If Antetokounmpo airborne Golden State, can Curry join hands with him to add another championship to the Warriors? The locker room may be out of control
When the Warriors were swept by the Timberwolves 1-4, the Golden State management has quietly brewed a shocking deal that could shake the league. According to multiple sources, the Warriors are chasing the Bucks' star "Greek Monster" Antetokounmpo.
If the deal comes true, Curry and Antetokounmpo's "super giant duo" may directly subvert the NBA landscape, but behind this big bet, the price the Warriors need to pay may be far beyond imagination.
From a tactical perspective, Antetokounmpo's joining can be called the "ultimate reinforcement" of the Warriors. Currently, the Warriors' high points in the interior are only 2.06 meters Rooney and TJD, while Antetokounmpo's height of 2.13 meters combined with his career average of 1.3 blocks, can instantly fill the deadly shortcomings of the Warriors' penalty area defense.
What's even more terrifying is his fit with the Warriors' running and bombing system - Antetokounmpo's fast break average of 1.28 points per game must be assigned Curry's historically unball restraint, which is enough to make the opponent's defense collapse under the double impact of "Ku's gravity + Greek monster".
US media simulation data shows that this pair of people can join forces to shoot out more than 60 points in each game, completely activate the Warriors' long-silent internal and external connections.
But behind the perfect fit, there are hidden dangers that are enough to tear the team apart.
Antetokounmpo's three-point shooting percentage of only 28.7% in his career may seriously block the Warriors' signature "Death Five Small" space system. However, Cole's coaching staff had a plan: Antetokounmpo is planned to play the core of the ball, Green's full-time defensive commander, and Pojemsky uses his passing vision average of 5.8 assists per game in the rookie season to connect the offense. Coupled with the new player Hilde's firepower support averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game, this "magic revamped" Warriors may be able to open up a new tactical dimension.
What really makes management headache is the salary dilemma. Antetokounmpo's maximum salary of 54 million in the 25-26 season is like a "lotus". It can only be seen from afar and not played with. If you want to swallow this contract, you must clear out the same salary space.
Currently, there are only two major contracts left in the team, Butler (66.3 million next season) and Green (25.5 million). The 36-year-old Butler has become the most realistic victim because he has no veto on the deal. If you take on role players such as Payton II, although salary matching can be achieved, Butler's playoff tough ability and leadership temperament are the scariest resources of this "post-Clay era" Warriors. If the Warriors choose one of two, it is likely that Butler will be left behind and Antetokounmpo will be given up.
The result of this gamble is only two extremes: either the dominance of the "Douku era" is reproduced, allowing the Warriors to soar to the terrifying magnitude of 125 points per game; or the overdrawn future draft picks + core aging (Curry will turn 37 years old), causing the team to fall into the abyss of a decade of reconstruction. What's even more dangerous is that the game rights dispute between Green and Antetokounmpo may repeat the conflict between Durant and his dream pursuit back then. Once the locker room is out of control, the team culture that the Warriors have worked hard for ten years may collapse instantly.
Standing at the intersection of fate, every decision of Warriors boss Rakob is writing history. Antetokounmpo's joining may allow Chase Center to raise the championship flag again, but it may also be the last straw that broke the dynasty.
As an anonymous executive said, "This is the most risky deal in NBA history", but when you hold Curry's last peak period, can you have a second choice betting on everything? ”
If you are the owner of the Warriors team, will you break up in order to chase Antetokounmpo and be considered a stable lineup?
