On May 17, Beijing time, there were 3 messages from the Golden State Warriors, let's take a look.
The celebrity taunted Curry
Today, NBA legend Tracy McGrady talked about Warriors star Stephen Curry in a guest show, Maddy said: "Curry is a good player, but a large part of his success is due to good luck. The Warriors have a great team, and if Curry was in the Hornets, he wouldn't have won four championships. In other words, if I had teammates like Curry, I probably wouldn't have fewer career championships than him. It is worth mentioning that last year Maddie said on the show that Curry did not deserve the top 10 in history, and he was overrated.
Fans have a lot of discussion about Maddy's statement, and some people said: "Indeed, Curry's style of play is too dependent on his teammates, and if it weren't for the Warriors' environment to provide him with help and bonuses, he would definitely not be able to achieve what he is today." Some people said: "It's funny, when Curry first came to the Warriors, he was still a fish belly team, and Curry brought it up to become stronger, so how can it be lucky." Besides, Curry has paid a lot for all four championships, and Maddie is just talking nonsense. So what do you think about this?
Green is sure to stay
This season, Warriors forward Draymond Green has caused a lot of trouble, twice suspended for clashing with opponents on the court, which also caused the Warriors to lose games they shouldn't have lost, and also laid the groundwork for the Warriors to fall to 10th in the West and be eliminated by the Kings in the play-in tournament. For this reason, many fans have suggested that the Warriors should send this time bomb away as soon as possible, otherwise the Warriors will have a difficult road ahead next season. On November 15, in the Warriors' game against the Timberwolves, Green locked Gobert and was banned for five games; On Dec. 13, during the Warriors' game against the Suns, Green was suspended for 12 games after punching Nurkic while in position. Combined with the games he missed for form and injury, Green played just 55 games in the entire regular season.
Today, according to Bay Area reporter Monteple, although Green has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble to the Warriors on and off the court, Warriors owner Lacob and general manager Dunleavy Jr. still support Green, still consider him one of the core members and leaders of the team, and also see Green as an indispensable part of the team's championship in the coming seasons. It is not difficult to see that the Warriors basically will not move Green. The author believes that if Green can play on his own, he is indeed a key part of the Warriors, and he can also bring a lot of help. But the problem is that there is a big question mark over whether Green's fiery temper can be completely corrected. In other words, if the Warriors aren't ready to trade, they have to be prepared for the dire consequences of Green's thunderstorm.
45+13 strikers are expected to join
Today, according to local media reports in New York, the Brooklyn Nets want to make changes to the roster and are willing to listen to offers for Bridges this summer. According to the outlet, several teams in the league have Bridges, including the Warriors. The 27-year-old Bridges is 1.98m tall and weighs 95kg, serving as a forward on the court, playing for the Suns and the Nets in his 6-year NBA career, playing a total of 474 games, averaging 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.7 minutes per game, shooting 48%, 37.5% and 84.6% from three, with a maximum of 45 points and 13 rebounds, and was selected as the best defensive team.
Bridges is a player with clear strengths and weaknesses. The advantage is that he is tall and has long arms, well-rounded scoring skills, and is very aggressive on the defensive end, which can take on the heavy responsibility of marking the opponent's arrowhead and all kinds of dirty work. The disadvantage is that there is a gap between the ability to control the movement and the top athletes, and the ability to score independently is not stable enough. For the Warriors, Bridges is the kind of forward the team needs, and in the Warriors, he can also play on his strengths and avoid weaknesses and provide help. The problem now is that the Warriors have limited leverage (Wiggins or Paul, Moody, and two future first-round picks) to impress Nets management.
