The window to understand the Warriors championship is closing: The only 0 signings this summer. Who can core aging introduce?

When the remaining 29 teams in the NBA league were recruiting troops to sign up one after another, especially many strong teams such as the Western Conference Rockets, Clippers, Nuggets and Mavericks, they continued to sign up for the championship, only the Warriors continued to be in the "0 signings" mode after the free market was opened. The Warriors are already in a backward situation in the arms race. Now only 9 people have contracts, and the core trio is 107 years old. Even if they are aiming at players such as Bill, Horford, Brogdon and Lillard, it is still unknown who they can introduce. Perhaps as Curry's father Dell Curry made a public statement in an interview: "The Warriors' window to win the championship is closing."

The free market opened: The Warriors "0 sign ups", and the Western powers launched an arms race

After the free market opened, the outside world once mocked the Lake Yong management as a lie-in-law boy, but now the Lakers management has left the Warriors management behind. Looking at the opening of the Warriors' free market, I'm sorry, according to US media statistics, the Warriors have become the only team among the 30 teams in the league that has been "0" to sign. The meritorious center Looney, who has won three championships in 10 years, left and turned to the Pelicans.

In fact, the Warriors are not without operations. They previously participated in the first seven-team deal in NBA history about Durant. The Warriors were able to choose No. 52 Tuxi (from the Suns) and No. 59 Mashaq (from the Rockets), but the bonus of the two second-round picks to the Warriors is about nothing.

In addition, the Warriors' team options for two second-round picks are Post's $1.9 million next season and Santos' $2.2 million next season. They performed well in the team's rotation last season.

Warriors also offered Kumingjia a one-year qualification quotation contract of $7.9 million, but Kumingjia's negotiations for an average salary of $30 million continue to be difficult to produce, and the Warriors are unwilling to "low-price" transactions to send Kumingjia away, which temporarily puts a deadlock between the two sides.

In contrast, the remaining 29 teams in the league have already made some achievements in the free market, especially the Western Conference's heroes quietly started the arms race.

The Lakers used two-year contracts to introduce Laravia and Ayton, and also renewed their contracts for one year to retain Hayes, and were interested in Horford and Lillard. Although the Lakers' current operations are not satisfactory and there is still a huge gap between James's requirements for the championship, at least the Lakers' management still has some operations, and the Lakers' operations are more about building a team with Doncic as the core in the future. James' needs are no longer the Lakers' "number one priority".

Rockets 7 introduced Durant in a big deal to strengthen the team's most missing key attack arrows. The three-year, $21.1 million welcomed the return of former player Capela, $122 million for five years, $50 million for two years, $50 million for VanVleet, $39 million for three years, and $36 million for three years, and Holiday, Jeff Green, etc.

The new champion Thunder maintains a solid core lineup. They renewed Alexander's contract with a super maximum salary of US$285 million in four years, US$24 million in three years, and Mitchell's contract with US$8.7 million in three years.

The Nuggets used Porter Jr. and the first round of 2032 pick to introduce Nets star Cameron Johnson, and signed the winner of the championship player Bruce Brown in one year, contract with $2.3 million, and exchanged Saric for Valancius as Jokic's substitute (Varancius wants to play back in Europe, and the Nuggets have notified Valancius to ask him to stay in the team to compete), and signed Hardaway Jr. for a basic salary of $2.3 million a year.

The Mavericks selected the 18-year-old "Son of America" ​​Flag, renewed Irving for 3 years and $119 million, renewed Gafford for 3 years and $54 million, introduced Russell for 2 years and $11.6 million, and renewed Exam for 1 year.

The Clippers renewed Harden's contract for 81.5 million US dollars in two years and Batum's contract, and obtained a deal from Collins, signed with Lopez for 16 million US dollars in two years and $16 million.

Warriors are waiting for?

The Warriors' lineup status: Only 9 people have contracts + choose 2 round picks, at least 3 people need to be added

Since the Warriors are still in the "0 signing" mode, only 9 of their current lineups have contracts, namely Curry, Butler, Zhu Meng, Moody, Hilder, Podgemsky, Santos, Davis and Post. The specific contract situation is as follows:

Butler: 2 years of contract left, complete free agent in the summer of 2027

Curry: 2 years of contract left, complete free agent in the summer of 2027

Dream: 2 years of contract left, second year of player option, summer of 2027 Full free agent

Hilder: 3 years of contract left, third year player option, full free agent

Davis: 2 years of contract left, second year team option, restricted free agent

Moody: 3 years of contract left, full free agent

Summer 28} Podjemsky: 2 years of contract left, all team options, restricted free agent

Post: 1 year of contract left, restricted free agent

Summer 2027, restricted free agent

Santos: 1 year of contract left (unsecured), restricted free agent

Jackson Ronaldo is a two-way contract player.

In addition, the Warriors also selected two second-round picks in this year's draft, namely Tuxi, No. 52 and No. 59 Mashaq.

The Warriors' existing lineup is obviously not very competitive in the Western Conference, especially the Warriors' core trio is too old, Curry is 37 years old, Butler is 35 years old, and dream-seeking 35 years old, and Hilder is 32 years old..

As Curry's father Dell Curry said: "As Curry, Dream Chasing and Butler grow older, their championship window is obviously closing. They must now make some decisions to ensure that the team is strong enough to win the championship. If they stay healthy, if Curry, Butler and Dream Chasing are healthy and have the right player combination to shoot better, then when you talk about the most difficult team in the Western Conference, they may return to the topic of championship competition."

Dell Curry's statement has too many "ifs", and it is obvious that they will find it difficult to achieve the perfect ideal model, especially if they need to add the right players.

The Warriors are interested in Bill Horford, Melton, Brogdon Lillard, etc., who can they introduce?

Looking at the Warriors' existing lineup, they need to introduce at least 3 additional personnel, so who should the Warriors introduce?

After the free market "no sense of existence" for many consecutive days, the big fish in the free market are basically gone, and the remaining free agents are Horford, Melton, Brogdon, Lillard, Paul, etc., as well as Bill, who is likely to reach a buyout with the Suns.

Currently, the Warriors are interested in many free agents, such as Horford, 39-year-old Lillard, 34-year-old Brogdon, 27-year-old Melton, etc., and 32-year-old Bill, who is about to buy out and resume his free agent.

However, the Warriors are also facing competitive pressure from multiple teams, Horford is also pursued by the Nuggets and the Lakers, and he still has the option to retire. Lillard is also interested in pursuing many teams, but he is likely not in a hurry to sign a contract. After all, he is now reimbursed due to injury season, so he can recover from injury first and then observe the situation in the league to seek a suitable team. Brogden, 32, and Melton, 27, are also suitors, among which Melton currently seems to be the most promising to return to the Warriors.

As for Bill is now the spokesperson for "high salary and low energy", but once he reaches a buyout with the Suns, he will definitely become a hot commodity, but the Warriors' competitiveness is not high. The Clippers will be Bill's ideal next home, especially after the Clippers traded to send Powell away, the introduction of Bill was just enough to fill the vacancy, and the Clippers' lineup is obviously more competitive in championship competition than the Warriors. It is still unknown which players the Warriors can introduce to enrich the lineup, but it is obvious that the old-fashioned Golden State team is seriously insufficient to attract players. Perhaps their winning window is indeed closed, and Curry and his era will gradually wither.
