Warriors are out and refuse big changes! Still with Curry Butler as the core, Kumingga is most likely to leave the team

Basketball

On May 16, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, while the Warriors have ended their journey this season, losing 1-4 to the Timberwolves in the Western Conference semi-finals, ending their journey this season. Earlier, the Warriors also held a season summary press conference, with many core members participating, and the outside world also revealed that the Warriors management does not plan to make major changes to the roster this summer.

The Warriors performed well this season, making a big deal and got Butler from the Heat, which also allowed them to rush directly from the bottom of the West to the seventh position in the West. In the playoffs, they defeated the Grizzlies and successfully advanced to the playoffs. They faced the Rockets, the second in the West in the first round. With their richer experience, they successfully eliminated their opponents in the tiebreak and successfully advanced. Unfortunately, Curry's injury changed the situation in the second round against the Timberwolves and was eventually eliminated 1-4.

In this way, the Warriors' journey this season is over, and they are a little helpless about this result. After all, they thought they would continue to stay in the playoffs, but unfortunately Curry's injury changed all this. However, the Warriors did not have much regret. After all, injuries have become part of the game, and every player is still somewhat disappointed. Now that the Warriors are out, the team also needs to make some changes to the roster this summer, but there will be no major changes.

Warriors reporter Anthony Slater revealed that the Warriors management does not plan to make major changes to the lineup. They want to improve the range below Curry, Butler, and Zhu Meng. They still believe that this combination is enough to compete for the championship. Although stars like Durant and Antetokounmpo may appear in the free market this summer, the Warriors do not seem to be planning to compete. After all, the existing core lineup is still good, and they want to strengthen the role players rather than reorganize the core lineup.

And in the role lineup, Kumingga is the most likely to leave the team. His contract expires this summer, and the Warriors can provide qualification quotes to make him a restricted player. In this way, the Warriors can negotiate to sign first and then exchange, which can bring them some rewards and even some reinforcements. Kumingga was also abandoned in the early stages of the playoffs, and he didn't get a chance until Curry was injured and performed well, but unfortunately he still failed to help the team.
