Warriors news: Curry brothers are expected to join forces, Kumingga confirms renewal, and the countdown to the Lao Huo joining

The Curry brothers are expected to join forces

Yesterday, Seth Curry, the younger brother of free agent and Warriors star Stephen Curry, was interviewed during the break between participating in the US Century Celebrity Championship (Golf Game) and responded to rumors about whether he would join the Warriors team where his elder brother Curry is. Seth said: "Stephen really hopes that I can join the Warriors. I have seen many Warriors games. This is indeed a team that suits me very well, but I am still trying to find the best place and I will make a decision next week."

Today, according to Brett Siegel, Curry Jr. is one of the targets of the Warriors' signings. Warriors fans and Curry family both want to see Curry Jr. join the Bay Area with a basic salary. Curry, 34, has played in the NBA for 12 seasons, and has played 550 regular season games in total, averaging 22.5 minutes per game to score 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1.9 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 43.3%. Last season, Seth Curry made 83 three-pointers with a league-high 45.6% three-point shooting rate during his time with the Hornets, which shows that he still maintains a good competitive state.

From the perspective of tactical play, the Warriors advocate a large number of outside attacks, which coincides with Seth. He can plug and play; from the perspective of personnel composition, the Warriors have their own brother, and Seth will quickly integrate in both inside and outside the court. But the problem is that the Warriors now have four defenders with formal contracts (Curry, Podjemsky, Hilder and Moody), and Seth can only be ranked fifth at most, and playing time is difficult to guarantee; and playing around the superstar brother will inevitably lead to invisible pressure. Overall, unless a team is willing to give Seth a contract with a base salary or sufficient playing time, there is a high possibility that the Curry brothers will join forces with the Warriors.

Kuminga has confirmed a contract renewal

Today, according to US Brett Siegel, the departure of Warriors forward Kuminga, who had been in trouble for two months, has basically come to an end. Kuminga is expected to complete a contract renewal with the Warriors (it is expected to be a two-year short-term contract), but the two sides have also reached a consensus to send Kuminga away before the transaction deadline in February next year. Last season, Kumingga played 47 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game to score 15.3 points, 4.6 assists and 2.2 assists. During this offseason, Kumingga's rookie contract officially expired. He hopes to get a contract with an average annual salary of $3,000,000 from the Warriors, but the Warriors disagreed and only provided him with a qualification offer, which disappointed Kumingga and became very excited to leave the team.

Siegel said that Kumingga and his agent team flew to Las Vegas to meet with some teams during the summer United period, but there was never a suitable opportunity. Teams with salary space were unwilling to sign Kumingga naked, and those who were interested in Kumingga were unwilling to spend too much money to sign him. Now Kumingga accepts the renewal of the Warriors and returns in a short term, which is actually a win-win situation. For Kumingga, he can re-sell value in the first few months of the new season, attracting the attention of other teams in the league; for the Warriors, the Warriors can make full use of Kumingga's full salary (if they sign first and then exchange, they can only use 50% of their salary), especially after he plays his worth, he can get a generous return. Countdown to the franchise of Lao Huo

Not long ago, according to several reporters, free agent Al Horford will make the final choice among the three options of joining the Warriors, joining the Nuggets and retirement. Today, according to famous reporter Marc Stein, they have withdrawn from the battle for Horford as the Nuggets and Walane reach a consensus. At the same time, Stein said Horford was unwilling to retire like this, and he hoped to play for another year and leave the professional arena in a more decent way. All signs indicate that when the Warriors officially announce their contract renewal with Kumingga, they will finalize the signing of Lao Huo. Horford, 39, played 60 regular season games last season for the Celtics, averaging 27.6 minutes per game to contribute 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 blocks.

Although Horford's condition has dropped significantly as he grows older, he has rich game experience and a high football quotient, and can still play enough influence in his limited playing time. For the Warriors, Horford can pick-and-roll and shoot outside on the offensive end, which can enrich the Warriors' offensive tactics; on the defensive end, Horford is above the level of defense, assisting defense or blocking the frame protection. He and Green are in the inside line, which will make the Warriors' penalty area defense very firm.
