Unable to wait for Curry, Butler officially stated, can Dunleavy Jr. perform magic?

Unfortunately, the Warriors finally failed to wait for the moment Curry's G6 comeback. After struggling to resist for a half quarter, facing the young Timberwolves' tide-like offensive, the Warriors, who were exhausted, fell down unwillingly and lonely away from home. They wanted to replicate the magical vision of 2022, but it was ultimately a bubble like a mirror. Everyone had expected such an ending. After all, Curry has lost more than one level of Curry's book strength and his opponent. You can't expect 35-year-old Jimmy to win unparalleled games, right? What's more, there is also a successor to the leader in the opponent's formation who can "please ask my father to do it". Butler made a bold statement and scored 40 points as simple as taking a puppet, but he never scored 40+ points in a game. After all, time is no more forgiving.

In response, Butler became "hard" in a post-match interview. He boldly said: "I can't wait to spend a full season with this excellent team. I really don't want to be unable to play for a few months a year (referring to being suspended by the Heat). "Butler's words have three meanings. One is to express his loyalty to the new club and express his hope to stay here for a long time; the second is to blame part of the failure on insufficient running-in time. If I can stay together from the beginning of the season, the chemistry can definitely go to a higher level; the third is to tease the old club.

Even though Butler is full of confidence, the Warriors fans still have a scale in their hearts. With Curry and Butler as the core, combined with role players such as Dream Chasing, Kumingga, Podjemsky, and Hilder, can the Warriors reach the championship level? There is probably a big gap. This determines that the Warriors must make a difference this offseason, if Kumingga insists on getting the maximum salary, if the boss Lacob really wants to seize the tail of Curry's career and give it a try.

It depends on whether Dunleavy can use magic again. This offseason, there are many big fish in the player market, such as Durant, the old lover, and Antetokounmpo, who the Warriors have been coveting for a long time. Especially the Greek monsters. After all, the combination of Curry and Giannis can really give people infinite imagination. The question is, what kind of chips can the Warriors take out, or conditions to attract big brands to join?

Stars like Antetokounmpo who have been afraid of being poor since childhood, Texas alone has no state tax, which gives the Rockets an innate competitive advantage. If the Warriors want to win the hearts of a star like Giannis, they have to play the card "Ku You Gravity" and tell the story in a round way, so that Antetokounmpo can feel the feeling of moving in with his bag and being a big brother. At the same time, we also have to make a dojo in the snail shell, hold the trading chips with Kumingjia as the main body, and fool the other party's management into pressing the done deal key.

Overall, it's really hard. It depends on whether Dunleavy Jr. can use magic to help the Warriors pass the upcoming offseason smoothly and improve the depth of the lineup as much as possible. Let's wait and see.
