After four consecutive losses, the Warriors went home to fish! If there is any regret, it is that James, Durant and Curry have not touched the floor of the division final for two consecutive years. They originally thought that the Warriors could last until Curry returns healthy, but there is no way. The gap in strength is too huge. Although it is difficult to accept, this is also a very realistic problem. The Warriors without Ku are indeed just a second-rate team. The end of the dynasty has come to an end. How can the Warriors adjust next season?

First of all, we must admit an indisputable fact. Even if Curry can return healthy, can the Warriors really fight the Timberwolves? The author's answer is no. I believe someone will question me, but in terms of lineup configuration or rationality, the Timberwolves are the more advantageous side. It is no exaggeration to say that the Timberwolves can reach the Western Conference Finals.

Let's talk about what is the core of the Warriors' loss? In G5's game, the Warriors launched a counterattack in the last quarter and successfully narrowed the gap to 11 points. To be honest, this gap is not big, and there is a chance to catch up, but don't forget that the Warriors missed 7 three-pointers in the last quarter. I vaguely remember that in G3, the Warriors only made three three-pointers in the half-time game. I always thought that the Warriors were the kind of three-point team, but it was not. After Curry got out, everyone's shooting ability was sealed, and they could only hope for Butler and Kumingga's singles ability.

Facts have proved that when the Warriors introduced Butler, they have proved their success this season, successfully entering the playoffs from the tenth in the Western Conference and completing their first kill against the Rockets. The author does not deny that if Curry was healthy, the Timberwolves would not have won the game so easily, but this failure is not without gains. At least they have seen the direction of team building in the next two years.

The Warriors adhered to the principle that they both want and want. They not only want to win in the present but also want to grasp the future. Butler's joining completely changed this situation. Curry and Butler used their performance to prove that they still have the possibility of winning the championship. The most important problem that needs to be solved at the moment is to improve the team's space point. On the surface, when Curry was injured, only Hilde had stable three-point shooting ability. After the Timberwolves restricted Hilde, the Warriors' offense became constipated.

So, next season is a critical period for the Warriors. Knowing that they lost, Kerr decisively chose to let Kuming add the game to brush data. The reason is very simple. During the offseason, Kumingga's trading value was maximized in exchange for the team's truly scarce 3D players. Curry, Butler and Green's contracts expire in the summer of 2027. Although the first year failed, there are still two years left. The team's team building ideas will not change. Perhaps this time the management will definitely be more decisive and use Kumingga to exchange for better resources to achieve overall system upgrade.

It was this round of four consecutive losses that made the Warriors completely alert that the team's projection space needed to be optimized. Curry's existence raised everyone's attributes. After the tide dissipated, we found that everyone was swimming naked, and change was imminent. The right to use Curry and Butler was only two years left. Let's wait and see what kind of help the management can find for Curry next season.

Where do you think the Warriors will strengthen in the future, and where will Kumingga go? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
