The incident about Greenbeat Poole seems to have come to an end. Judging from the latest news, there are three results for handling this matter:
1, Green was fined and temporarily suspended by the team, and is expected to return soon.
2, Poole accept Green's apology, and both sides will continue to be teammates.
3. The Warriors are expected to renew Poole early, and the contract amount will not be lower than Hiro.
, which is Green's punch. The most intuitive effect is to allow the Warriors to renew Poole's contract in advance. With the huge luxury tax already paying, the Warriors' early renewal of Poole is not the best choice. However, in this case, this is the best choice to stabilize Poole and give Poole an explanation.
If Poole renews the contract in advance, then Wiggins may not be able to keep it. After the contract expires next year, Wiggins will most likely leave.
Currently, the Warriors have three big contracts: Curry , Thompson , and Green. If Poole's contract is added next season, it will be difficult to keep Wiggins at a suitable price. Although Wiggins performed well during the Warriors, it is indeed 5 big contracts, which is still a bit too many for the Warriors.
2022-2023 season, the Warriors' lineup will be stronger than the team that won the championship last season. They retained Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins, Looney , and Poole's main lineup, as well as the comeback of Wiseman , and players such as Kumingga and Moody are also growing. But what is even more difficult is afterwards.
Curry will definitely not leave, and the Warriors also hope to keep Thompson and Green, after all, they are veterans. If Poole is also a big contract, it will be difficult for the Warriors. The best result is that in the summer of 2023, Green jumped out of the contract and then cut his salary to renew the contract. By 2024, Thompson also cuts his salary to renew the contract.
But no matter how Green cuts his salary, it is probably not enough to save Wiggins. So, if Poole renews his contract in advance, the Warriors' problem is to choose one of Green Wiggins. From an emotional perspective, the Warriors should give priority to keeping Green and letting Wiggins go, but if Green wants to leave himself, the Warriors will keep Wiggins.
However, no matter which one it is, under the pressure of 4 big contracts, the Warriors can only continue to take advantage of the rookie bonus. Fortunately, the Warriors' rookies are really good.
Assuming Wiggins leaves the team next season and Green stays in the team, then the Warriors still have Kumingga. If Kumingga cannot stand up, the Warriors can also sign a veteran with a minimum salary to make up for the shortcomings in the small forward position.
Due to salary issues, after losing Wiggins and renewing Poole, the Warriors' No. 3 position will be weakened, with the role of 3D, defense and three-pointers on the open space, and the responsibility of holding the ball and offense will be transferred outward and handed over to Curry, Thompson and Poole.
In terms of inside, Looney is still a dedicated person. Green's continuous decline can only be made up by Wiseman, but the two are different styles, so the Warriors will be forced to face transformation. If Green's state is really not good, Wiseman will be the Warriors' main attacker in the inside. In this case, Curry will have to switch back to ball mode.
Joined the Warriors in Cole . Before Green was enabled, Curry played the ball mode, which still needs to be run-in.
If Green leaves the team and Wiggins stays, similarly, Curry has to return to the ball mode because it is difficult to find the next Green.
So in the 2022-2023 season, in addition to following the previous tactics and styles of play, the Warriors should try more other styles of play to prepare for the future. At the same time, the Warriors' young rookies will have more opportunities to perform, because the Warriors need the rookies to perform well and use the rookies' "child labor price" to alleviate the salary pressure.
lineup, Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Looney, and Poole are the main lineups of the championship, and young players include Wiseman, Baldwin, Moody, and Kumingga. They must seize the opportunity to perform well. As for Iguodala , they are more of a spiritual leader.
