The Warriors Tour of the Western Conference Playoffs, Kuba s combination leads the remnant team to maintain the eighth, the Golden State era ends

This year's lively West, which was full of the offseason, has the shadow of the former champion Golden State Warriors. It was not until recently that the management signed the Celtics' "abandoned player" Horford from the free market. With Tatum's serious injury, the Celtics also began to clean up the lineup, sending Holiday and Porzingis away, and there was no intention to renew the contract for veteran Horford. Therefore, after missing high-quality centers such as Capela and Ayton, the Warriors chose Horford, who has the ability to shoot from the outside.

Last season, Horford experienced a significant decline on both offense and defense, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage also dropped to 36%. However, as the best defensive player of the past, his 3D attributes match the Warriors' tactical needs. Let's wait and see whether this veteran can become a surprise in the new season.

The Warriors helped the team win four championship trophys during their peak period with Curry as the core, but as the three former giants grew older, injuries have also become a factor that has troubled the Warriors' continued foothold and the Western Conference powerhouses. Klay Thompson even left Golden State and switched to Dallas after being seriously injured, which also declared the end of the Warriors era.

Last season, the team got another key goalkeeper, Butler, in the mid-term trading, and helped the Warriors make it difficult to enter the playoffs. They eliminated the young Houston Rockets in the first round in the tiebreak. Unfortunately, injuries in the second round attacked Curry again, and Butler, who played with injuries, was unable to lead the team to create miracles, and was eliminated in the second round.

The Warriors' lineup is now very aging. Although Curry, Butler and Green can maintain long-term health, they are still a force that cannot be ignored with the championship background. However, it may be very difficult to rely on several veterans to compete for the championship under the current situation of many powerful Western Conference. If management can't continue trading to get All-Star players in the middle of the season, Curry and Butler may only be able to help the team compete for a final playoff spot.
