The Golden State Warriors have made a significant decision by finally deciding to part ways with their biggest "liability" - Bogutowski. This change could potentially be the turning point for them to turn the tide this season.
Bogutowski's performance on the court has been frustrating to watch, lacking shooting ability and slowing down the offense, which in turn concentrates defensive pressure on other players of the Warriors.
Imagine, with a slower offensive rhythm, everyone has to work harder to create scoring opportunities, which inevitably affects the team's overall operation. It directly leads to teammates finding it increasingly difficult to score, even Curry's three-point shots can't exert their full potential.
Fortunately, the Warriors' management has made a major decision that catches the eye - trading Bogutowski! Isn't this a belated redemption? Especially under the strong push of owner Lacob, they plan to send Bogutowski to the Bulls in exchange for a scoring machine: Zach LaVine.
It seems that Lacob is really determined not to tolerate old problems that affect the team's competitiveness anymore.
Some netizens commented: "This trade is a godsend for the Warriors. Consider that LaVine is a two-time champion of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, with physical qualities that are absolutely not to be underestimated, especially his three-point shooting, which is really powerful!" The view of this netizen is simply a big "approval".
LaVine's joining will undoubtedly make the Warriors' perimeter firepower even stronger. His three-point shooting is accurate, his breakthrough ability is particularly strong, and his scoring ability under high pressure is worlds apart from Bogutowski.
You should know that Zach LaVine's relationship with the Bulls has not been so harmonious for a long time.
He openly refused the team-arranged press conference, making the relationship between the two sides particularly tense.
Look, the Bulls' record this season is not very good either, and LaVine is also fed up and openly expressed his desire for change.
And the Warriors, at this moment, seized the opportunity and went all out to win this player who could bring immediate combat effectiveness, which was really a big surprise to their supporters.
Some netizens commented: "LaVine joining the Warriors is a great deal! His breakthroughs and outside shooting on the court are just like a golden partner with Curry, he can create more open opportunities for Curry. Plus the cooperation between the two, the outside firepower is really explosive!" This netizen has great expectations for LaVine's arrival, and the potential of such a combination with Curry has already made people impatient.
Think about it again, Curry has always been short of a player like LaVine who can score steadily.
As you know, the Warriors have always relied on Curry's miraculous shots to support the offense, especially outside shooting.
And this time, LaVine's joining allows the Warriors to have more choices in key moments than just relying on Curry. LaVine's three-pointers and breakthrough abilities can definitely share some of the pressure and bring more offensive possibilities to the Warriors.
Speaking of Curry, there is another big highlight of this trade - Curry is no longer the only offensive firepower point.
Think about it, LaVine's arrival can relieve a lot of pressure on Curry, especially the cooperation between the two can give Curry more open opportunities.
It's like an offensive feast, where you have both Curry's three-pointers and LaVine's explosiveness, it's simply invincible.
Some netizens wrote: "I think this trade is too important! Look at Curry's current age and condition, the Warriors must not waste his peak period. If this trade is successful, the next few years will be the Warriors' best chance to win the championship!" The mentality of this netizen is very rational and realistic.
Yes, Curry is already in the late stage of his career, and the Warriors' management must not miss this opportunity again.
This trade by the Warriors may be the crucial step for them to finally compete for the championship this season.
Although the season has not yet ended completely, it can at least be said that the Warriors' lineup has been qualitatively improved, especially the enhancement of outside firepower, which is really exciting.
This trade is not only to enhance the offense but more importantly to enhance the overall competitiveness of the Warriors.
Look, what kind of chemical reaction can the combination of LaVine and Curry bring? This question probably won't be revealed until the next season.
