Golden State Warriors.
A starting lineup that no one can beat
After the trade is completed, the Warriors' starters will be Curry, Poziemski, Klay Thompson, Antetokounmpo and Dream Green. Curry plays as a point guard, and his unmatched shooting and playmaking ability will continue to solidify the Warriors' offensive system. Klay Thompson will provide elite-level outside shooting that brings space. Poziemski is a young and promising player who will add another scoring threat and playmaker to the squad. His versatility and ability to create his own shots are a perfect fit for the Warriors' fast-paced style of play.
He will bring top-tier size, athleticism and rim-attacking ability to the Warriors. He's more of a threat in the paint, can score quickly in transitions, and can defend multiple positions, all of which will make the Warriors' offense and defense stronger. Playing alongside elite shooters like Curry and Thompson can also make him more emboldened to misplace his opponents. Green will focus more on defense and playmaking to be a true blue-collar interior lineman. Under Kerr's guidance, the Warriors became an unstoppable team on both ends of the floor.
How can the Warriors improve roster depth?
If the Warriors want to improve the depth of the roster, they not only need Klay to take a salary cut to stay with the team, but also need to reject the $30.8 million contract of star Paul, and then sign him with a more suitable contract.
Paul's scoring ability has dropped a lot, but he brings great playmaking and leadership to the bench. This season, he is averaging 9.2 points and 6.8 assists per game, making him the team's sixth man, and if Paul accepts a contract under 1,000 annual salaries, it will undoubtedly be the most suitable option for both parties.
Lester Kinones is a young and talented winger whose ability to shoot from the outside and attack the basket will fill the void created by Kuminga's departure and add another scoring void to the bench, TJD is a skilled and versatile forward who is averaging 7.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game this season, and he can finish near the basket, grab rebounds on both ends of the floor, and defend multiple positions, providing more depth and flexibility to the Warriors' bench. Kevon Looney deserves to be reinstated by Kerr, who remains a reliable and trustworthy big man who brings to the bench.
In addition, with the addition of Brother Alphabet and Curry's pressing, the Warriors are enough to attract a large number of powerful veterans with a base salary to join.
A dynasty that will bring at least one NBA championship
Despite some complaints that the Golden State Warriors' dynasty is over, they have the potential to build a new dynasty that will bring at least one more NBA championship. In the West, the Warriors will face competition from the likes of the Denver Nuggets, who boast Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, and beyond that, no team in the West has the top talent and roster depth like the Warriors. With these factors in mind, the Warriors are on track to win at least the 2025 NBA Championship and have a good chance of winning more championships in the years to come. With veteran leadership, elite shooting, and Antetokounmpo's defensive prowess, the Warriors could indeed build a new dynasty in the NBA.
