NBA regular season, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 116-115. The Warriors dominated the first quarter, but later had problems with their offense and defense, allowing the Timberwolves to continuously catch up in points. Fortunately, they managed to stabilize their lead in the final quarter and ultimately won the game. Two players had outstanding performances throughout the game. Curry was truly helpless in this match, as he faced double teams every time he had the ball. However, when given the opportunity, Curry was able to seize it. He scored 31 points with 8 assists on 10 of 21 shooting, and at the crucial moment, he made a vital three-pointer. In the fourth quarter, he also managed to activate his teammates, giving it his all. Hield also had a big breakout today. Previously, he had been performing poorly, but in this game, he was precise and strong defensively, scoring 18 points with 3 steals and 2 blocks, which was an overachievement for him. Wiggins, Schroder, Santos, TJD, Moody, Payton, and Looney all had passable performances, each contributing their own value. Wiggins was able to score consecutively during the fourth quarter when Curry was off the court, helping the team stabilize the situation. However, in the last few minutes, Wiggins missed some shots, but he managed to grab a key offensive rebound to assist in the victory. Schroder maintained control of the ball on the court, but in the third quarter, he was targeted and called for three consecutive fouls. Despite this, he scored 12 points on 5 of 11 shooting, which…

In the NBA, a stage filled with competition and commercial atmosphere, any change in a team attracts widespread attention. Especially for teams like the Warriors, who have experienced glorious moments, their every turn is particularly eye-catching. The Warriors, one of the most successful teams of the 21st century, have been aiming for championships since 2015, reaching their peak in 2017 and 2018. Curry, with his consecutive championship performances, has already ranked among the top 15 in NBA history, and there are voices suggesting that he has even reached the top 10. However, despite the glory that the Warriors' illustrious history has brought them, they have faced a series of problems in recent years, to the point where even making the playoffs is no longer guaranteed. After winning the championship in 2022, the Warriors' lineup remained relatively stable. However, they made a decision that could change the future - letting go of many key role players. Although these role players do not always receive the limelight within the team, their departure left the Warriors with significantly less depth. Last season, the Warriors failed to successfully advance to the playoffs, raising doubts about the team's future from the outside. Curry's state is no longer as sharp as his peak period, and the Warriors' lineup appears weaker. Many fans began to question the Warriors' hopes of winning another championship. However, just when the Warriors' prospects seemed less bright, American media provided an eye-catching trade proposal: The Warriors would send Wiggins, Bogut, and a first-round draft pick to the Heat in exchange for Jimmy…

In the ever-changing NBA arena, plans often fail to keep up with changes. Following an unexpected loss by the Warriors to the Raptors, the situation has suddenly shifted dramatically. Curry's official statement, akin to a blockbuster bomb, announces that the Warriors are beginning to adjust their strategy, with the initial signs of tanking, aiming directly for the top ten draft picks in 2025, particularly focusing on selecting quality guards during a year rich in promising talent. This change also renders the previous plan to trade Markkanen from the Jazz meaningless, as there is only one day left until the trade deadline on February 6, 2025, making the time frame tight and the operational difficulty significant. Looking ahead to the summer, a series of bold operational plans by the Warriors have come to light, aimed at reshaping the team's lineup and enhancing competitiveness. The Warriors' current lineup has notable height deficiencies. Starting point guard Schroder stands at only 1.85 meters tall, while Kuminga, despite his immense potential, can only serve as a substitute. In addition to injury impacts, Kuminga is expected to participate in around 45-55 games this season, limited playing time that hampers his ability to produce impressive statistics, thus restricting his market value. However, this may present an opportunity for the Warriors, who are expected to successfully renew Kuminga's contract for 4 years at 100-120 million, preserving a spark of potential for the team. In terms of the draft, the Warriors have made it clear that they will select a guard in the first round. This newcomer will initially…

The NBA regular season is nearing its halfway point, with the Western Conference showing a trend of polarization. The Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Pelicans have already decided to rebuild and are not interested in competing. The Thunder seems firmly entrenched at the top of the West with an almost 85% win rate, making it difficult for other competitors to catch up. Among the larger group, the Rockets were actually the first to break through, with a record of 26 wins and 12 losses, approaching a 70% win rate. If they continue at this pace, the Rockets are expected to secure one of the top three spots in the West. However, from the Grizzlies to the Warriors, these ten teams are bunched together, each with their own challenges. The Nuggets rely on Jokic and Westbrook; Leonard has returned but hasn't found his form, performing worse than the previous Clippers lineup; the Lakers lack defense and offense, with LeBron and Davis both feeling disheartened. The Suns and Kings are attracting attention with their rebounding momentum. After acquiring Beal, the Suns have come alive, while the Kings have quietly won seven straight games, keeping pace with the main group. It's like the current stock market, where there can't be continuous declines; there will always be opportunities for recovery, attracting more retail investors. However, a rebound doesn't necessarily mean a reversal, as a big drop could occur at any moment, burying more people. Among this group, the most pitiable team is undoubtedly the Warriors. With a record of 19 wins and 20 losses so…

On January 14th, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors suffered another loss, leaving many puzzled as to why the final shot was not given to Stephen Curry. Hield, who had a poor shooting night going 3 for 13, continued to force shots, leaving many wondering where his confidence came from. The Golden State Warriors lost by 3 points on the road to the Raptors, leaving Curry frustrated as he crouched dejectedly at the sidelines after the game. He desperately wanted to win, but unfortunately, it was clear that he couldn't do it alone. Statistically, Curry had an impressive game with 17 shots made out of 26 attempts, scoring 26 points with 7 rebounds and 7 assists. However, the weakest link in the starting lineup was Hield, who only managed to make 2 out of 10 three-point attempts. Shockingly, in the most crucial moment of the game, the Warriors chose to give the ball to Hield instead of Curry. The final buzzer-beater attempt left everyone scratching their heads as to why they didn't pass the ball to Curry. Was Coach Kerr's strategy confusing? The Warriors were leading by a significant margin, but in the closing moments, Kerr opted for a lineup with one big man and four small forwards, allowing the Raptors to close the gap rapidly. Even after being overtaken by 3 points, the Warriors still had a chance. With 3.8 seconds left, they trailed 101:104, which was an opportunity to tie the game, or even potentially win with a 3+1 play. However, the Warriors' strategy was bizarre, with everyone…

The situation for the Warriors this season has been truly terrible, like a roller coaster. They started at the top of the Western Conference but have since plummeted to tenth place. The team also acquired German player Dennis Schroder through a trade, who was originally highly anticipated. However, it now appears that he is not living up to expectations, averaging only 7 points per game with a three-point shooting percentage of just 26%. He is not performing at the level expected of him, and he has even questioned Steve Kerr's tactics. Schroder stated that he has always excelled at dribbling and setting screens, and he very much wants to play pick-and-roll with tall players, which can maximize his threat. However, the current situation is completely different. He is required to run without the ball, and in short, he is unable to do what he used to do. It is clear that Schroder believes Steve Kerr did not use him correctly, leading to a decline in his personal form. Many experts and fans now argue that the reason Steve Kerr has been successful and hailed as the NBA's best coach is mainly because he benefited from Stephen Curry's peak period. In fact, this coach has no coaching ability at all. His coaching ability during games could even be considered mid-to-lower level. In every game, whoever plays well and has good手感, he substitutes them out. Moreover, he always likes to obsess over small lineups, causing the team to frequently be overwhelmed by opponents, with rebounding being abysmal in every game. Even Kevin…

The NBA league is always full of unexpected events, as it is a commercial stage where all team owners aim to make money, and players come here as workers. Therefore, we should not be surprised by anything that happens. The Golden State Warriors are undoubtedly one of the most successful teams in the 21st century, having won four championship trophies after the year 2010. Stephen Curry has also risen to become one of the top 15 players in history, and some fans and media even believe he has become the gatekeeper of the top 10 in history. However, the Warriors have recently been experiencing difficulties, suffering from the aftermath of winning championships, and they may even fail to enter the playoffs. After winning the championship in 2022, the Warriors retained their starting lineup, but they let go of many role players who were indispensable. Once these players left, it was difficult to replace them. Last season, the Warriors did not make it to the playoffs, which put them under intense scrutiny. Many fans believed that Curry's NBA career would not yield a fifth championship, and this season has seen a cliff-like decline for Curry, losing his peak sharpness. At this critical moment, American media proposed a trade plan for the Warriors: sending Andrew Wiggins, Bjelica, and a first-round pick to acquire Jimmy Butler. This trade plan is quite feasible, as the Heat need young talent, while the Warriors need immediate combat power, making it a win-win situation. Butler averages 17.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game,…

The Golden State Warriors currently have a record of 19 wins and 18 losses, ranking 9th in the Western Conference. This ranking is not ideal for them, as they started the season with a remarkable 12 wins and 3 losses, even ranking second in the West at one point. However, they have now fallen to the position of the play-in tournament, which is quite frustrating for the Warriors. The main reason for this is that the team lacks players who can consistently score and assist Stephen Curry, failing to provide more support for the team. In the highly competitive Western Conference, if the Golden State Warriors want to succeed, they must obtain some excellent star players through trades. Based on this, American media "Fadeaway World" suggests that the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets reach a five-for-two trade to enhance the team's competitiveness. Cameron Johnson and Dairon Sharpe were acquired by the Golden State Warriors. The Brooklyn Nets successfully acquired the following personnel and draft picks: Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, Kevin Looney, and Jisantos. Additionally, the team also has a top-3 protected first-round draft pick from the Golden State Warriors (GSW) in 2027. The Golden State Warriors obtained a forward player through a trade, who is at the peak of his career. His arrival will assist Stephen Curry in the game and help the team achieve better results in subsequent events. The Golden State Warriors should really plan carefully now, as Stephen Curry is at the end of his peak career. Now is the time to find outstanding…
