Munch is not interested in the first round, are the Warriors really greedy?

According to media reports, according to sources, the Kings have restarted negotiations with the Warriors on the Kumingga deal; although no significant progress has been made, the Kings management is still willing to provide a three-year, $63 million contract and give out the bargaining chips to protect the first-round draft pick in Monk and 2030 Lotto. But the Warriors were not interested, mainly because Monk's last year's contract was $21.5 million player option, and he was worried that he would not be able to integrate well into the Warriors' system. Sources also revealed that even if the Warriors really take over Monk, they will seek other ways to trade it out.

In this way, some fans think that the Warriors are insatiable and don’t want the right combat power like Monk? He can play the role of Poole in the past, as the core of the substitute lineup to support the attack in the connection section, and he is also picky.

, is this true? In fact, the Warriors' management's reasons are still tenable.

Last season, Monk averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.5%. Although the scoring output is good and he can become the team's sixth man, his playing style is different from Poole in the past. Let's say so? Poole has the shadow of Curry, and he can switch at will if there is a ball or no ball, and his shooting ability is excellent. Even if Curry is not present, Poole can still maintain good offensive output with the support of the system and his own abilities.

But Monk's shooting efficiency is average and he relies more on the pick-and-roll of the big center. The catching three-pointer after running without the ball is not his normal offensive rhythm; furthermore, Monk is the second ball holder in the Kings, and he is more greedy for the ball, and the Warriors may face a decline in the ball. After all, Curry and Butler need the ball rights, and Green's arc top support also occupies a lot of ball rights. How much time does Monk have to hold the ball? When the ball rights are not enough and your shooting level is average, how can you maintain the offensive output last season? This is a big problem.

Or, Green held the ball on the top of the arc for a long time, and Monk finally ran out of the position and took the ball and shot a three-pointer. Isn't this a bit embarrassing?

Therefore, the concerns of the Warriors management are not unreasonable.

Also, the option of Monk's last year's contract is a player with an annual salary of more than 20 million yuan, which will seriously hinder the operation of the Warriors in the summer of 2027, which involves whether the Warriors' dynasty can be continued. At that time, there were many big fish in the free market, with super insiders like Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and Davis everywhere. Curry, Butler and Green were also facing retirement, and the Warriors had to transition to the next era. As a team with the first market value, it naturally needs superstars to stabilize their performance, so that box office revenue and market value will not decline.

Therefore, this is the biggest task for the Warriors after two seasons. In addition to helping Curry compete for the championship, you must not affect this goal. From the perspective of stars, Antetokounmpo and Jokic have won the championship and have no debt to the original team. It is understandable that they can play in the Bay Area to maximize their own interests. According to this logic, the Warriors have a chance to get one of them, because the wealthy Lakers already have Doncic, and then sign Antetokounmpo or Jokic, how can other teams play?

Of course, the Warriors' offseason reinforcement goal is defense in the backcourt and shooting in the frontcourt. The Kings have chips like Ellis and Murray, but they just don't want to take action. As a player who is stronger than defense, Monk is not in line with the Warriors' reinforcement goals, and it is normal for the management to be indifferent to him; if you really want Kumingga, you have to show some sincere chips and don't play with false ones.

This team has been playing abstraction, and we don’t understand it very much. We won DeRozan and Raven, and wanted Kumingga and Westbrook. What logic is this?

Strive to get Kumingga, and the finale will be soon. We have to be patient and wait a little longer.
