The Warriors are the dynasty team of the league today. In their peak 8 years, they won four championships. Curry, as the boss of the team, has always been in the team. From 2015 to 2019, the Warriors dominated the West and entered the finals for five consecutive seasons. However, in 2019, the team encountered a trough, and Durant and Thompson were reimbursed on the finals stage. Since then, the team has also fallen into a long trough. Six people left the Warriors that year. What is the current situation? Five players didn't play, and KD was not satisfied.
MKinney
As a role player, McKinney was the Warriors' forward substitute back then. He didn't have many opportunities to play, but he was also efficient, averaging 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. After leaving the Warriors, McKinney played for three teams, namely the Cavaliers, the Lakers and the Bulls, and he has always been a substitute. After the 21-22 season, McKinney had no ball to play.
Cook
Cook was a very important substitute for the Warriors back then. When he won the championship in 2018, he averaged 9.5 points per game. In 2019, he still averaged 6.9 points per game and performed well outside the three-point line. Since then, he chose to join the Lakers, and his data has continued to decline. Soon after, he was traded to the Cavaliers. Cook also had few opportunities. He was eliminated by the NBA just two years after leaving the Warriors.
Jerebko
The Warriors are not strong inside, and Jerebko was a substitute power forward back then. He performed well that season, averaging 6.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. As a substitute for chasing dreams, he can score on the court and have a range. However, after 19 years, Jerebko took the initiative to bid farewell to the NBA and returned to the European League to play.
Cousins
One of the most sad stars, Cousins was the league's number one center. After suffering a serious injury, he chose to join the Warriors on a small contract. He could still score 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, but his efficiency on both offense and defense was not as good as before. After the Warriors failed to win the championship, Cousins played for teams such as the Rockets, Clippers, Bucks and Nuggets, but he could no longer gain a foothold in the league and eventually bid farewell to the NBA.
Durant
Durant's relationship with the Warriors dropped to freezing point that year, and the Warriors finally sent Durant away through the trade. As a two-time FMVP, Durant was not satisfied after leaving the team. He played for the Nets and the Suns one after another. Although he had superstar teammates around him and his personal performance was also good, the team never did anything in the playoffs, and this year he couldn't even enter the playoffs, which is a controversial existence.
Jordan Bell
Jordan Bell was still in his rookie period and had explosive athletic ability and was optimistic that he could stay in the team. But Bale kept incidents off the court. Not only did he publicly contradict the head coach, but he also went out to spend money but kept the team's bills. He was eventually kicked out by the Warriors. Bale later played for many teams and was eliminated by the NBA at the age of 27, which is a pity.
