The Warriors still have 4 first rounds + 50 million to strengthen the lineup!

Shams summarized some of the Warriors' recent plans, including: "Retain the Big Three lineup with Curry, Butler and Green as the main body. In addition, the four first-round picks in their hands are used for trading reinforcement, and urgently need to hit the championship next year. The Warriors' goal is a front line with projection/organization capabilities and a defensive inside line with certain strength."

It has to be said that the Warriors currently have quite a lot of chips. In addition to a large number of first-round swaps and second-round draft picks, there are as many as four first-round picks alone, including: first round 2026, first round 2028, first round 2030, first round 2031. It must be said that the Warriors' bargaining chips are quite competitive, almost second only to the Thunder and Rockets.

In addition, the Warriors' salary space this year is close to 50 million. It is known that the eight-man team will be paid 150 million+ in the next season, and the second-level tyrant line will be 200 million+. This means that if the second-level tyrant line is not touched, the Warriors will still have 50 million US dollars to strengthen. To discuss from this perspective, players such as Letters, Xiao Sa, Zui Ge, White, and Botou can all imagine it.

In addition, the Warriors management is willing to offer Butler 110 million in two years, which actually shows the former's determination to win the championship. Young players such as Kumingga, Moody, Podjemsky, and Santos may not have non-sale products under the Warriors' championship goal. In fact, with the joint efforts of Curry and Yongguan, the Warriors have become the most expensive team in the NBA with a market value of 9.4 billion.

Especially the 2022 championship, the Warriors' earnings/market value has increased significantly. It can be seen that the Warriors boss who has enjoyed the peak once wants to do it again. To mention more, Butler's joining has significantly improved the Warriors' competitiveness. The only regret is that it came too late, Curry was consumed too much, and the Warriors had no time to operate.

Quoted Curry's famous quote back then: "Get this summer well, see you next year, no one wants to meet us." The Golden State Warriors in 2026 are one year older, but the good news is that the old guys never lack the will to fight again. At least we have to make up for the regret of being eliminated due to injury this summer. The offseason is about to begin, and a battle without gunpowder has begun.
