The Warriors pursue Lillard and Horford, and the deterrence of "Cuchase" may become the main reason

Since the opening of the NBA free market, the Warriors are rarely operating teams among several traffic teams, so they are once again teased by fans as "Golden State Interested Team". Whenever free agents are about to move in the market, this team will express a lot of interest, but in the end they are empty-handed to disappoint the fans. Could it be that the management is just acting? Didn't really cherish the last years of Curry's peak career?

In fact, this is not the case, otherwise there would not be the deal Butler would have found a top second-in-command for Curry at a very small price.

After the Warriors won Butler last season, the team's record changed significantly. Although they participated in the playoff chase as a playoff, they reached the Western Conference semi-finals. This also shows that the Warriors, with Curry, Green and Butler as the core, still have the possibility of winning the championship. However, it still needs to be strengthened during the offseason. It is obviously an urgent task to improve the team's finishing ability, but you still have to be cautious.

Many fans may still be anxious and criticized, and accusing the management of inaction; in fact, this is not necessary, after all, professional matters are left to professionals. The Warriors management cannot turn a blind eye to the problems we see, but is just waiting for the opportunity and looking for a better solution.

According to previous reporters' reports, the Warriors are pursuing defender Lillard and inside Horford. Some fans believe that both of them are veterans, and the Warriors are almost U40, so they are not optimistic about these signings.

But the author said that if professionals do professional things, the Warriors want to get Lillard and Horford, they are inseparable from the offensive deterrence of the combination of Curry and Green.

The Warriors only reached the Western Conference semi-finals last season because the team's offensive problems were too big. After creating opportunities, no one could send the ball into the basket. In this way, every signing or transaction during the offseason must be prescribed to the right medicine to make up for the shortcomings of the offensive.

Considering that the Warriors' basic plate is based on Curry as the core, and Green and Butler's ability to dominate the ball, it will drive the scores of the character ball players.

But whether it is Curry, Green or Butler, there will be a break after all, which means that if you can find an excellent substitute for these three, the Warriors' offensive level will be higher.

As we all know, since the arrival of the young ball era, Lillard has the only one in the league who has the ability to hold the ball and shoot at a very long distance comparable to Curry. If the Warriors can get Lillard, they can cover Curry's deterrence throughout the game, which is equivalent to having another weakened version of Curry.

At the same time, if you can get Horford, it also means that the Warriors have a chance to get a version of Green with enhanced shooting, similar dominance, and weakened defensive version.

In this way, the deterrent power of "Kuan pick-and-roll" is enough to cover the entire game, and the Warriors' offensive continuity will become stronger, and there will be no power outage in many cases where no one can score.

The above is the underlying logic of the Warriors management pursuing Lillard and Horford, but the two have not been recruited by them for a long time. In addition to their personal wishes, the crux of the Warriors is that they have not handled Kumingga's contract well.

Although his playing style is incompatible with the Warriors system, it is not as bad as Wiseman. Considering that the team's goal in the new season is to compete for the championship, it is not worth losing Kuminga in vain. It is best to send it to a new team by signing first and then changing, and the Warriors can also get an excellent wing from it to improve the team's outside offense and defense.

At the same time, if Lillard and Horford can really be defeated, the players such as Boger, Moody, and Hilder in the lineup can be sent away in order to exchange for some players with more balanced offense and defense. In this way, the Warriors can truly compete with several popular Western Conference champion teams in terms of configuration.
