Are the Warriors a failure this season?

Welcome back to the Shisan Arena.

The Warriors this season are no exaggeration to say that they are ups and downs.

Starting the top three in the West at the beginning of the season, Hilder's performance almost made people forget Clay.

But then the team fell all the way and fell out of the play-offs. Hilder's magic gradually disappeared, and Schroeder, who had been tricked, was completely unfit.

Curry was lost several times since the end of November to December, and even gave a bad performance of 2 points in a single game.

and Kumingga finally played several good goals in a row at the end of December, but soon absent due to injury...

At that time, the Warriors had almost been sentenced to death in advance this season.

But Butler's arrival made the team catch up again, from 11th in the West to 5th in the West.

I thought I could successfully get into the playoffs, but I lost to the Spurs at home and fell out of the top 6.

Then defeated the Grizzlies in the playoffs and challenged the Rockets in the first round. G1 easily won and thought it was stable, but G2 lost Butler;

series played hard for seven games, and G1 with the Timberwolves was originally in a good situation, but Curry fell...

finally stopped in the second round, leaving a regretful ending for the season.

The reason why I say regret is not that I think they have the strength to compete for the championship, but that Curry failed to complete the series with the Timberwolves after all, leaving too many ifs for debate.

But if you think back to the beginning of the season, who can say that the Warriors this season failed?

They lost Clay and did not continue to cooperate with Paul, but only introduced Hilder - looking at it, it was a bit difficult to even make the playoffs.

Even Butler's deal was not favored before he officially came on the court - Butler was too old and always had locker room problems.

But the effect of Curry and Butler's new partners is obviously beyond the expectations of most people.

Being able to return to the playoffs is already a success for them this season; being able to make it to the second round is definitely a surprise.

It would be a bit rude to want more - besides Curry, Butler, and Dream Chasing, is there any other player in the Warriors who can definitely start in the playoffs?

So, it is a pity to be eliminated unfortunately; but this season's Warriors have already exceeded the KPI.

But next season, what should I do?

Butler's two-year 110 million contract is about to take effect. His total salary with Curry and Zhu Meng will exceed 130 million;

Hild, Moody's, TJD, and Pojemsky will add up to more than 30 million per year;

The team has the money to sign other stars?

and even Kumingga are likely to be unable to keep it - trying to sign first and then exchange may be the most valuable choice for them.

So, Curry, Butler, Zhu Meng, who are one year older, will definitely go further than this year with Hild, Podjemsky and others?

No matter how optimistic the Warriors fans are, they may find it difficult.

After all, the West is really hard to get along; at least among the teams that missed the playoffs this year, the Mavericks and the Spurs will be able to come back at any time next season.

Of course, if the Warriors are willing to pay more taxes and have the ability to organize the game to mobilize other teams to play a big deal - such as forcing letters to force them to get them, then everything will be different.

The Warriors' problem, or the problem of most teams, isn't it the aging or lack of quality of the ace?

Then the letters are of course the perfect answer.

But this difficulty is really a bit more difficult; the competition is really fierce.

The Rockets can take out high-quality quotations for Shin Kyung + Jabarry Smith + Whitmore + multiple first-round picks, but if they are not enough, they can add them;

The Spurs can also give Kelden Johnson + Sohan + Barnes + multiple first-round picks, and even this year's second-round picks can be given.

And what does the Warrior have? Kumingga + Moody + TJD?
