For the Warriors, the biggest thing this year is Thompson's departure, and the Warriors have also started offseason reinforcement work, following Lee Kyle and Melton joining the Warriors, just today according to a joint report by Shams &Woj, the Warriors have agreed to get Hield from the 76ers through a sign-and-trade deal.
According to reports from Woj and Shams, Hield's new contract is four years, with a salary of $8.7 million in the first year and $9.3 million in the second year, and the two-year contract is fully guaranteed, the guaranteed part in the third year is 3 million, and the fourth year is a player option. Last season, Hield played in 84 regular-season games (two more due to a midseason trade), averaging 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 38.6 percent from three-point range.
Hield is the player who has made the most threes in the last five seasons. Hield has made 1,322 three-pointers in the past five seasons, while Curry ranks second with 1,264 three-pointers.
After the Warriors get Hield, they can make up for the shortcomings of the lack of three-point firepower after losing Thompson. This three-point firepower combination will undoubtedly greatly enhance the Warriors' outside threat and become an offensive weapon that opponents will be difficult to guard against. Hield and Curry could form a new Splash Brothers, perhaps with an unexpected effect.
Hield is now 31 years and 201 days old, which is more durable than Clay, who is 34 years old and has two major injuries. He is one of the well-known iron men, playing 82 games in his rookie season, 80 in 2017-18, 82 in 2018-19, and 81, 80 and 84 regular season games in the last three seasons - Hield has played 8 seasons in his career so far, including 6 seasons with 80+!
In the previously concluded men's basketball qualifying tournament for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Spain, the Bahamas defeated Poland 90-81 and won two consecutive victories to advance to the semifinals of the region. In this game, Hield can be described as an all-round play, playing 34 minutes and 12 seconds, shooting 6 of 15, 5 of 10 three-pointers, contributing 17 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
According to Slater's calculations, after getting Hield, it is equivalent to the Warriors using Thompson to sign first and then exchange for Lee Kyle and Hield. Hilde can pitch, burst, pass, and be durable, with an average of only 9 million per year for the first two years of the contract. Lee Kyle, the offensive can shoot mid-range and the ability to respond belongs to the S-level among role players, and the defense can be defended from 1 to 5 is an excellent inside answer to the small-ball lineup, the championship puzzle, the Warriors have made a lot of money!
Kan Kan has a hunch that the Warriors are going to change their appearance in the new season, from the perspective of the puzzle, Li Kaier may be the best reinforcement for the Warriors in the last 2 years, if the Warriors can introduce Markkanen without sending Kuminga, I think there is a play for the championship!
