The Warriors have recently won two in a row, while Klay Thompson's form is picking up. Although Klay's defensive movement has slowed somewhat, he still excels with his experience. Around him, the team is in great need of a player like Andrew Walker or Gary Payton who has a great basketball IQ and a positive defensive attitude. In addition, the Warriors also need a starting center, and Trest Thompson is suitable to be a backup to play alongside Chilton Johnson.
Positions 4 and 5. In such a lineup concept, Klay Thompson will return to the No. 3 spot, Curry will play the No. 1 spot, and Bobo Thompson and Gary Payton will play the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
Although Gary Payton and Bobo Thompson are 193cm and 195cm tall respectively, they are not short. However, even so, the Warriors still need to find a starting center through a trade. Currently, they are targeting players from several teams, including the likes of Marc Gasol, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Kyle O'Quinn. According to a report from Salt Lake Tribune's Andy Larson, the Jazz are considering trading players such as Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, Horton-Tucker and Kelly Olynyk in search of a playmaker or player with more defensive range. Currently, the Jazz have an 8-16 record and are in 12th place in the West.
According to previous reports, the Jazz are unhappy with Kelly Olynyk's performance on both ends of the floor and have listed him as a trade target. It is reported that the Warriors management plans to complete a 1-for-1 deal with the Jazz and send a first-round pick in exchange for Kelly Olynyk of the Jazz. Such a trade is significant for the Warriors, as Olynyk is an excellent defensive player, and his addition will effectively improve the Warriors' defensive capabilities and provide a stronger guarantee for the team to compete for a championship. First of all, Olynyk's defensive ability is in line with the needs of the Warriors.
The Warriors' defense has been one of the keys to their victory, and as a great defensive player, Olynyk has excellent defensive skills and keen awareness. His addition will breathe new life into the Warriors and improve the team's overall defensive level. Especially in the playoffs, defense is crucial, and Olynyk's presence will make the Warriors more confident and stable on the defensive end. Second, the deal also has a positive impact on the future of the Warriors. While it's a shame to lose a first-round pick, it's worth it to get a player like Olynyk. Olynyk has a wealth of game experience and excellent skills, and his arrival will provide more guidance and assistance to the Warriors' young players.
At the same time, Olynyk will also bring more options and possibilities to the future of the Warriors, and he can be an important rotation player for the team, providing more experience and guidance to the younger players. In addition, this deal is also the best option for Olynyk himself. With the Jazz, he's been outstanding, but the team's results aren't great. Joining the Warriors, he will play with better players and contribute more to the team's victory. At the same time, the Warriors' style of play is more suited to Olynyk, who is able to play to his strengths and show his value in the game.
In summary, the Warriors' deal with the Jazz will not only improve the team's defensive strength, but also have a positive impact on the team's future development. At the same time, it is also an excellent choice for Olynyk personally. It is believed that with the addition of Olynyk, the Warriors will have a better performance in the future games and provide a more adequate guarantee for winning the championship.
