For Warriors fans, the most heartbreaking thing is undoubtedly that Clay is reimbursed again. This year of his career, Clay was injured one after another, which was a fatal blow to fans and even his career. After coming back from injury, it is easy to say that his shooting ability can be restored. How much can his defensive ability be restored? Can the athletic ability reach the standard? Will running without the ball be flexible? This is undoubtedly a huge shadow.
However, in addition to Clay himself, it is also a huge blow to the Warriors. Without the right hand man, the absolute core of the team is only the right hand man. You can't deny that Curry is still one of the best core point guards in the league, but when he leads the team alone, he will naturally face the absolute opposition of other teams, and his shooting percentage will be greatly reduced, and his chances of hitting the championship will be greatly reduced.
Look at the Warriors' lineup next season. Many fans will say it's not that bad. Curry, Dreamcatcher, Ubray, Wiggins and Wiseman all have certain strengths, but they all want to be independent. Except Curry, he is almost interested in Dreamcatcher Green, an all-star player trained by the Warriors themselves, but he relies heavily on the system created by head coach Cole. I believe that in addition to cooperating with the Huashui brothers, the ability of Dreamcatcher will be greatly reduced. Overall, the effect of leading the team alone for most of last season is a good proof. Ubray, a young 3D player, is different from Ingram and Mitchell. Ubray lacks some star flavor. You must admit that he has grown rapidly, and many Lakers fans are eager to trade Kuzma for him. The warrior's love for him is enough to prove his ability. Wiggins' healthy basketball is probably impossible without Clay, except Curry. He is the most threatening player in the Warriors' dribbling attack, and he is bound to stand up and take on more responsibilities. If he still focuses on healthy basketball, it may be put on the shelves in the middle of the season, and there is a big man with excellent height and arm span, which supports the sky for the warriors, but he is neither James nor Zion. No one will think that he will be the key to the success or failure of the warriors, because there are still many ways to go.
Apart from the strength of the Warriors themselves, next season's West will be the overlord. There is no doubt that the Nuggets have left Grant, but the core mentor Murray is still there. The healthy little Potter is also brilliant. Although the rocket made a lot of noise and little rain, it temporarily calmed Harden's mood. As long as Gordon enters the playoffs, this is not a problem. Mitchell, who just signed a big contract, and the showdown with Murray in the playoffs have also strengthened Utah's belief in him as the core. A pioneer with a dull voice who made a fortune has a more balanced attack and defense. Dansis, the first person in the future alliance, is a lone ranger, and can't be underestimated. The pelicans of Zion and Ying Ge are also eyeing up. You can't ignore that Booker, who won eight consecutive victories in the rematch, got his life coach Paul, and he must also want to test the water for the playoffs. Next season's West will be particularly beautiful, and Curry and Warriors will cheer.
