The Spurs made a 4-for-1 move, disbanded the splash combination, and Thompson teamed up with the new champion!
And for the Warriors, it has been a bit difficult recently, because they have too many problems to solve, and it is not easy to readjust. During the period when Green was suspended, many people held a mentality of "the Warriors can wait for Green's return", and they thought that Green was the core figure of the team's championship, but with Green's return, people suddenly realized that during the period when Green was suspended, the Warriors' situation was not good. In the face of this situation, the Warriors have been working hard to improve their roster, hoping to exchange the money for their own team.
It has been reported that the Golden State Warriors have reached a deal with the Spurs in exchange for Klay for the Spurs' Doug, Graham, Osman and Charles. And this 4-on-1 exchange has also caused a lot of discussion, because once the Warriors and the Spurs reach an agreement, the Warriors will start a new life, and the future of the Spurs will become brighter.
As we all know, the Warriors' small-ball concept largely comes from the Spurs' style of play, but the emergence of Curry and Klay allows the Warriors to use small-ball tactics to create more opportunities. But with the decline of Clay, the Warriors' small-ball tactics have not been played well, and there have been some problems in their restricted area, which makes it difficult for the Warriors to contain the opponent's offense.
In such a situation, the conversation between the Warriors and Klay has reached an impasse, on the one hand, the negotiation between the Warriors and Klay has ended, but everyone wants to see what Klay can do this season, who knows that Klay has become a "tumor", which makes the senior management very disappointed, and also greatly increases the probability of Klay leaving. The first thing the Warriors need to do if they want to turn things around is Krain, because once Krain is cleared, they can sign a new contract with Kuminga.
The most valuable candidate for the Warriors at present is Wiggins or Kuminga, as long as Klay is willing to give a more suitable **, the Warriors will still buy him, but Klay reluctantly refused, if the Warriors don't replace him, wait until the next year, Klay is likely to become a free player, in that case, the Warriors will have nothing. In this case, with the help of Kuminga, the Warriors will naturally be more inclined to the young players of the Spurs, so the Warriors will choose to exchange with the Spurs.
The biggest reason why the Spurs are interested in Klay is that they know that the Spurs must have an experienced coach, and Popovich's coaching style is also suitable for the high density of players, Klay's situation has started to decline now, but if he can join the Spurs, maybe he can return to the Spurs and achieve better results. The Spurs also need Klay to lead the team, and the experience of a championship can give Klay more respect, even Klay, as long as he plays well, he can get a good tactical arrangement in the Spurs.
All in all, this trade between the Warriors and the Spurs can be described as a win-win, what Golden State has to do now is clear salary space and focus on new contracts such as Kuminga, Clay was left out of the team's roster because of his poor performance last year, but if he does join the Spurs, it will be a good thing for Clay himself!
