NBA – THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

 NBA – THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS AT THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA… WHILE AIMING FOR THE TITLE?

NBA - Defending champions, the Golden State Warriors will still be a team to beat in the NBA this season.  And behind Stephen Curry, Draymond Green or Klay Thompson, youth is growing.  A pivotal year is coming for the franchise: it is still aiming for the title, and is also one of the favorites, but it is also preparing the sequel. 

The Warriors' wager has been successful. Their return to the top after two supposedly "transitional" years was marked by the conclusion of the previous season with their fourth championship in eight seasons. The victory demonstrated that Californian leaders who dared to play on two typically opposing sides—battling for the championship while nurturing fresh talent—had done so correctly. Golden State may brag that it has one of the most promising hard cores in the championship and is one of the top two or three favorites for its own succession at the start of a new season.

" FAVORITE WARRIORS, BUT WILLING TO MAKE ROOM FOR YOUTH" 

It might not be so easy in practice. James Wiseman, the second overall pick in the 2020 draft, saw no action on the court in 2018. Of course, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody may be spotted during the postseason without actually weighing in. With the exception of Jordan Poole, who had established himself as a key player in the rotation, Stephen Curry and his teammates ultimately prevailed against rather than in response to the presence of young individuals in the workforce.

The Warriors' strategy came together perfectly. And better still. Draymond Green has reverted to his previous level of greatness and discipline after spending the previous two years demotivated, injured, or even both. In order to maintain his position in the NBA Finals, Klay Thompson has developed certain skills and a little rhythm. All six of the team's starters have participated in each of the 22 postseason games. It's not new that you also need a little bit of luck in the NBA.

Will there be the same number in 2022–2023? Everything suggests that this group can recreate the hack on paper. By winning a new ring without Kevin Durant, the Warriors offered their own history a completely different perspective. Their reputation will endure. And in particular that of Curry, who is at the pinnacle of his game right now, unquestionably stronger than ever, and who was eventually crowned the Finals MVP. They feel emancipated in this place, much like their hero.

After two off seasons, Thompson was able to continue playing. He had a challenging summer, but he could relax a bit. Anyhow, it develops behind. In addition to being one of the players crucial to the team's success, Andrew Wiggins has established himself as the X-factor. Poole is a future star, or at least he possesses the necessary traits, such as his capacity to make a difference with the ball in his hands. Donte DiVincenzo is a great pickaxe, and it's impressive to consider that he's only the team's fourth "back."

Otto Porter will be replaced by JaMychal Green. In the preseason, both Wiseman and Moody were present. Kuminga seemed prepared to move forward. Rollins and Baldwin, two rookies, both made solid choices in line with their forerunners. Five of the team's fourteen players are 21 or younger. They will have more power this year, and they bring the Warriors an athletic component they haven't had since they rose to the top.

The Warriors almost appear to be without flaws. or gave. because a catch is always involved. The situation was excellent. The video wasn't made public until Green hit Poole in the face during a training session. What effects is this attack going to have? Not being suspended was the veteran. He apologized to his teammates in small groups and then publicly, then he stayed away from them for a few days. But a problem developed.

Kevon Looney insists on the notion of "trust" and the fact that Draymond will have to regain it, which would therefore insinuate that it has been broken.  What the All-Star interior refutes, speaking instead of "comradeship."  Whatever the term chosen, he will have to make his efforts.  With such a record, he should have nothing more to prove.  This incident changes everything.  Because if he really wants to continue the adventure in San Francisco, he will once again have to demonstrate his importance.

The 32-year-old has a season-long option (27 million). In 2024, or consequently starting in 2023, it might test the market. To start, restore a coat of arms. "Draymond is in a great spot right now. He has a choice, which is always to the players' favor. He'll probably have a great season, in my opinion. He is playing with a lot on the line ", the general manager Bob Myers admits.

It nearly makes sense to think it's ironic. Because a type of pressure blow is concealed beneath this assertion. Green will have to give up the heat blue if he wants his money. The Warriors have made a decision for now. They extended contracts with Andrew Wiggins for 103 million over four years and Poole for 123 million. Two players who are younger than him are anticipated to keep improving. The corporation is now well above the Salary Cap thanks to their new contracts.

The cost of the personnel, including taxes, should be close to $500 million. Monstrous. The former defender of the year has little money left over. But it might serve as a motivating factor for him. He will once again be an important factor. The Warriors will have everything they need if he participates to help them win at least one more championship. while awaiting a potential separation, which is becoming less likely.

This year appears to be a turning point for the franchise. Children will play a bigger part, and if they don't develop quickly enough, the bench might be one of Golden State's few weak points. Obviously, everything will depend on everyone's health, but the window for the title is still open. Before Curry's eventual decline, there is still time for a double, or at the very least, one more championship in the following three years. For the Warriors, a new era is starting. steadily but slowly. Following the wager, a new problem presents itself: preserving the dynasty while penning the fresh pages of the following chapter in the History of the Warriors.
