This season, the Warriors missed the playoffs and announced the end of the dynasty, but is this team really not competitive for the championship?
As the oldest Duncan in the Spurs' GDP group, his last championship was 37 years old, could it be that Curry, who is about to turn 37, can't hit the championship again next season?
Together, we will treat the Warrior pulse and prescribe the right medicine.
1. Give up the five-small style of death
The three-point range of the young Curry and Thompson, coupled with the transition of offense and defense led by Green, the Warriors at that time had to defend and attack.
Nowadays, with aging and degraded defense, even the stability of three-point shooting is sunny and cloudy, especially in the league where three-point shooting is prevalent, the Warriors really have no advantage.
So, wake up, don't be obsessed with this tactic, the era of one trick is over.
2. Keep Thompson and send Wiggins
Thompson, the inner rebelliousness is vividly reflected this season!
Keku has been fighting together for more than ten years, and they are inseparable both tacitly and emotionally.
They are more like the trio of Captain Touching Gold who blow out the lamp, living together and dying separately.
Thompson knows very well in his heart that after leaving the Warriors, it is equivalent to leaving his comfort zone, who will get used to his mood.
Therefore, Thompson took a pay cut to stay on the team and fight for another championship with Curry Green, and the Warriors are the best choice!
And Wiggins, don't go into details, must be sent away!
3. Abandon Rooney and seek a rim center
Looney, like the Heat's Haslem, is willing to be a blue-collar worker for the Warriors, working hard.
But this season, he has a visible decline, and his finishing ability under the basket is weak, but now his movement speed and rebounding ability are not as good as before.
As a result, Looney will be included in the trade chips, and the Warriors will have to look for a more athletic rim-protecting center to compensate for the weakness of the interior!
Today I saw a fairly reliable trade, BR reporter Eric Pincus posted a three-way trade proposal for the 76ers, Warriors, and Trail Blazers, as follows:
76ers get: Wiggins, $1.1 million in cash (from Trail Blazers)
Warriors get: Brogdon, Robert Williams
Trail Blazers get: Looney, No. 16 pick (from 76ers), 22.5 million trade exceptions (Wiggins), 4.4 million (trade exceptions)
In addition to Curry, the Warriors have been missing a second ball-handling core, and Brogdon, as the former sixth man of the year, averaged 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game this season, and he can be the second firepower point for the Warriors to create offense independently.
In addition, although Robert Williams is plagued by injuries, he can average 10 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game when he is healthy, which is missing from the Warriors' interior line.
In addition, there is TJD on the bench, and as long as Robert Williams is limited to playing time, the health problem can be managed.
In this way, the Warriors' shortcomings are solved.
Starters: Curry + Thompson + Kuminga + Green + Robert
Subs: Brogdon, Podzemski, Moody, TJD
With this lineup, the Warriors can still attack the championship, at least there is nothing wrong with making the playoffs.
