On May 17, Warriors general manager Dunleavy and head coach Cole attended the press conference at the end of the season. Cole said that as long as Curry is healthy, the Warriors have a chance to win the championship. Cole also said that the team will never change the offensive system; Dunleavy firmly believes that the Kuba Chase combination can lead the team to win the championship, and Kumingga's return is very reasonable and operational.
Speaking of the Warriors' offensive system, Kerr said: This is our solar system. (Stephen Curry) is) Our Sun. Stephen is one of the greatest players of all time and is at his peak. You can't copy another Stephen (Curry) in the short term. Any remarks about our need to change the offensive system are ridiculous in my opinion. what does that mean? Should Stephen stop running for cover? Our style of play has always been very efficient and powerful. We will continue to adhere to the existing system. Any other practices are irresponsible to the team.
Steve Cole said that improvements within the team can be achieved through adjustments to the team and the roster. The team needs more shooting opportunities and bigger size, but Cole said the Warriors won’t add players just to increase their size, he is looking for good players and he is not willing to let Green play too many centers. Steve Cole recalled that just over a week ago, the Warriors led 1-0; he felt that as long as Curry recovered, the Warriors would be not far from winning and rushing to the championship, and he still thinks so now.
Speaking of whether Cuminga will return to the Warriors, Cole said: If he returns, we will definitely let him play with Butler, Green and Curry in the early part of the new season. In my opinion, this is a natural arrangement. We don't have such conditions this year. Since getting Butler, we have been basically in the playoffs, and that was when he was injured.
Speaking of potential trading signings, Mike Dunleavy Jr. said that any transfer, especially a major transfer for the stars, will be carefully considered to see how much improvement it will bring to the players. If the choice is correct, he is not against mortgage futures. He also doesn't want to fall into a situation without future support due to catastrophic injuries.
Previously, Haslem said on the show: The Warriors will not think of getting the championship trophy again in the past two years. The West is getting stronger and stronger. Although Curry and Butler can achieve each other, the problem with center position and Kumingga lies there. The Warriors urgently need a player who is tall and long and can attack and defend to reduce the burden on Curry and Butler.
Talking about whether the Warriors can rely on the three major stars to win the championship in the next two years? Dunleavy said: I don’t want to make a conclusion too early, but I prefer to think short-term and see it as a one-year opportunity.
Dunleavy also said that as long as he has the core lineup of Curry, Butler and Zhu Meng, the team's only goal is to compete for the championship.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. said that as long as Curry, Butler and Zhumeng Green are still at their peak, they will strive for the championship; he believes that the team needs to add body shape and shooting ability, but the Warriors will use their trump card at any time - let Zhumeng be the center, but not all this season.
Dunleavy revealed that in May he discussed the team's elimination with Curry, Butler and Zhu Meng, which is indeed a bit unsettling, but he saw the team's huge improvement after signing Butler, which made him more confident in the offseason because the second in command is in place, but the Warriors need to get better.
Dunleavy said: With a player like Jimmy, I feel better next season. We will build a roster around him, Curry, Dream Chasing and some other players. Overall, I think we are in a much better state than we were a year ago.
Regarding Kumingga's situation, Dunleavy said: Although the Warriors did not play in some playoff games, it is very reasonable and operational for him to return to the team. We value him very much. He is only 21 years old, he is improving every year, has a great training attitude, and is now a true rotation contributor. We see him as an important part of the team's future. In the playoffs, the rotation lineup will be compressed and the matching relationship will change, but we are full of confidence in Kumingga and believe that he can help us win.
This season, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 and stopped in the Western Conference semi-finals. Curry accidentally swelled his hamstrings, which is an important reason why the Warriors lost four consecutive games and were eliminated. What actions will the Warriors make this summer? Let's wait and see.
