No! The Warriors are interested in Ben Simmons?

The gate of the free market has been opened since the time when the Golden State Warriors have not moved, and the particles have not yet recovered! We don’t know when Warriors general manager Dunleavy will reach his first signing this summer? You know, they are now the only team in the league that has not reached any signing.

After the Warriors got Jimmy Butler on the trading deadline, their lineup has become perfect and no longer needed to sign and strengthen? No, no! On the contrary, if the Warriors want to go further in the playoffs, they will definitely need to strengthen further, especially the team's inside. After all, Kevin Looney, who has worked hard for the Warriors for ten years this summer, went to the New Orleans Pelicans. So, why did the Warriors hold their troops in a desperate need for reinforcements? The most fundamental reason for this is that Jonathan Kumingga is still and will not be decided.

Before the free market door opened, the Warriors provided Kuminga with a qualification price of 7.9 million, making him a restricted free agent. In this way, the Warriors have the priority signing rights of Kumingga, and they can match any offer Kumingga received! But embarrassingly and disgustingly, Kumingga has not received any offer so far. The Warriors had to always leave enough salary space to match Kumingga's offer, so this made the Warriors still remain unchanged.

According to previous reports, 39-year-old champion center Al Horford is almost certain to join the Warriors, and they are also very likely to sign Fuli Melton back. But what is puzzling is that these two contracts seem to be signed in 8 or 10% of the past ten times have not been reached yet. From the current point of view, what is left for everyone is probably not only waiting! And while we were waiting, we were very surprised to receive an incredible news: the Warriors are interested in free agent Ben Simmons.

Recently, famous reporter Brett Siegel wrote an article about the recent situation of the free market. In addition to Brogdon, Trey Lairs and Payton Jr., who have been reported previously, may become the Warriors' free agent market targets this summer, two interesting names have been mentioned two days before the NBA Summer United: Seth Curry and Ben Simmons.

It is reported that Curry will not return to the Hornets, and he has always hoped to fight side by side with his brother Stephen Curry. As for the Warriors considering introducing Ben Simmons, this is really unbelievable! After all, the 2016 No. 1 pick has been known for his poor shooting throughout his career. If the Warriors really want to introduce Ben Simmons when they have a poor shooting shooting situation, will their basket be "beat" by these two brothers?

This summer, Ben Simmons' contract with the Clippers expired and became a full free agent. According to previous reports, Ben Simmons is not expected to return to the Clippers, and he is also more inclined to sign with teams with special transactions because he does not want to only get a basic salary next season. It is reported that Ben Simmons' salary in the past four seasons has been US$147.5 million, but he has only played in 108 games, with an average income of US$1.36 million. This is probably the fundamental reason why Ben Simmons doesn't want to sign a new boss with a basic salary, because he can earn a basic salary contract in the past two or three games.

So, if Ben Simmons, who can't shoot, joins the Warriors, what can he bring to the team? Although his shooting has been criticized and even made people hate him, Benxi can still do a lot of things if he puts aside his shooting! He can provide the Warriors with everything they need, including height, rebounds and organizational abilities besides Curry. Therefore, this is probably the main reason why the Warriors are interested in Ben Simmons.

So, is it really possible for the Warriors to sign Ben Simmons in the free market next? We have no way to know at this moment! What is just a curious thing is that if Zhu Meng and Benxi, who can't shoot at the same time, would the scene be particularly explosive? I can't imagine that the opponents all went to guard against the other three Warriors and let go of the scene of the dream and Benxi at the same time. Haha, I hope this hypothesis won’t happen even if it doesn’t hold true! I hope Dunleavy can bring surprises to Warriors fans in the next step! Come on, Warriors! We are all waiting for your first signing this summer.
