The summer of 2015 was undoubtedly a successful season for Arthur's side, not Blackburn, who "just" won two domestic cups, but the NBA Golden State Warriors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just one year later, the Warriors went from playoff team to championship team, and Stephen Curry went from star to superstar! This is the story of the Warriors and Curry, and to be honest, it's a bit mysterious, but it's the truth, and it doesn't seem to be a flash in the pan!

Think of the Warriors in 2014, who finished sixth in the West in 2013-14 and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Clippers.

In the 2013-14 season, Curry averaged 24 points, 8.5 assists and 3.3 three-pointers per game, and at best he was a star who shot particularly accurately from three-point range.

So in the summer of 2014, Arthur fired former head coach Mark Jackson and hired Steve Kerr as head coach. In terms of the team's lineup, just sending away former All-Star David Lee is a relatively big move.

To be honest, because Kerr had no coaching experience at that time, and there were no important reinforcements, people were not optimistic about the Warriors at that time, and even the Warriors' players were reluctant to leave Jackson.

But by the summer of 2015, everything had changed dramatically, with the Warriors leading the regular season with a 67-15 record, and Curry, who averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists and 3.6 three-pointers per game in 2014-15, won the regular season MVP for the first time with his team's record. The Warriors suddenly became a superpower in the league, and Curry suddenly became a superstar.

The Warriors took a big gamble in exchange for their most glorious regular season in franchise history, and Kerr's "small-ball tactics" swept the league, and in 2014-15 they continued to set records, winning 50 games in just 62 games, the fastest in franchise history and the 20th team in history to do so. Subsequently, they won 60 games in just 73 games, locked up the first place in the West and set the best record in a single season in team history.

Kerr also set a record for the number of wins a rookie coach held by Suns coach Paul Westphal in 1992-1993 and Bulls coach Tom Siberdeau in 2010-2011.

Curry turned into a "perverted quasi-quasi", and during the 2014-15 regular season, Curry made a total of 286 three-pointers, breaking his own all-time record of 272 three-pointers in a single season. In the all-time list for the number of three-pointers made in a single season, Curry appeared in the top five three times!

286 three-pointers in 2014-15 are undoubtedly in first place, 272 three-pointers in 2012-13 are in second place, and 261 three-pointers in 2013-14 are in fifth place!

But the Warriors' magic continued, and in the playoffs, they defeated the Pelicans, Grizzlies, Rockets and Cavaliers, and won the championship again after 40 years!

Although many people think that they won the championship with an element of luck, they did win it!

This year, they have created too many records and won too many honors, including various awards selected by major institutions.

The Warriors have a record of 67 wins and 15 losses in the regular season, proud of the whole league, facing them who are almost not inferior to any team, the most impressive thing is their three-point shot, the double evolution of the Splash Brothers has indeed raised the Warriors to a level, Curry won the MVP this year, and the offensive end led the team to be more comfortable, it may be the arrival of Kerr, who helped Curry a lot, as well as Thompson's qualitative change, 37 points in a single quarter, often scoring around the cover in the game, Thompson, who is focused on shooting, has indeed undergone a qualitative change.

Of course, the team still relies on Green and others, Green is indeed an axis of the team, Kerr gives him a lot of space, he can be said to become very versatile, assists, passes, rebounds, defense, etc., the efficiency value is at the top of the league, so it is not unreasonable for him to be able to defend five positions, and Bogut can be said to be an uncle-style character, the team's interior barrier, the interior line has almost no offensive power, that is, to cover Curry and then dunk, or to protect the team's basket, he has done a good job, The Warriors, who had faced almost no team and showed their weaknesses, ended the regular season like this.

In the playoffs, although there were some challenges, such as Tony Allen's defense embarrassed the Splash Brothers, and Randolph's back play blew Green to the ground, but in the end, Kerr's strain often saved the team, and the same was true in the face of the Cavaliers, who couldn't fight, and finally got on the 5 small man lineup, fighting rotation and speed with you, killing you with three points on the offensive end, and killing you with rotation on the defensive end, and won the championship in this way.

The Warriors won the championship this season, which can be said to be strong, but next season, can they still do the same?

The opponent will certainly deal well with the Warriors' lineup, five small men, benches, Bogut's defense, three-pointers, and these will still be their weapons next season.

Looking at the current personnel structure of the Warriors, the players on their roster who are on contract are:

1. David Lee 6 years 80 million, due in the summer of 2016;

2. Andrew Boggart 3 years 36 million, expiring in the summer of 2017;

3. Andre Iguodala 4 years 48 million, due in the summer of 2017;

4. Stephen Curry 44 million for 4 years, expiring in the summer of 2017;

5. Shane-Livingston 3 years 17 million, due in the summer of 2017, not fully guaranteed;

6. Klay Thompson's 5-year 80 million, effective this summer.

The players with options are:

1. Marlys-Speights 3 years, 11 million, expires in the summer of 2016, and the team option is available this summer;

2. Harrison Barnes' rookie contract, team option this summer;

3. Brandon Rush expires in the summer of 2016 with a player option this year;

4. Festus Aizeli's rookie contract, expiring in the summer of 2016, with a team option this summer.

Expired Contracts:

1. Leandro Barbossa;

2. Draymond Green;

3. Yi Jianlian;

4. Justin Holiday ;

5. James Michael McAdoo.

Judging by the current personnel structure, the rise of the Warriors is not unreasonable. The Warriors' core is very stable and has been foreshadowed from a very early stage, and the six players who have played the most minutes in this playoff season are Curry, Green, Thompson, Barnes, Iguodala and Bogert. Among them, only one player needs to renew his contract, Green. Barnes, on the other hand, is still on his rookie contract and only needs to exercise the team option to keep him for another year.

In the championship battle, Green scored a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, for a small man like Green, the most feared thing is that he is usually excellent, and he can show his all-round style on the stage of the finals, which is undoubtedly an authoritative proof of strength.

Previously, Arthur had already said at the club's top management meeting that he was ready to renew Green's contract for a price of about $15 million, which was already very sincere. For the Warriors, Green is the most important link in the offensive and defensive chain, and looking at the league, there are not many players who can play the same role, and the price is not low, and there is absolutely no suspense about renewing Green's contract.

Barnes, who is 2.03 meters tall, has a bright future, he has excellent physique, solid skills, and a style of play that suits the Warriors, and his professionalism is also good. Previously, the industry expected him to rival Chandler Parsons.

But the problem is that in the Finals against the Cavaliers, Barnes dropped the chain, scoring 11 points, 11 points, 0 points, 14 points, 8 points, and 9 points in six games, with a total shooting rate of only 37.3%. In the face of such results, it is difficult to say whether the Warriors will renew his contract early, and Arthur is more inclined to choose not to renew his contract first, test him for a year, and wait for a year.

As for what to wait for?

Then only Arthur, who has the memories of his previous life, knows.

Bogut and Speights rarely played in the Finals, but that doesn't mean they weren't important. Boggart is a very important part of the Warriors' defensive system, second only to Green, and he is also the only big man on the team above the calibre, and since he has two years left on his contract, the Warriors have no reason to trade him.

Speights' situation is somewhat similar, with the only difference being that if the Warriors can get a better power forward, then Speights could be packaged and traded.

Among the players available for trade, David Lee is likely to be put on the shelf. Yes, David Lee did save the Warriors in the Finals, but at the end of the day, the current Warriors don't need him, and his salary is just too expensive.

Considering that David Lee has only one year left on his contract, his trade value will be very good, and teams eager to empty salary space will want to acquire him, besides, Lee really has the strength, 20+10 data is handy, but his style of play is not suitable for the Warriors.

As for the other players, including Barbossa, there should be only one price to measure. Whether they stay or not depends largely on whether the price is right and whether the Warriors want to trade.

The only player who needs Arthur's attention is Yi Jianlian. Last season, Yi Jianlian averaged 7.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game, and he was also a relatively obvious defensive hole, which can be said to be a complete role player.

If it is purely from a competitive point of view, there is nothing special about renewing Yi Jianlian's contract, that is, looking at the price, a contract with an annual salary of $2 million is already good.

But the problem is that Yi Jianlian has a huge Chinese market behind him, you must know that Yi Jianlian was almost selected into the All-Star starting lineup last season!

In the end, a two-year contract renewal of 10 million was sent to Yi Jianlian, which is also the highest contract Arthur can give.

All in all, the Warriors' core roster is very stable, and there is no need to worry too much about it this summer, and the attitude of the Warriors is very clear about individual players who need contracts. The Warriors in the new season are still a giant team that can be feared by the whole league. (To be continued.) )
