First of all, I admit that the Warriors' championship in 2022 is very exciting, including the growth of Poole, the transformation of Wiggins, the signing of Bepepo's three benches, and the most critical maturity of Curry's ball-handling system, etc., none of which can achieve this championship.
However, in the 2022 championship, especially Poole's growth, it gave the management an illusion that the team could cultivate newcomers to compete for the championship at the same time, so the management's draft taste and the coaching staff's hiring requirements are completely different.
There's a good reason that Kerrpie didn't like Myers' rookies, and that's well documented, as evidenced by the fact that he didn't have to kill the Bitters and Moody last season, preferring to practice the two-way approach he likes: Jerome and Lamb, on the grounds that they are "more experienced." After the season, one of these two got a formal contract, and the other left Australia, and the Warriors practiced for a long time and practiced loneliness.
The players are naturally divided into two factions, namely the old faction led by Kuchai Tang and the newcomer faction led by Poole Wiggins. At first, this faction was naturally formed, such as the age gap, such as Kutang being injured and not being with the team, such as chasing dreams ** and not taking newcomers out to play, etc., and Wiggins and Poole are the oldest and are an agent, so they naturally got together. Poole was beaten last year, which is estimated to be a personal act of chasing dreams, but it does put the contradiction between the newcomer faction and the old faction, the Cole faction and the Myers faction on the table, in the face of this contradiction, Wiggins chose to be a peacemaker on both sides, cut his salary for 4 years and 100 million to stay in the team, and gave the extra money to his brother Poole, and the two factions temporarily suspended the war and worked together to defend the title.
Unfortunately, the Warriors failed to defend their title and were far from a championship, and one key variable here is that Poole's shortcomings have been thoroughly studied, which has taken him from the championship team's No. 2 ball-handler to a comedian, which has brought the conflict between the two factions to the surface again. Under this contradiction, especially in the context of Curry's still heroic playoff game, the Myers faction and the rookie faction lost ground, and the Kerr faction and the old faction took power. As a result, Myers left directly, and the Kerrs faction was able to select the immediate combat force Potemsky and Jackson Davis who matched their tastes, renewed the contract to chase the dream, and sent away the core of the newcomer faction, Poole, which shows that the Braves have made a major compromise between winning the championship and developing new talents, and now they will pay more attention to results.
However, in this process of compromise, there was a major miscalculation between the Coleites and the Old Men, which was that they completely ignored Wiggins's position and did not take his emotions into account. Let's turn the clock back to last year's contract extension, when the two sides were tense, it was Wiggins who made major concessions in the contract extension to blow away the smoke of the war. An average of 18 points per game in the Finals, who can defend Tatum one-on-one when playing the league's top wing, what is he staying on the team for 25 million?Isn't it just to have fun?For the sake of this happiness, let him be a peacemaker, and he is willing to reduce his salary, which is a rare excellent quality even among the second generation of stars. But when the conflict erupts again and Poole is swept away, he feels that his sacrifice has become meaningless, his kindness has been exploited, and in the end it is all just business.
Now you're asking me, why is Wiggins so sluggish?That's my answer, and that's the best proof of that from the preseason to the present, Wiggins, who doesn't play even though he doesn't play, is still negative on the court. I really enjoyed watching Wiggins' fights before, but I don't have an answer on how to cheer him up. #nba#
