On February 18, Beijing time, the Warriors dynasty is also the only team that has achieved four championships in eight years in recent years, there is no doubt that all dynasty teams cannot survive more anciently, after all, as the core players get older and older, the team's competitiveness will naturally decline, not to mention, the dynasty team will go through the process of replacing the old and the new, the original results of Poole told the fans that there was a problem with the handover of the old and new Warriors, the status of the dynasty meritorious players is too high, and the management is unwilling to shake their status. However, it is undeniable that Lacob's salary is the highest among team owners in the entire league, but the team's ranking can only be stable in the top ten in the West, and it is a big problem to enter the playoffs. rejected 48 million, left the Warriors, couldn't recognize the reality, and eventually parted ways with Curry.
The reason why the Warriors are not competitive enough this season, and the team's ranking and record cannot be improved, is because the team has not been able to find the perfect player lineup, and Kerr is constantly trying to make a lineup of players, but the results are not very good, if you consider that Kuminga took the initiative to leave the team in the offseason, just to get stable playing time, it means that there has been a serious disagreement between veteran players and young players, fortunately, Kuminga has the support of management, This season has gradually proved its worth, and the status of the team is getting higher and higher, even so, other young players still can't replace the position of veterans. If Curry and Green's personal state can still be maintained well, and Wiggins is gradually finding his form, then among the starting five tigers, there is only one drag, that is, Klay.
Coincidentally, it was time for Klay to renew his contract ahead of schedule, but the contract renewal cooperation with the team has been over, mainly because Klay does not recognize his salary and renewal years. However, the starting point of the Warriors management is to hope that Ku Chaitang can end the contract at the same time, after all, Curry has emphasized more than once that he hopes that Ku Chaitang can retire together, and Curry's status in the Warriors is unparalleled, if you take into account Klay's recent poor form, it is normal for the Warriors to be unwilling to give a contract extension with a maximum salary. What's more, Lacob also expressed his unwillingness to continue to pay such a high salary payment not long ago. It can be said that no matter how you analyze it, the Warriors' salary expenditure will drop significantly next season, and Wiggins chose to take a salary cut to stay with the team when he renewed his contract before.
Not to mention Green, after testing the waters in the free market, he also accepted a four-year salary extension of 100 million, and it is natural for Curry to get the maximum salary extension, and Kuminga is still a rookie player, and it is time to renew the contract after this season, and through this season's performance, when the contract is renewed, at least you can get a higher salary. This means that if the Warriors want to save expenses, they can only look through Klay and Paul, and after Paul plays this season, the remaining salary, the guaranteed salary is not much, and Klay wants to get a super contract, which is naturally unrealistic. More importantly, the young player Podzemski has also slowly cashed in on his talent, and with Podemski becoming a starter, the competitiveness of the Warriors' starting five has been greatly improved, and recent wins are the best answer.
And in the last five games, Clay has only been able to score 192 points, 4 rebounds, 1With an average of 4 assists per game, he only shot 46 from the field8% and 39% may not seem like much of a problem, but it is undeniable that Klay is averaging 15 shots per game4 times, which means that Clay's data is obtained through a large number of shots. And Podemski, who replaced Klay's starting position, has scored 134 points 64 rebounds 6He averaged 4 assists per game and shot 46 from the fieldAt 3% and 60%, the average number of shots per game is only 108 times, if you analyze the efficiency of the two sides, it is enough to prove how big the gap is, and it can be said that it is a matter of course that Podemski will replace Klay's starting position.
In fact, the Warriors have always respected Klay very much, since Klay entered the Warriors, he directly had a conflict with the team's boss Ellis, and even emphasized when counterattacking Ellis, the Warriors chose to let me into the team just to help the team win, just to let me shoot. The following season, he became the team's starter. With the establishment of the Warriors dynasty, Klay also had a major injury, and the Warriors management waved his hand and paid 1The 900 million salary contract, you know, this is based on Klay's major injury, and after his return, what performance he can play, the decision made by the Warriors management is enough to prove how optimistic the Warriors are about Klay. But Clay, who has been very confident from start to finish, takes it for granted.
It is undeniable that the former Splash Brothers, in the eyes of Golden State fans, are the absolute core that the Warriors dynasty can establish, but now, few fans mention the Splash Brothers, after all, the two of them are no longer players of the same level, but unfortunately Klay still can't recognize the reality, and without hesitation rejected the 48 million salary contract offered by the Warriors to renew the two-year salary contract, and also lost the last chance. And Klay, who worked hard to renew his contract in the new season, not only lost his starting position, but also lost the last hope of the fans. Based on this premise, Klay still hasn't adjusted his mentality, and he is still a loner on the court, which means that Klay may not be able to stay with the Warriors after this season. Even Curry may not be able to help Klay fight, after all, when Klay renewed his contract, Curry did not express his position, so it can be said that Klay is becoming more and more embarrassed now.
