Klay Thompson suddenly reached an agreement with the Mavericks, like a sudden storm, and the Warriors' sky instantly became cloudy. When the Warriors had no gains, the team also lost two big players, which made Curry angry, and Curry had already shouted to the management that reinforcements must be introduced!
Klay decided not to renew his contract with the Golden State Warriors, and chose the Dallas Mavericks for his next stop, signing a three-year, $50 million contract. As soon as the news came out, the Warriors' fan circle was like a frying pan, and everyone was asking, "Klay, what do you want?" "Warriors, Warriors, you don't stay, Lakers, Lakers, you don't go, you choose this place?
Mike Dunleavy II, the general manager of the Warriors, may be scratching his head in his office, thinking, "Well, how do I have to explain this to Curry?" "Klay Thompson's departure is like the loss of a sharp sword for the Warriors. They are definitely a first two big now, Curry still wants to return to the top next season, but unfortunately the team has no revenue in the market, the Warriors and Lakers are simply two black hole teams, and no one wants to touch them,
Last season, the Warriors' performance was both loved and hated. Now they're letting Klay go with a trade player exception and two second-round picks, which is simply playing with fire. The Warriors' lineup changes are like playing Russian turntables, and you never know what will happen in the next second.
Once Dunleavy took office, his job was to keep the Warriors on the winning side, even if it was a small one. Now, it seems that he has not shown the negotiating ability and creativity he should have in building his roster. Instead, he put the Warriors in a desperate situation. Now, Warriors fans may have begun to miss Klay Thompson's heroics on the court, and the reality is that the Warriors need to look forward and they need to find a new way out.
The Warriors' current roster, to be honest, may not even be sustainable for next season. They are no longer strong enough to support Curry to come close to winning a championship in the final two seasons of his contract. The Warriors also seem to lack a clear path to improvement. The Warriors recently agreed to bring in D'Antoni Melton with a mid-range exception, a guard who has good defensive qualities but has just recovered from injury and his shooting ability leaves much to be desired. This deal, for the Warriors, is just a drop in the bucket.
Klay Thompson's departure deprived the Warriors of a scorer who averaged 18 points per game and shot 38.7 percent from three-point range. That's a huge loss for the Warriors. The Warriors' trade exception can only be used to buy low-paid players, and it can't change the status quo for the Warriors.
Warriors fans have begun to call on the team to cash in all upcoming draft picks in exchange for another "star" player. Truth be told, that's not the most important thing for the Warriors to do right now. The Warriors are on a downward trend, Curry's contract expires, and a full bottom is inevitable.
Only then will the Warriors realize the importance of those draft picks. That's the only way to get back to victory. All in all, things are looking dire for the Warriors right now. That's life, sometimes you need to accept reality and move on. Maybe Warriors fans need to start adjusting to life without Klay Thompson
