According to league ESPN reporter Maec.J.Soearsw, multiple sources revealed that more than half of the teams in the league are interested in getting Durant , The Warriors are one of the teams that are "paying close attention".
The chips they are willing to offer include Poole, Wiggins, Kuminga, Wiseman.
Poole: A capable guard who averaged 17 points per game in the playoffs and is expected to have an annual salary of more than 20 million in the future;
Wiggins: Outstanding defensive ability, outstanding physical fitness, and all kinds of martial arts can reach some peaks Forward;
Kuminga: Excellent physical talent, and there is still three years of potential forward on the rookie contract;
Wiseman: Excellent physical talent, and there is still two years of potential center on the rookie contract.
By the way, apart from being smart, the other three of the above four have championship experience.
The combination of two immediate combat capabilities + two potential rookies is almost the most valuable bargaining chip the Warriors have at the moment.
If the Warriors are determined to get Durant back, then it is not impossible to add some draft picks.
After all, judging from Curry 's state this season, the Warriors' first-round picks in the next few years will not be too valuable. .
So back to the question most fans raised, why did the Warriors dismantle the championship lineup?
The more likely reason is that the team is having trouble renewing the contracts of Wiggins and Poole.
Curry is worth 50 million+, Thompson is worth 340 million+, Wiggins is likely to sign a maximum salary of 40 million next year, plus Green, Rooney, and Wiseman add up to a contract worth close to 50 million. How can he give Poole more money? High price?
If it is destined that Wiggins and Poole cannot stay at the same time, instead of letting them go in vain, it is better to trade them in advance and replace some things.
Of course, this is only one of the possibilities. After all, Durant, as a player who has suffered serious injuries and is not young, overdrafting too many team chips may not be a good choice.
Therefore, some fans also mentioned that the Warriors are just raising prices.
There is no shortage of this possibility. Currently, Durant is most likely to join the Suns. Once the deal is completed, it will pose a certain threat to the Western Conference championship teams.
In this case, it is a good way to raise the price before Durant joins and try to weaken the strength of Adu's next team.
By the way, although many fans think this is unlikely, when thinking about the atmosphere in the locker room and the face of chasing dreams after Adu returns to the Warriors,
can't help but sigh: Cruel, too cruel...
