Cole speaks! The Warriors don't make trades, Curry and Payton Jr. stay with the team, and Paul doesn't leave
Recently, the Golden State Warriors will be taking some steps before the NBA deadline, which has attracted a lot of attention. The Warriors have struggled this season, and now that their results are not good, their future is in the spotlight.
Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Chris Paul, Gary Payton II, these are all regulars in transfer rumors, but it is unclear exactly what decision the Golden State Warriors will make.
It can be said that it was like a storm was coming, which put all the soldiers in a panic.
Each team will trade differently than the deadlines of previous years, due to the tough taxes in the second phase as well as the new league contracts. The Golden State Warriors have been hit this issue, spending $22 billion in salaries this season, making them the league's most taxed team. This season, if the Warriors want to win the championship, they will have to make a trade-off between funding and the current level of the team.
It can be said that the Warriors are the one who has invested the most and lost the most this season.
While the Warriors are suffering from injuries right now, Chris Paul and Gary Payton remain the mainstays on the Warriors' bench. Considering there isn't much to improve in the transfer market, boss Steve Kerr looks set to be happy with his existing squad.
We're not going to look for people like Chris Paul or Gary Payton anymore. There are very few opportunities to buy and sell to improve the team. I'm happy for both of them, and for Moses Moody. We've been short of people for the last few weeks, but with these three people, they're going to help us. ”
Warriors coach Kerr's words are a huge encouragement for the Warriors' players.
The Warriors' biggest problem this season is that they have too many rotations, and apart from the earlier suspension of Draymond Green, the Warriors have never had a team made up entirely of injured players.
On January 2, Payton missed the game with a tendon injury, and Paul also underwent surgery on January 5 with an arm injury**. In addition, Moses Moody missed the game after January 10 with a leg muscle injury, which has made the Warriors' record this season lackluster.
When it comes to transfer deadlines and Golden State deals, there are few options to give this team a new look. Maybe signing Pascal Siakam would have been a good option, but now he's gone to the Indiana Pacers. The Warriors realized they already had an efficient offensive system, and the most important thing to do right now was to get the team back together so that everyone could get back on the court in the shortest amount of time.
"I don't think a deal is likely," he said. Cole went on to say: "Actually, most of the transfers are made within the deadline. What we can do is to do as much as we can, and that's what we can do at the moment. I think we're going to get better and better.
Kerr was right that the Cavaliers weren't going to be traded, Paul wasn't going to leave the team, and Payton wasn't leaving the team.
In Steve Kerr's view, the Golden State Warriors want to keep their current team, and they think the return of Chris Paul and Gary Payton will have a big impact on the Warriors' strength.
With few contract clauses, Kerr prefers to let the players on the team solve problems through their own abilities and team spirit. He is confident about the future of the club and believes the return of the first-team squad will make the team stronger.
In the current situation, the Golden State Warriors may not just be a simple deal, they also want a full team to get back on their feet. Kerr said he believes in his current team and believes the whole team can get through this difficult time.
The Warriors are now close to qualifying for the Western Conference Finals, and back-to-back wins will quickly change the face of this team. With the transfer deadline looming, Kerr's statement shows that the club is now more focused on team cohesion and the current squad of players.
Even in financial difficulties, the Warriors will still suffer injuries in the second half of the season. Overall, the Golden State Warriors are likely to maintain their current form before the deadline and use their team to make the playoffs.
I'm sure Curry will lead his team back to a championship if the Warriors are in good shape.
