In just a few years, the Warriors degenerated from a championship-caliber team to a bad team that can only win 20 games a season, and in the face of such a result, the management of the Warriors never hesitated, and they immediately set out to rebuild, first of all, the only stable point of the team, "Chief" Parrish and the third draft pick, in exchange for their No. 1 pick and No. 13 pick, the Warriors selected Joe Barry Carroll and sent Phil Smith to the Clippers. By getting Wilder Free, sending Wayne Cooper to the Jazz, getting Bernard King, the Warriors made a drastic overhaul because they had the confidence to do it, and the last time they did that, they won a championship the following season, so what about this time.

From the perspective of later generations, the Warriors were able to trade Parrish and the No. 3 draft pick to the Green Shirts at that time was completely "fooled" by Auerbach, and he kept telling the Warriors how talented Joe Barry Carroll was, how perfect he was, and how unlimited his potential was, and sure enough, the Warriors finally agreed to the deal, and this deal, before every year's draft, will be brought out to talk about things, and they are all in the catalog of the most loss-making transactions in history, "Chiefs" Needless to say, the Warriors' No. 3 pick allowed the Green Shirts to choose a future Hall of Fame-caliber superstar, former Rockets coach Kevin McHale.

As one of the bargaining chips in the trade that year, Joe Barry Carroll is actually a very good player, but compared to Parrish and McHale, he has not yet reached the level of the Hall of Fame, Carroll is 216 cm tall, serving as a center, he averaged 18.9 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in his first season, shooting nearly 50%, it can be said that he is a very prolific player, his biggest problem is his attitude to the game, he doesn't like basketball, he doesn't like confrontation, The league was a lucrative profession for him, which left him with no motivation to move forward at all, which made him enter the final years of his career soon after four or five years of glory.

Wilder-Free's nickname is "Around the World", because he once performed a 366 violent dunk in the air that caused Herb Smith, who was sitting on the sidelines to watch the game, exclaimed "TheWorld", Freery has excellent bounce, hard ball style, very good at finding confrontations in the air, relying on strong basketball talent, twisting his body to throw the ball in, and sometimes earning free throws, Freery has become the temporary leader of this weak team, He was able to score a team-high 24.1 points per game, along with 5.6 assists and 1.3 steals. The Warriors' trade for Cooper for Bernard King was a lucrative deal, a Hall of Fame-caliber player who played as a small forward with great scoring ability and inefficiency, and in his fourth season, Bernard King averaged 21.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 58.8% from the field! It's a pity that in the weak Warriors, Bernard King couldn't get the attention of fans even if he had such an eye-catching performance.

In the 1980 NBA draft, the Warriors selected Larry Smith, known as the "villain", with the first pick in the second round, Smith is 203 cm tall, serving as a center, and the best job is to grab rebounds, and the ball is in his hand, ordinary people can't take it down, he was able to average 12.1 rebounds per game in his first season with the Warriors, Larry Smith played in Golden State for nine years, and in these nine years, he ensured that the Golden State center position was worry-free. If you are a die-hard fan who began to pay attention to NBA games when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, you should be familiar with the name Larry Smith, in the second half of Yao Ming's debut season, Rockets head coach Tom Janovic temporarily left the team due to bladder cancer, and Larry Smith, who was the assistant coach of the Rockets at the time, took the position of head coach. The only reason why Larry Smith's approach can be explained is that Larry Smith, who used to be a center, defined the center as dominating the interior, half volleys, and big hooks are synonymous with "soft", and in the lineup at the time, he preferred Kevin Cato, a backup center with a similar style of play, without Yao Ming on the inside, the last few games of the Rockets were rotten, and finally the Rockets were kicked out of the playoffs by the Suns in the 2002-2003 season with only one ball disadvantage.

The 1980-1981 season of the Warriors was strikingly similar to the Rockets that year, they were also kicked out of the playoffs with a one-game disadvantage, and in the 1981-1982 season, the Warriors were like a curse, although the team improved by 6 wins, but it was still a one-game disadvantage and was once again blocked from the playoffs, Bernard King, Wald Free, and Joe Barry Carroll became the league's famous trident, but the pair with unlimited potential was eventually crushed by injuries. In the 1982-1983 season, the Warriors suffered a once-in-a-century injury frenzy. Joe Barry Carroll averaged 24.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game to become the team's No. 1 firepower, Wald Freey was traded to the Cavaliers after 19 games, Puvis Schott only played 67 games due to injury, but after returning from injury, Schott played very well, averaging 21.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, Larry Smith only played 49 games, and Sleep Floyd, who transferred from the Nets, only played 33 games...... The Warriors missed a total of 238 games due to injuries throughout the season, which set a new NBA record, because of injuries, the team once couldn't even get enough people to work, and as many as 19 players came and went in and out of the Warriors throughout the season, and the Warriors had no hope of making the playoffs, sending Bernard King to New York in exchange for promising young student Michael Ray Richardson.

Richardson's starting point is very high, when he was a sophomore in the rookie, he averaged assists and steals per game in the NBA season, and successfully entered the NBA All-Star team, and for a while Richardson became a popular fried chicken in the NBA, but such a talented player was eventually ruined by drugs, and his career lasted only eight years, Richardson played 33 games with the Warriors, He averaged 12.5 points, 7.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game before switching to the New Jersey Nets after the season. It is worth mentioning that Bernard King ushered in a big explosion after going to New York and played a career masterpiece, but everything ended on March 23, 1985, Bernard King suffered a serious tear in the knee ligament against Casas City, which made him almost reimburse for two seasons, and it was Bernard King's injury that caused the Knicks' originally good record to slide rapidly, and the Knicks were lucky to draw the first pick in 1985 with their erosive record, and then they used this pick to select " King of New York" Patrick Ewing.

In the 1983-1984 season, John Bach became the team's new head coach, and at the age of 58, he became the oldest new coach in the NBA, Bach spent a total of four seasons in Golden State, (1979-1980 briefly coached 21 games for Attels, in fact he only coached the Warriors for three seasons) with a record of 95-172... With 557 wins and 518 losses, the name Atles is to the Warriors what Jerry Sloan is to the Jazz.

This season Pvis Schott became the team's leading scorer. He averaged 22.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, Joe Barry Carroll was alone with 20.5 points and 8.0 rebounds, Slip Floyd got rid of injury restrictions and averaged 16.8 points, 3.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, Larry Smith averaged 7.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, the Warriors still didn't get the floor of the playoffs, the last time they appeared in the playoffs was seven years ago in the 1976-1977 season, everyone wanted to end this nightmare game, but the Warriors' downfall will continue.

In the 1984-1985 season, the Warriors suffered another heavy blow, and the team's number one big man, Joe Barry Carroll, went to Italy to play. Averaging 28.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, Sripple Floyd also averaged 19.5 points and 5.0 assists per game, Larry Smith averaged 11.1 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, except for these three, the others did not have any outstanding performances, the team was still blocked from the playoffs, in the 1985-1986 season, Joe Barry Carroll returned, while averaging 21.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, Schott continued last season's explosive performance, averaging 25.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, Slip Floyd averaged 17.2 points and 9.1 assists per game, Larry Smith averaged 9.6 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, the team played a 30-52 record this season, ranking first in the West, at this time, the Warriors have become synonymous with fish belly, and the belly of the fish belly is turned white, however, in the 1985 NBA draft, the Warriors selected a future Hall of Fame level player with the 7th pick in the first round, and it is precisely because of his existence that the Warriors see the hope of revival, his nickname is"Golden Left Hand," he was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2011, and in 2012, the Warriors retired his No. 17 jersey.
