At present, the NBA league on the other side of the ocean is still in the offseason. After negotiation, the teams finally decided to start the new season before Christmas this year. As long as the Christmas battle can be maintained, the NBA and each team can get more income, and the players will also benefit from it. In this way, there is not much time left for the teams to reinforce. After all, they have to deal with the player contracts of the current lineup and also have to prepare for the draft. At this point in time, teams that did not participate in the rematch last season will have the advantage, such as the Golden State Warriors.
was trapped by injuries. The Warriors fell to the bottom last season and missed the rematch, but they also gave the main players enough rest time. According to statistics, the players of the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers who participated in the Finals had only more than 70 days off, but the Warriors have been off for more than 200 days. After the core players come back from injury, the entire Warriors team will burst out extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they have not given up on the reinforcement lineup. In addition to constantly recruiting Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks, the Warriors won the second pick of this year's draft and are expected to choose a usable center.
However, compared to cultivating newcomers, the Warriors who hope to quickly return to the championship level are still eager to directly have famous stars, so they eyed the San Antonio Spurs and Aldridge. Recently, ESPN Zach Lowe revealed in a show that news that the Warriors plans to send the second pick in exchange for the No. 11 pick in the hands of Aldridge and the Spurs. Zach Lowe thinks this is difficult to achieve, because the Warriors do not have enough salary to accommodate Adelaide, and Adelaide is not worth letting the Warriors send the second pick.
But in fact, the Warriors have the cap space to complete such a transaction. As early as a week ago, when the team and team reporter Nick Friedell revealed that the Warriors were interested in trading for Oubre, they pointed out that the Warriors had previously traded Iguodala. In exchange for the team's $17.2 million worth of special transactions. Considering that Ade's salary is not high, the Warriors can completely realize this deal by sending away the trade exception. And for the Warriors, Adelaide is worth the team's bet.
At the same time, the Warriors also scored an 11th pick with one stone. According to previous reports, the Warriors are very optimistic about the rookie Obi Topping. This 22-year-old striker has a very good immediate strength and can fill up the shortcomings of the Warriors' striker, and his expected ranking is about 10. In this way, the Warriors directly completed the reinforcement of the two positions through a single transaction, which not only formed a five-star starting lineup of Curry + Clay + Wiggins + Green + Ade, and quickly improved the team's immediate strength. . It also brought the potential striker Obitopin to the bench to further enhance the thickness of the Warriors lineup and the team's future growth space.
