The fantasy of the Warrior Dynasty, the dream is still broken

Although this Warriors still have the configuration to win the championship, they have reached a crossroads. The only two of the five deaths in the past are Curry and Green. It can be seen that these two are the most indispensable people in the rise of the Warrior Dynasty, although others are also very important. In terms of age, Curry is 37 years old, Green is 35 years old, and Butler is 36 years old. They are all entering the end of their careers. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to win another championship.

Although Dallas once created miracles in 2011, such examples are rare in NBA history, and individual examples cannot be used as common.

This means that Curry will enter a new stage afterwards, and the management has to find a successor, just like the post-James Lakers era, who gets the young Doncic through trades. Whether from the perspective of the Warriors themselves or the interests of the league, this league's first-priced team needs an excellent successor. The internal training strategy has been declared a failure. Only Poole can play rookies such as Wiseman, Poole, Moody, and Kumingga. It's a pity that those high-ranking draft picks are.

guess the management's intentions. Judging from the contracts for Curry, Green and Butler, all three of them expire in the summer of 2027. At that time, there are many "big fish" in the free market, and the Warriors can fully achieve naked signings. However, at that time, the alliance will enter a new era, and Zhandukuhaka will leave one after another. This is the inevitable law of the development of everything.

The Warriors are actually not lacking in talent, but the training system has not been established. The passing and cutting style is not suitable for all players, and Coach Kohl is not Popovich.

After winning the championship in 2022, I thought that the Warriors' future core would be the four young men, Poole, Moody, Kumingga and Wiseman, and each position looked so suitable. Poole plays Curry's role, Moody is the top 3D, and Kumingga is the attacker, Wiseman guards the penalty area, and makes minor repairs in the fourth position. The Warriors' future seems to be bright.

But after all, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Green's punch made Poole completely ruined. Moody's good-looking personality cannot support Clay's positioning, and Kumingga and Wiseman's strengths are not matched with ambitions. On the contrary, the latecomer Boger won the trust of Cole with his panacea. Post's strong spirit was also a surprise, but the two have not shown the potential of successors so far. Who is the leader of the Warriors in the next decade? We don't know yet.

As for Kumingga, physical talent does feel like a Warrior successor, no wonder Xu Jingyu praised him as "Big". But it is still an old problem. The individual's ambition to not catch up with the rushing ambition is more about courage than both wisdom and courage.

Previously, the Warriors management updated his offer to him, offering $45 million for two years, and the team option the next year, but was rejected by Kumingga. Ron Kroichick, a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle, reported that Kumingga believes that he and Cunningham and Barnes are in the same level and should receive a five-year and $220 million contract; the former has 269 million in five years, while the latter has 224 million in five years, but their data are better than Kumingga and are also the absolute core of their respective teams.

Kuminga rejected the Warriors' offer mainly because the team regarded it as a pawn. He wanted to get a contract that promised to be the cornerstone of the team, with a longer term and a player option.

's four seasons of debut, he averaged 12.5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, shooting percentage of 50.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 33.2%. Judging from last season, Kumingga's performance was still not stable enough, especially his three-point shooting was still a shortcoming; in addition, he was still as always outside the pass and cut system, and could not make the team's offense and defense better, and more often it was a one-man fight alone.

From this point of view, Kumingga is still unable to become Curry's successor for the time being, and Cole has given him a chance; it is not his, and he can't handle it after all.

The only remaining expectation is that another team will play completely around him. The full space lineup and the number one position that can pass the ball may save his career.
