On May 17, the NBA playoffs continued. The Warriors were eliminated by the Timberwolves 4-1 in this year's semi-finals and missed the championship. With the Warriors out, their names were rolled together with Antetokounmpo. However, according to reporters from multiple sources, the Warriors seem to have no intention of chasing Antetokounmpo this summer.

As we all know, the Warriors' big three Curry, Butler, and Zhu Meng Green are all quite old, which has brought hidden dangers to their championship competition. Curry's injury in the playoffs is an example. If they want to continue to compete for the championship, they need to continue to add to the lineup. At the same time, Antetokounmpo has been rumored to be the target of the Warriors. Now Antetokounmpo has been determined to leave Milwaukee, and the Warriors have become one of his potential next homes.

However, according to Brett Siegel, the Warriors are not planning to pursue deals with Antetokounmpo or other superstars this offseason. Brett Siegel said the Warriors want to keep Curry, Dream Chasing Green and Butler on the team.

Warriors reporter Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II also talked about the offseason operations of the Warriors, saying that the Warriors did not plan to make major changes to the roster, and they wanted to improve the range below Curry, Butler, and Zhu Meng, and still believe that this combination is enough to compete for the championship. At the same time, Anthony Slater also pointed out that the Warriors are not at the forefront of pursuing Antetokounmpo. The team's internal discussions are about how to strengthen role players around Curry and Butler, rather than pursuing another star.

However, if the Warriors keep their original team, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to win the championship. Former NBA star Danny Green said: "They now have Curry, Butler, Dream Chasing, and Podgemsky. But to be honest, unless the Warriors get Antetokounmpo, I think their championship window has been closed. I don't think they can maximize the use of Curry or Butler's last years of their career, unless they get players like Antetokounmpo."
