Chapter 956: Adu Turmoil
"In the end, the premise of this decision is the prospects and potential for future development, and I want to always make sure that I am on the right track. In this new stage of my life, I have to seize the opportunity not to be conservative, but to choose to challenge myself in a new city and a new environment, so that I can grow further. With that in mind, I decided to join the Warriors. β
"I'm Washington, but grew up in Oklahoma. It taught me so much, made me feel at home, and allowed me to grow into a real man. I am full of gratitude to the Thunder and even the fans of the Thunder, and I can't put it into words, in my heart, this team will live forever. The friendships and memories here transcend basketball, which is what makes me so entangled. β
"I am well aware that this decision will disappoint many people, and yes, I am also painful. But I'm sure I've made the right decision, and I'm convinced. β
"I'm going to miss Oklahoma and everything I've worked so hard here. I will cherish my bond with the team, and I will remember the people who have been with me day and night, and the fans who have supported me unconditionally. It means so much to me and my family, and I really can't be more grateful. β
Durant's statement was sincere, and he obviously did not notify the detonator in advance, otherwise he would definitely not have sent so much, Jiang Haoran could only wish the detonator not to be angry. γDetonator (Thunder Management)γ
Jiang Haoran added: "Xia Yan, he still has one less word, he wants to defeat the Spurs next year!" β
Xia Yan nodded violently: "Yes, otherwise he wouldn't go to the warriors, only by joining a stronger team can he go further." β
The major basketball forums blew up directly, because Wei Shao didn't seem to know about it at all, and the Wang Fang brothers "betrayed" like this? Wei Shao didn't have any response, if he told him in advance, he would definitely come out to bless according to Wei Shao's character, but obviously Durant's decision was only discussed with the Warriors.
What kind of sarcasm does the migrant worker Du not talk about brotherly righteousness, why don't you join the spurs and other words are flying all over the sky.
There are also many Spurs fans who have expressed deep concern, the Spurs have not done anything this season, and rookie Murray Jr. is just a water cooler player, can he beat the Warriors with the status quo?
You must know that Durant is one of the few players who is the most effective in defending Jiang Haoran!
In the next half hour, shortly after Durant announced that he would join the Warriors, Mavericks center Grunia Pachulia, who had 22 points and 21 rebounds in a single game, reached a one-year, $2.9 million verbal agreement with the Warriors.
Zhazapatchulia, who had a salary of $5.2 million last season, took a pay cut to join the Warriors. Pachulia is expected to play as the Warriors' starting center. In the new season, the Warriors' starting lineup will be extremely rebellious.
Zhazapachulia Jiang Haoran knows, how did he know? Because this season, the "boxer" fell to the ground and kicked Danny Green in the face during the game, almost causing a conflict, and the ball was a bit dirty to play.
Of course, for the Warriors, the team still has to find a way to clear salary space to accommodate the addition of Durant. According to ESPN's Mark Stern, Warriors small forward Harrison Barnes has reached a four-year, $94 million deal with the Mavericks. Bogut will also be sent to the Mavericks, with contract details still being negotiated.
"It's over, it's like a dirty one." Bogut left, and a Zaza came, the two were basically the same, Jiang Haoran couldn't help but shake his head.
And the 1+1 contract signed by Adu also ensures that he can continue to choose next summer. However, for the Warriors, the team's salary pressure will be very heavy next summer, and Durant and Curry will renew their contracts at the same time.
The Spurs didn't respond, and the retweets were much later than the official tweets of other Western teams.
With Adu's move to the Warriors, the Warriors will undoubtedly become the strongest team in the league. Curry, Thompson, Durant and Green will build the most terrifying offensive system in the league. Three players who average more than 22 points per game plus one of the league's top three efficiency Chasers, Green......
Yahoo Sports' Wojna Rowski revealed that after making the decision, Durant made a phone call to Thunder general manager Presti to inform him that he would be joining the Warriors.
In the previous meeting, Durant was "impressed" by the Warriors, and in addition to this, the Warriors did not hesitate to let Jerry West play a lobbyist and use his personal experience to lobby Durant.
It is worth mentioning that Durant and Curry have won the MVP of the past three seasons, and at the same time, Durant replaced Barnes, which not only means a high level of improvement, but also means that the "Death Five" has been upgraded to the extreme version.
Judging from the average data per game, Curry averaged 30.1 points per game last season, Durant 28.2 points, and Thompson 22.1 points, ranking 1st, 3rd and 11th in the regular season respectively, with a total of 80.3 points! This is undoubtedly the Big Three with the strongest offensive firepower in the league, even stronger than the combination of James, Wade and Bosh back then.
"Better than our JK, if you look at the data alone." Jiang Haoran picked up a razor and shaved his beard.
But before he finished speaking, the Yahoo reporter gave another statistic on his Twitter: the Spurs' JK combination has averaged a staggering 64 points per game in the playoffs this season, and if you add the GDP three, it is 95 points!
So, how scary it would be if Durant joined the Spurs, but that's just just thinking about it.
How did the Warriors recruit Durant? In addition to using West's appearance, it was revealed that during the meeting with Durant, the Warriors said this sentence in addition to stating the stakes:
"We can still win the championship without you; If you don't join us, maybe you can win the championship; But if you join forces with us, you can win a lot of championships. It was such remarks that made Durant excited, and finally chose to join the Warriors.
"Dreaming." Jiang Haoran couldn't help but clench the yogurt box, what does it mean to still win the championship? Is this not taking their spurs in the eyes anymore?
In theory, this is true. The age structure of the Warriors is very reasonable. Durant and Curry were both born in 1988, and Green and Thompson are both members of the post-90s, in other words, the four kings of the Warriors are all under the age of 30 and have unlimited prospects.
There is an ID called Emperor Yao himself who commented in the Tiger Fight News: "The West is the infighting between the Spurs and the Warriors, Leonard is only 25 years old, Jiang Haoran is only 22, and the pattern of JK-VS-Four Heavenly Kings was born!" β
Park Chulong likes the ID upstairs: "Have pity on me for the big thunder!" The lineup that has been strengthened around Adu! β
