NBA regular season has played more than 10 games. Judging from the record, the performance of the two strong teams in the West, , Lakers and Warriors is surprising. Now after losing to the Kings, the record is already on par with the last Rockets . If the Lakers' combat effectiveness declines, it is mainly because the personal abilities of James and Westbrook are incompatible with each other. The defending champion of Golden State Warriors only achieved a bad record of 5 wins and 7 losses this season, which is a bit difficult to understand. You should know that Warriors basically retained the lineup of last season, including Wiggins, Poole and other heroes who won the championship stayed at the team. With such a bad record, I'm afraid even Curry and head coach Cole are puzzled.
The only way for the Warriors to successfully defend the championship is probably to start the trading button and change the current lineup. According to James Piercey, a famous trading analysis expert in NBA, the Warriors' management has contacted the top leaders of the Philadelphia team to discuss related transactions about the core 76ers' inside Embiid . The specific trading plan is: the Warriors send Andrew Wiggins , Klay Thompson , 2023 first round pick, 2025 first round pick, 2027 first round pick and 2029 first round pick to exchange 76ers Joel Embiid and Mattis Seble . When it comes to the Warriors' trading plan, they are full of sincerity and give away two core cores of , Wiggins, , Clay, and 4 first-round draft picks. Tang Shen , who has returned from injury, has dropped to 15.1 points per game this season, and the hot three-pointer feel is gone. With the rise of young player Poole, perhaps Thompson is no longer a non-sale product for the Warriors. Wiggins is full of talent, but he is not active on the court. In order to protect the team's salary structure, trading Wiggins is also a good choice.
Warriors led the league's small ball trend and also assisted in coaching the Warriors dynasty, but their inside problems have not been resolved. As the inside core of the Sixers, Embiid can average 28+10 per game this season. Although Embiid's style of play is relatively soft, it has been questioned by Philadelphia fans, Embiid's athletic ability is quite excellent, and the Warriors also need his inside frame protection ability to make up for the shortcomings in the inside. Moreover, before the start of this season, there was an internal strife between Poole and Green , and the issue of Green's contract renewal became confusing. If Embiid can be obtained through trades, the Warriors will not have to worry about the impact of Green's departure on the team's inside line. Instead, they will free up salary space for the team to further strengthen.
For Philadelphia, they have introduced many former Rockets players this season, and the team's tactical intentions are already very obvious. They will compete for the championship with James Harden as the tactical core. Although Embiid didn't say anything, he must have understood in his heart that he is no longer the real boss of the team, which may also prompt Embiid to leave Philadelphia. When the Rockets and Warriors fought in the Western Conference, it can be said that the tactical systems of the two teams are both based on running and shooting. Although Clay's condition is no longer as good as before, his outstanding defensive ability, championship experience and external deterrence will give 76ers a huge help. And there is no need to worry that Wiggins and Clay will not be able to integrate into the 76ers tactical system. Instead, the arrival of the two will form a seamless link with the team, not to mention that there are four first-round draft picks ready for the team's future deals.
The old saying goes, if you are poor, you will change. This season, the Warriors and the 76ers are both popular teams to compete for the championship, but the performance of both teams at the beginning was not very ideal. If the Warriors and Philadelphia reach this 6-for-2 deal, the Warriors can make up for their inside shortcomings and further clear the team's salary structure, including Clay Wiggins and Green's three core cores, all may leave the team. The team will compete for the 10,000-strong lineup with Embiid and Curry as core components. After Philadelphia completed this transaction, it meant that they had put all their treasures on Harden.
