30 Days 30 Team Warriors: Curry s time is gone forever

The Warriors' farce finally ended: Kumingga and his agent Aaron Turner had a fight for 75 million for three years, and finally continued for 48.5 million for two years.

is slightly higher, but before the All-Star in 2026, Kumingga is likely to be traded: this salary is likely to be to match future trading objects.

Even if he doesn't leave next season, it's basically a one-year contract - by the way, his agent Aaron Turner had messed up Oladeep's contract before - finally, the Warriors can let go of their work.

Seth Curry will come: the paper benefits he can provide, the rest of the Warriors can do: shoot his brother and Hilde, make mistakes Melton, and deal with the ball. From a purely utilitarian perspective, it would be better for the Warriors to find a forward line against the lineup.

But he is here, the Warriors probably won't be as injured as last season, and they will use Santos and Waters. Moreover, the brothers' relationship and training attitude can promote the chemistry of the locker room - those who have seen their activities in the summer understand.

Horford will come: He can provide Horford with space, defensive experience and support that Looney cannot provide, and he can basically do most of the work of chasing dreams when he is on the same field with Jimmy. But age is probably not back-to-back. Coach Stevens said that the Celtics still want to keep Horford, but Horford is willing to come to the Warriors.

So the Warriors had another old but smart veteran.

What does Horford like to see the Warriors? ——Are there many players who are as old and smart as him?

The Warriors were spending three months of fantasy before Curry was injured on May 6, 2025.

Push forward three months, on February 6, 2025, the Warriors lost 25 wins and 26 losses, tenth in the West.

Two days later, Jimmy Butler started for the Warriors. Since then, the Warriors have ended the regular season with 23 wins and 8 losses and even become fifth in the Western Conference for a week.

Playoffs, the Warriors beat the Rockets, and the seventh time in NBA history, even led the Timberwolves 1-0 when Curry was injured.

G Rockets, losing to the Timberwolves, the possibility and limits of the Warriors are revealed.

The only troublesome thing in the regular season is probably health. As long as they are healthy, they have a natural winning combination: last season Curry + Boger + Moody + Jimmy + the five-man who chased dreams for 211 minutes, +19 every 100 rounds.

It's OK to not even have Curry: Jimmy + Dream Chasing + Moody/Hilder + Boger + Post, you can easily beat your opponents in the regular season.

Next season, roughly:

Curry/Melton/Sess

Boger/Hilder/Peton Jr.

Jimmy/Moody

Dream Chasing/Kuminga

Horford/Post

Boger can play the No. 1 position in the second team, Moody can play the No. 2 position in the second team, and Dream Chasing can play the No. 5 position in the second team.

The problem is when the playoffs are tough.

- Jimmy Butler can do many things by being experienced and cunning (the Warriors score second in the playoffs, rebound first, assist first, free throw first), and even rely on off-ball to make up for his problem of not shooting three-pointers, but in 2020 and 2023, it is difficult to support the entire series as a ball holder.

- Podjemsky can be the second team ball holder, the small think tank around Curry and Jimmy, but he can't expect him to attack.

- Moody can make up for his talent by working hard, running and fixed-point baskets: In March 2025, before Moody tore the Bucks' thumb ligament, he partnered with Jimmy: averaged 5 three-pointers per game, shooting percentage of 38%. When he was injured and partnered with Jimmy: his three-point rate was 30%... But: he couldn't expect him to fight against the playoffs forward group (Rockets, Timberwolves).

- Kumingga can hold the ball and eat misaligned scores in open occasions, but don't expect anything else.

—Hilde can shoot three points.

- The new Al Horford can do anything: it has a close-range feel, can shoot mid-range, can shoot long shots, passes, can defend the front line, and can shoot three-pointers. He can pass the ball, end the attack at the basket, shoot into the open basket, and play one or two simple and effective moves to score when passing the ball in time + the right position. Both fat and thin are fat but not greasy, and thin but not hard. It has a taste, taste, oil and water, with rice, steamed buns, and as toppings, all of which are made of. It has its own taste and nourishes all things. At the limited time, he still faces a defensive shield. In the 2024 finals, Luca scored 22 points against him and Irving scored 13 points in 17. Another year before, MVP Embiid hit 39% when facing him. The year before, Giannis fought with him seven games, scored 81 points in 91 shots, with a shooting percentage of 36%.

But Horford can only make up for the global team, but cannot break the deadlock. His top three styles of scoring last season: fixed-point basket, counterattack follow-up, and pick-and-roll cuts, all relying on intelligence; his three worst things last season: free throws, frontcourt rebounds, and pressure intercepting balls: he is afraid of being strong at a young age, and he is also 39 years old.

The Warriors have many possibilities, but Curry's chief and Jimmy's deputy attacker have no choice but to be replaced.

Dream Chasing Green is a...very complex topic. What is the difference between

Marke Jackson era (2011-2014) and Cole (2014 to present)?

In the old Mark era, Curry had a season of averaging 24 points and 8.5 assists per game, but: he relied on high pick-and-roll and star singles, and relied on Curry to start with the ball, and he ranked last in the league in terms of passes per game, and his offense was stagnant; he refused to use a small ball lineup.

To put it bluntly, "Curry, everyone else sees it."

The era of Cole released Curry's no-ball threat and created three-point opportunities through multiple covers, and from then on, Curry had gravity.

Chasing dreams became the ball possession striker, activate the pass network, and since then it has become the wildest team in NBA history.  

In the past ten years, Curry+Chasing Dreams is actually the soul of the warriors. Curry's only basketball-holding/unball-free threats and gravity, electricity, light, or fire, and the infinite defense switching and ball-holding instigation of dreams are the team's engine.

From 2014 to the present, the regular season dream-chasing assists scored more than 11,000 points, sixth in the NBA - LeBron is about 14,000, and Jokic is 12,000.

Defensive rebound, 14th.

Cover, twelfth. And, the person who blocked the most three points.

Steal, the sixth dream chase. In order to win, you do anything except scoring.

Playoffs, in the past eleven years, the entire NBA range:

assists, second in chasing dreams. (LeBron No. 1)

rebounds, dream first. (LeBron 2)

blocked, dream chasing first. (LeBron 3rd)

steal, dream chasing first. (LeBron Second)

2015-24 playoffs, all NBA players were present +-.

Second Curry 907, third Clay 605, fourth LeBron 597, below Irving, Durant, Tatum, Holiday, Iguodala, Danny Green.

Holiday, Iguodala and Danny are not big stars. They can make it into the top ten because they play a lot and have the winner attributes.

2015-2024, the highest player in the NBA playoffs +--the highest player: Dream Chasing Green, 977.

2015-2025, regular season.

Chasing dreams, Curry scored 29.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists every 36 minutes, with a real shooting percentage of 66%.

The dream is gone, Curry scored 28.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists every 36 minutes, and his real shooting percentage is 59%.

2015-2025, playoffs.

Chasing dreams, Curry scored 26.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists every 36 minutes, with a real shooting percentage of 62%.

The dream is gone, Curry scored 27 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists every 36 minutes, and his real shooting percentage is 58%.

is clear at a glance.

From a technical and tactical perspective, from 2014 to the present, Chasing Dreams has been the second most important player for the Warriors. His ability to defend small and big, ability to replace defense and instigate, as well as the shooting threat of Curry's history of basketball, jointly constructed the Warriors system. Curry's shooting threat is the driving force of the Warriors' machine, and Zhu Meng is the driver of the machine.

But after 2018, the threat of no-ball and coverage of dreams gradually declined: he is increasingly in need of special arrangements.

He can't last for a long time - so the team needs to match people like Looney and Post, and even have to use TJD last season.

He has difficulty in engaging in space - so Curry's unball movement pressure becomes more and more.

In the middle of last season, Jimmy joined, and the Warriors had an extra person who could use the ball to start the pass and cut machine, and their dreams became lively: steals and blocks were close to their peak, and in March, they averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. In the first round of the playoffs, he was preventing Shin Kyung from having a headache.

But neither he nor Jimmy like to shoot three-pointers: they were not 1+1>2 in the playoffs, especially after Curry was injured.

This is the problem between dream chase, Curry and Jimmy:

Curry: The unparalleled long-range shooting threat, but his age and physical strength cannot support the game of the young man. He needs to chase dream or Jimmy play the ball, and dip the space he pulled out to the young man, or Jimmy himself will cause damage.

Jimmy can use free throw kills to embed Curry's space threat, and his cunning and toughness can make up for the Warriors' threat to hold the ball - although it is difficult for him to support the core of the ball in the entire series, he is more than enough to be a deputy, and he can serve cards instead of Zhu Meng.

Zhu Meng may have the highest defensive ball maker in the world, but his physical functions are increasingly unable to keep up with the speed of his brain: he can see it but can't do it. He could once rely on his duo with Curry to maintain his offense in order to stay on the court to play his defense; but if neither Jimmy nor him can open up space and Jimmy can play the ball on his behalf, the only value of chasing dreams is left to defense.

- Zhu Meng is facing now, a bit like the situation of Philadelphia against Ben Simmons in 2021:

"What if a person only provides defense and passes, and everyone ignores his offensive threat and defends five and four?"

This is the most interesting thing about Horford:

If Horford proves that he can have a first-hand support? And have three-pointers?

"Jimmy has done the offensive work in your dreams, and Horfords have done the defensive work, what should you do?"

Of course, if Jimmy or Zhuang Meng is willing to shoot a three-pointer in each quarter, so that the opponent will not be empty, the problem will naturally be solved - although Post and Hilde will probably be unhappy: they just rely on shooting, and good guys come to grab their jobs again.

Finally, Curry.

When Jimmy didn't come last season, Curry averaged 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, with a real shooting percentage of 60%.

When Jimmy appeared, Curry averaged 27 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, with a real shooting percentage of 65%.

In the first round of the Western Conference, facing Amen Thompsons, Curry averaged 24+6+6 per game, with a true shooting percentage of 63%.

As long as he is healthy, he can still create miracles.

The team treats aging meritorious stars in many ways.

Pat Riley would choose to send someone away: Jimmy, Wade, Shark, are you old? Send away (the same applies to Rockets vs. Big Dream).

The Suns will choose "Okay Nash, you have paid enough for this city, you can go." When the Spurs won the championship in 2014, Mr. Holt said "We will die together" - GDP is indeed, almost, until the end. The choice of

Warriors is almost the last one.

mentioned at the end of last year:

Peton Jr. said, "I don't want to waste his remaining career. I treat every game like, 'Let's fight for No. 30!'"

The Warriors team understands: every game lost is a time that Curry never returns..

Since the spring of 2025, Kumingga has been a mess, and the Warriors have also worked hard: from Jimmy to the 10th Western Conference to the Western Conference semi-finals, to Horford and Seth Curry later. The current lineup, excluding Kumingga, is basically the highest lineup in the league's average ball quotient - although the old and weak are weak, the Warriors are indeed trying to prove:

"We did not give up hope. We are working hard for Curry's time that never returns, regardless of whether this effort will have a result."
