The media lists six players that the Warriors can sign this summer! Daluo, Paul and Adams are on the list

Eddie Bitar, a columnist of the famous sports media Fadeaway world, expressed his views on the future trends of the Golden State Warriors, and listed six players that the Warriors can sign this summer, including Daluo, Paul, Adams, etc. The Warriors lost to the Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs this year, and this result exposed the team a lot of problems. Regardless of whether Curry is injured or not, they are completely suppressed by younger teams with deeper lineups and stronger desire to win in terms of physical fitness, shooting ability and tactical execution. With the cruel reality in front of us, the Warriors' dynasty era seems to be in crisis.

Although Curry still has the level of a top player, time is unforgiving. As Butler grows older, his condition will naturally slowly decline. If Green is not careful on the court, he may affect the team due to discipline issues. Moreover, the Warriors' salary structure is deeply under the second-level salary cap, which greatly limits the team's flexibility in personnel adjustment and the fault tolerance rate has become lower.

Therefore, the team management must think carefully about how to maximize the surplus value from the existing core team of the championship. This means that some difficult decisions may be made. For example, even if Kuminga still wins back some value, but is inconsistent with the team's short-term goal of competing for the championship, you can consider sending it away.

For this reason, Eddie Bitar listed six veterans as the Warriors' signing target this summer. He felt that these players could help the Warriors, and while Curry was still there, he would try his best to win the fifth championship in team history.

The first one is Brooke Lopez. In the 2024-25 season, he performed consistently with the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, and shot up to 50.9%. He is strong on both ends of the offense and defense, and can open up space and protect the basket. He is a powerful helper for any team. And, his $23 million contract is about to expire, and the Warriors can completely consider signing him in the free market.

Clint Capela is also a good choice. He has been playing consistently with the Hawks, averaging 8.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season. The Warriors have always lacked hardness in the interior, and there are not many opportunities for second offense. Capela's defense and rebounding ability can solve these problems. His $22.3 million contract is about to expire, and the Warriors will not have too much financial pressure.

Teus Jones performed stably this season, averaging 10.2 points per game in 2024-25, sending 5.3 assists, shooting 44.8% from the field, and having few turnovers and efficient passes. It is very suitable to lead the Warriors' second team. His one-year $3 million contract with the Phoenix Suns has expired, and the Warriors sign him is very cost-effective and can also relieve Curry's pressure.

and Luke Kennard, who shoots very accurately, averages 8.9 points per game in the 2024-25 season, shooting percentage of 47.8%, and three-point shooting percentage of up to 43.3%. It can effectively take away the defenders and create space for the Warriors' offense. His $9.25 million contract expires and the Warriors can pursue him, which adds a reliable outside threat to the team. Chris Paul, 40, averaged 8.8 points and 7.4 assists per game while playing for the Spurs in 2024-25, with leadership and experience being precious to the team who want to win the championship. His one-year contract of $10.46 million expires, and if the Warriors want to add experience and ball control on the bench, they can consider signing Paul again; this may also be the last chance for Paul to hit the NBA championship.

Finally, Steven Adams performed well with the Houston Rockets, especially when he played against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, with excellent defense and rebounding. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 3.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and had good physical fitness and tough playing, which is what the Warriors' inside needs. His $12.6 million contract expires, and the Warriors can consider attracting him to strengthen the inside defense. The media lists these six players for the Warriors to choose, which is quite appropriate. The Warriors currently have many problems. The interior has always been a big problem. In the series against the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves were in the interior, but the Warriors had no choice. Like Lopez, Capela, and Adams, they can all help the team in the interior. Lopez can protect the basket and shoot and open up space. Capela has good rebounding and Adams is tough enough. With them in the inside, the Warriors will definitely improve a lot in defense and rebounding.

The team's back line and bench depth also have problems. When Curry was not around, the team's offense was a bit messy. Tyame Jones can sort out the offense of the second team so that the team can keep the offense smooth while Curry rests. Paul is experienced and if he can come back, he can control the rhythm of the game at critical moments.

Lopez does not have enough ball rights in the Bucks, but when he comes to the Warriors with Curry, there may be more easy scoring opportunities, so he can play better data.

Of course, if the Warriors want to sign these players, they also have to consider salary issues. However, if you can sign these veterans at a reasonable price, you may have a chance to win the championship again under Curry's leadership.
