The Warriors, the team that once dominated the NBA, are now facing unprecedented hardship. This season, their form has been up and down, leaving fans sweating. As things stand, the prospect of the Warriors making the playoffs is uncertain, and if the team can't find a solution to the dilemma, it will continue.
In a recent interview, Warriors star Klay Thompson expressed his displeasure with the late abandonment. He said that as the main player of the team, it is rare to be placed on the cold bench at critical moments, which is an uncommon phenomenon. Thompson stressed that he has helped the team out of difficult situations many times, but now he is being treated like this. For Thompson, this is undoubtedly a disgrace. However, the reality is harsh, Thompson's dip in form is an indisputable fact, and Kerr's trust in him seems to have evaporated.
According to Anthony Slater, a reporter for the Warriors, the current situation of the Warriors has reached a point where it cannot be changed through adjustments. Trading became the only way to solve the problem. Warriors management is big on trades, and they're looking for a forward who can help the team. After losing Siakam's scramble, they didn't give up on finding their target. After this period of sluggishness, Warriors management can't wait, and they want to bring about a substantial change to the team through a trade.
If the Warriors remain the status quo, then it's basically over. Trading became their only way out. The Warriors announced a trade again after losing Siakam's scramble, which is enough to show how serious they are about trades. After the ups and downs of the season, they should be able to clearly understand what is wrong with the team. Only through targeted trade reinforcements can the team's problems be solved.
In addition, Paul's slump in form and injury issues have made the Warriors more challenging. While Paul's ability to string up the team remains, his performance doesn't match his salary at all. If Paul still wants to stay with the Warriors, he could face a buyout. In this way, the warriors will have more room to operate.
