Perkins: The era of dream-chasing five is no longer working, the Warriors must make up for their strength

May 16th News Today, Perkins talked about the Warriors' future in the show "NBACountdown".

Perkins said: "Let me tell you what doesn't work for them anymore. The Death Five Small Team, letting Dream-Chasing play centers are over. They need a real big guy, and they have to have a big guy. Dream-Chasing is completely exposed, especially when Curry is not on the court. I don't care that he can score 15 to 20 points occasionally. Cole says he is the best defender he has ever met. Come on. I think he is lying because he has been teammates with Rodman and Duncan. When Dream-Chasing plays, Randle shoots more than 50% from the field, and that's the problem. The Warriors need a A big guy who can contribute a stable double-double every night."

Then Perkins said: "Look at the other teams in the league, look at the teams that are still in the playoffs. The Pacers have Turner, the Knicks have Carl Anthony Towns, the Nuggets have Jokic, and the Thunder have Homegren. You need a player who can create threats in the inside, someone who can contribute 15 points and 12 rebounds per game, and can support the defensive system. They need athleticism. That dead five small lineup is outdated. It's not disrespectful to dream chase, but when it comes to protecting the penalty area, he's really out of his mind."
