After Klay Thompson signed with the Mavericks, many NBA media and players sighed: "The era of Kuchai Tang is over, and the Warriors have officially entered a rebuild!" ”
But the 35-year-old Curry is still in his prime, averaging 26.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game this season, with a three-point shooting rate of 40.8%!
Warriors owner Lacob, after "tactically abandoning" Klay, can finally build a championship-winning lineup in the post-Curry era.
After the free market opened, the Warriors closed two trades first!
The first, 1 year 12.8 million signed Melton, supplementing the backup firepower after Klay Thompson left.
The second one, 3 years and 27 million signed Li Kaier, he is a replacement version of Dream Green, with excellent organization and off-ball cover ability, and although the defense is not as good as Green, the shooting is better than Green.
His joining can be put on the bench to organize the second lineup, or it can be placed in the finishing lineup, partnering with Curry and Green, and can evolve a variety of tactical plays.
These are just pieces of the championship puzzle, the real big trade has surfaced, and the Warriors' number one target is Markkanen for the Jazz.
The 27-year-old Markkanen averaged 23.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season, shooting 39.9% from three-point range!
In addition, he has a height of 2.13 meters, which can increase the interior height of the Warriors and make up for the shortcomings of the lack of frame protection.
The Warriors decided to continue to sacrifice future assets and use "4 first-round picks + Moody + Wiggins" as the core chips, but the Jazz may want to get Kuminga more!
If the Warriors can get Markkanen without trading Kuminga.
The Warriors still have the strength to challenge for a championship next season, and Curry will be closer to winning a fifth career championship than Klay Thompson.
