Because they are the defending champions, the competition intensity is much higher than that of other teams, so Deng Fang has to take injuries into consideration.
Although Deng Fang can treat injured players, if it is a serious injury, it is still necessary to rest for a few days.
Even if he could play immediately, Deng Fang would not do that often!
That would be too conspicuous!
It would be troublesome if it really made people suspicious.
What's more, curing a disease requires a lot of ability points, and even Deng Fang can't stand it if he does it often!
But Deng Fang can't let go of a lot of water in the regular season!
Why?
Because Deng Fang wants Curry to win the MVP!
Re-elected MVP!
As long as I'm here, the MVP belongs to Curry!
No one else can take it away!
But in order to win the regular season MVP, the Warriors' record must be ranked first!
There is more than one person competing with Curry for MVP next season!
The Bulls' Rose, the Mavericks' Nowitzki, and even the Heat's James are all strong contenders for the MVP trophy.
Especially Rose, his performance will be very good next season. It will not be easy to suppress him!
And as the defending champion, the Warriors will have much greater pressure than these teams!
So the Warriors need reinforcements!
Lots of enhancements!
Targeted reinforcement!
Deng Fang needs to form a strong substitute lineup to give the main players more rest time.
Deng Fang also needs to find a good substitute for Lagabel, or even a player who can replace Lagabel in the starting position!
This lineup not only needs to have the best record in the league during the regular season, but also needs to be able to deal with the Mavericks in the Western Conference and defeat the Heat in the finals!
This is no simple task!
Deng Fang knows many good players, and the Warriors also have a lot of resources at their disposal.
But many people can’t trade!
Because the system does not allow it!
The first is that players from teams that make the playoffs next season cannot be traded!
This regulation excludes most capable players.
Such as Shane.
Battier is a very suitable player. Not only is he good at defense, he is a defensive expert, and he is also very good at shooting three-pointers on the offensive end!
Battier can defend both defenders and forwards.
If you play a small-ball lineup, it's no problem to let Battier play the fourth position!
More importantly, Battier has a gentle and gentle personality, is very decent in doing things, and is a very good locker room leader!
It would be great if we could get Shane here.
Battier was with the Rockets last season and will be with the Rockets for most of next season.
But historically, Battier was traded to the Grizzlies in the second half of next season.
And the Grizzlies made the playoffs!
So Battier cannot be traded.
Players like this include Peja, Carter and Richardson.
Peja is a sharpshooter, but he is a bit old and suffers from many injuries.
But with Deng Fang here, none of this is a problem.
Although Peja's defense is average, if his injuries are cured and he and Curry are allowed to play without the ball together, the effect will be much better than Belinelli!
The Warriors' off-ball tactics are a killer!
When the opponent goes to the twin towers, or when you are chasing points, use it, and the effect is often surprisingly good!
But like Battier, Peja cannot be traded.
Peja is now a player for the Hornets. Deng Fang clearly remembers that Peja was traded away after playing only a few games this season.
Peja was first traded to the Raptors and then to the Mavericks.
The Raptors won't make the playoffs next season, but the Mavericks are very strong!
Historically, the Mavericks in the 10-11 season reached the finals, defeated the Heat's Big Three, and finally won the championship!
Peja also played his role, scoring a total of 36 points against Ron Artest's defense in Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers.
Jia made 6 of 6 three-pointers, helping the team sweep the Lakers!
The system does not allow Deng Fang to trade such a player!
Such players include Richardson and Carter.
Richardson's three-pointers are very accurate and Carter's personal ability is very strong. Both of them are very suitable for the Warriors.
Richardson spent last season with the Suns and was traded to the Magic in the middle of next season, swapping teams with Carter.
The Suns played very poorly in the 10-11 season and failed to make the playoffs, but the Magic did!
So neither Carter nor Richardson can be traded.
In addition, Love is also untradeable.
Most fans are very familiar with Love.
Love is a power forward, is very accurate in three-pointers, and is also a great rebounder. Now he is on a rookie contract, so it is very suitable for him to be traded to play the fifth position in a small-ball lineup.
However, this offseason, the Timberwolves sent star Al Jefferson to the Jazz to correct Love.
Suddenly Love became the star player of the Timberwolves.
Although the Timberwolves are a bad team and cannot make the playoffs, the star of a team cannot be traded.
All players on the strong team cannot move, including the star players on the weak team!
Therefore, Deng Fang's operating space is not large.
The only ones Deng Fang can trade are role players from weak teams.
Although there were many restrictions, Deng Fang still didn't care.
We have traveled through time!
We are senior fans!
If it’s not difficult, it’s boring!
Deng Fang is very willing to accept such a challenge!
As the defending champion, the Warriors' difficulties next season will definitely be much greater than this past season.
So Deng Fang also made preparations in advance.
Hayward is the first step, and Yi Jianlian is the second step.
There are still several players that Deng Fang likes that need to be traded.
The reason why he did not take action during the previous period was because Deng Fang was not in a hurry and could not be in a hurry.
The biggest fish this summer is James. Before the movement of this big fish is confirmed, many teams will not act rashly.
Only when James's whereabouts is decided will other teams take action on second-tier stars.
As for the role players, there is no need to worry!
Even if Deng Fang wanted to trade, not many teams would cooperate.
Besides, Deng Fang was not in a hurry.
The stars cannot move, and the role players are not in a hurry!
James's whereabouts were certain, and the teams immediately started taking action.
Many player transactions and signings have been confirmed.
Carlos Boozer signed a five-year contract worth $80 million with the Chicago Bulls as a free agent.
This is still a good addition to the Bulls' frontcourt.
But Deng Fang was not interested in Boozer.
Boozer is not young, and he is a traditional fourth position, so trading him will not be of much use.
In fact, it was the Heat who made the biggest move.
After the Heat finalized the contracts of the Big Three, they quickly signed many role players.
No matter how powerful the Big Three are, they still have to gather five people to play, right?
What's more, the Big Three can't play the whole game!
Especially when James and Wade are on the court at the same time, the Heat's space on the court is a big problem.
James is not very good at shooting three-pointers, and Wade is even worse at shooting three-pointers, and both of them need the ball.
