11.7 million in 2 years, the Warriors signed a contract! The four giants were finally born, and there is a real chance to win the championship next season

It is still about a month before the new season's preseason starts. Recently, the league has successively reached several major signings. First, the Bucks and Antetokounmpo's brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo signed a one-year, $2.9 million contract. The potential purpose is also obvious, that is, to try their best to keep Antetokounmpo. As long as Antetokounmpo's brother is here, Antetokounmpo's probability will not leave. Second, the Mavericks and PJ Washington reached a four-year, $90 million contract renewal, with good cost performance. As the team's No. 3 scoring point, Irving's right-hand assistant, Washington averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, which is completely worthy of his value. In the new season, the Mavericks, who have three No. 1 picks, have a chance to make waves in the Western Conference.

The third one, Thomas returned to the Nets with a 1-year, $6 million qualification offer, which was embarrassing. Thomas had been pursuing a large contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan, but unfortunately no one was willing to give him an olive branch, and the Nets themselves felt that he was not worth the price. Although Thomas, as the team's number one scoring core, averaged 24 points per game last season, due to his personal attributes, this kind of guard who is short, has no defense and is unique in the game is not popular in the market. In addition, Thomas's stubbornness in asking for a big contract eventually led to his plunge in value and he could only return to the Nets with qualifications. It is estimated that he will not be able to stay in the Nets for long. Fourth, the Warriors are here to survive, and Horford is finally here! Free agent Al Horford signed a two-year $11.7 million contract with the Warriors, with the second year player option. Before signing Horford, the Warriors were in no way this offseason and there was almost no movement. The only signing was in late August, when he reached a training camp contract with young defender Taywin Kimsey. Signing him was also used to play in the Development League and was unlikely to enter the official roster. Now Horford's signing is truly the Warriors' first serious operation this summer. In fact, there was news that Horford was going to join the Warriors a long time ago, but it has not been officially finalized. There are two reasons. The first is that Horford is considering whether to retire or go to a farther place to play. This is related to his family factor. His sixth child is about to be born. The second is Kumingga's situation. Kumingga's contract renewal problem has not been resolved, which has also affected the signing of contracts between the Warriors and other players.

And now, even though the negotiations between the Warriors and Kumingga still have no progress, the Warriors can't wait to strengthen and finally defeated veteran Horford. The reason for winning Horford is very simple. The Warriors lack centers too much. Post is the only one with the team who is over 2.05 meters tall. Zhu Meng Green can play centers, but his positioning is very special. Looney, a former hero of the dynasty, also left this summer and chose to join the Pelicans. If the Warriors don't sign centers, they will have nothing to play next season. In fact, Horford is not tall, 2.06 meters tall, but he does have experience and is very functional. He still has a lot of oil to use at the age of 39. Last season, Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 blocks per game, and he can hit two three-pointers per game. After signing this contract, Horford's total career salary will be $296.8 million, and he will receive 75.18 million in the Hawks in 9 years, Celtics will have 156.2 million in 7 years, 76ers will have 26.25 million in 1 year, Thunder will have 27.5 million in 2 years, and Warriors will have 11.7 million in 2 years. For the Warriors, they will definitely not give up after introducing Horford. The team still has a lot of room for reinforcement, and of course, they also need to solve the problem of Kumingga as soon as possible. In addition to Horford, their recruitment targets also include many high-quality championship puzzles such as Payton Jr., Melton Jr., Curry Jr., and others. There is even Westbrook. Westbrook has no team yet, which makes no sense. He actually played very well in the Nuggets last season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and he still has the power to play.

And the Warriors also need Westbrook, who is full of enthusiasm and is very committed to the game. If Cumingga wants to leave, the Warriors' ability to hit the basket will be greatly weakened. Curry's current ability to tear the defense is definitely not as good as his peak period. Butler also has a positional fighting style, and his playing style is slowly and leisurely, while Westbrook's ability to hit the basket is still very strong. How many fans want to see Curry and Westbrook join forces? Now, the Warriors have gathered at the old-school All-Star Four giants of Curry + Butler + Dream Chasing Green + Horford. Their books are quite strong, and they may not be the strongest in the West, but they are definitely competitive. Curry had previously stated that their lineup will definitely be able to compete for the championship next season. Do you think the Warriors still have the possibility of winning the championship?
