If the Warriors choose to trade Butler and leave Kuminga, don t be too surprised

The Warriors will definitely adjust their lineup during the offseason. First, Curry has spoken and he needs to give some face. Second, Payton, Looney, and Kumingga have all expired. Will they still keep players in the free market?

To be honest, I don't think Butler is a perfect system that fits the Warriors. Many people only see that he can make effective hard solutions when Curry is double-teamed. Indeed, Butler can do this, which is also the point that people think Butler is worth 110 million in 2 years.

But Butler did drag down the Warriors' offense a bit. When was the most powerful thing in the Warriors in recent years? No one should object when Durant is here? At that time, Durant was also a double-teamer of Curry, and Durant also had a hard solution, but unlike Butler, Durant could take action quickly and find a solution. Instead of Butler, now, waiting for Curry to run, he will only rush to the inside to cause damage or cause fouls on the opponent if he really can't run out.

There is a difference here. Durant is very decisive and almost attacks with the ball, while Butler needs to wait. There is a time difference between the two. The Warriors' system requires quick scoring, so Curry's three-point threat is the greatest. Butler's offense will run out of every round. Although it is stable, each offensive round will be longer and only 2 points. The best case is 2+1. If the opponent can score, the round will offset each other.

The Warriors said that as long as Curry is there, their core is three-pointers. Whether it is the previous "elevator door" tactics or Green's cover pick-and-roll, they are all to create three-point opportunities for Curry, but Butler will drag down the Warriors' three-pointers.

Sometimes fans don't understand why Cole wanted Butler to rest for so long because space is needed. Green and Butler are both non-space points and do not conform to the tactics formulated by Cole. Why did both Cole and Green propose the need for centers? It is also because the current lineup of five smalls has lost a lot of meaning. Why is the five smalls awesome? First, because of the speed, second, everyone can shoot three points, third, counterattack, and use more efficient offense to exchange for opponents' offense. But now the Warriors are more unable to make a shot, unable to defend, and unable to run.

In a word, the Warriors' lineup cannot play Curry's biggest three-point advantage, and a fast attack three-pointer is Curry's most terrifying offensive weapon.

Why is it possible for Kumingga to stay? Because of the second team, in the playoffs, in the game where Curry was absent, the offensive core of the first team was Butler, and the offensive core of the second team was Kumingga.

Although Green is big and thick on the surface, he is very clear on the court. After Curry is gone, others are passing the ball randomly, but Green will only give the ball to Kumingga because he knows that if the Warriors want to win, they must rely on Kumingga's physical talent to quickly attack the basket and make the game rhythm mess. Then drag it to the end and let Butler fight the stalemate so that there will be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, when facing the young Timberwolves, they will have no chance of winning.

In fact, you can think about why the Warriors played so well at the start of this season? First, because Melton solved the second ball holding point, second, Hilde performed exceptionally well, and third, Kumingga's second lineup was really good. For a while, instead of Curry as the core, he handed the ball to Kumingga to play. Curry and Hilder squatted their feet to make the team's pace faster. Let Kumingga decide whether to attack or pass by himself. This quick handling of the ball is what the Warriors need, or it is in line with Cole's system, and it is also beneficial to the Warriors' long-term development.

The Warriors don't know what to make a decision during the offseason. First, they should receive a basic salary back to Melton. It is said that they had already agreed to break up last season. The second is to find a center that can defend and move fast. Turner is really a good choice, just depends on whether the Pacers will renew their contract.

What do you think? Does Kumingga need to stay?

As for many people, they hope that the Warriors will get letters, but to be honest, it is very difficult. Just counting the salary next season will be a headache. Curry and Butler are both about 60 million, and the letters are more than 57 million... The three of them are nearly 180 million. What should I do if I have other locations?
