On June 28, Beijing time, the second round of the NBA Draft ended, the 24th draft officially came to an end, the Lakers selected Bronny with the 55th pick to promote the father and son on the same stage, and the Rockets traded the No. 44 pick back to the big-hearted shooter AJ Griffin, and the Warriors were not idle, in the absence of a first-round pick in their hands, the Warriors made a second round of efforts, and in the case of only holding a No. 52 pick in their hands, they successfully ate two fish, completed the transaction + draft, won the 17+8 big center, and inquired about the old Durant.

Operation 1: Trade No. 52 signature

Before the start of the second round, according to Yahoo Sports' Jaker Fisher, the Warriors and the Thunder completed a trade, with the former sending the No. 52 pick in exchange for Lindy Waters, and the other named Shams later confirmed the authenticity of the news.

Waters is a 20-year draft pick, 26 years old, 1.98 meters tall, playing on the wing, he played 38 games for the Thunder in the 23-24 season, averaging only 7.4 minutes per game, and can hand over 3.6 points and 1.1 rebounds.

With the Thunder trading back to Caruso and a succession of new stars in the draft, Waters has no room to develop and rotate, according to Michael Scotto of the Athletic, Waters has a 2.2 million team option in the 24-25 season, and the Warriors plan to keep him.

Operation 2: Spend money to buy back the No. 52 sign

After completing the trade with the Warriors, the Thunder continued to trade around the No. 52 pick, first trading back to No. 40 from the Trail Blazers and then No. 38 from the Knicks.

As a result, the No. 52 pick went to the Trail Blazers, who had a lot of money in the draft and didn't care about the No. 52 pick, so the Warriors bought the No. 52 pick back with cash.

According to Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, the Warriors bought back the No. 52 pick from the Trail Blazers for cash and drafted Quinton Post.

Due to the use of cash in the transaction, the Warriors triggered the second hard cap, and the team's total salary must not exceed the second local tyrant line (about 190 million), and due to the increased penalties after the implementation of the second-gear luxury tax line, the normal Warriors will not choose to exceed the second-gear luxury tax, so the overall problem is not big.

The 24-year-old Post is a 2.13-meter-tall space center who averaged 17 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in the 23-24 season, and averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game on 43% shooting.

In addition to his accurate three-point shooting, his height of 2.13m also makes him the tallest player on the Warriors' current roster, having previously been 2.08m Saric .

Operation 3: Quote Durant

According to Ramona Shelburne, who revealed on Bay Area radio station 957 The Game, the Warriors are actively bringing in big-name helpers for Curry and have asked the Suns, Clippers and Jazz about the trade price of Durant, George and Markkanen.

Previously, Wenhorst also revealed that the Warriors are one of the few teams willing to offer George a 4-year full salary contract, but the famous Stephen A. Smith is not optimistic about the prospect of George joining the Warriors.

Because George isn't a catch-and-shoot player, his addition would disrupt the Warriors' rhythm.

While the Warriors are actively bringing in stars, some players in the team have also been poached by the outside world, and Klay is one of them.

According to Hardwood Paroxysm, the Magic are willing to offer Klay a short-term two-year, $50 million contract to improve the team's offensive efficiency, which is the league's bottom-ninth offense.

In addition to Klay, the Magic are also willing to use this contract to sign Pope, who has a $15.44 million player option and is eligible to jump out of the contract.

Compared to Klay, Pope is more reliable in defense and stability, but the ceiling and production are far inferior to Klay.
