Not just Horford! Another big-name player is willing to sign the Warriors, just waiting for the Kumingga problem to be solved

During this offseason, Golden State Warriors fans were very upset.

This summer, the Warriors are the most difficult team in terms of strengthening among all the playoff levels in the league. Teams like the Rockets, Nuggets, Clippers, Eastern Bucks, etc., started a vigorous arms race to strengthen the arms race, but the Warriors management did not complete any moves this offseason.

The Warriors not only failed to complete any signing and transactions, but even lost center Looney, causing the team's combat power to suffer a great loss.

At the same time, the Warriors are also facing one of the most troublesome problems, that is, the renewal of forward Kumingga. Two or three months have passed, and the Warriors still have not settled Kumingga's contract renewal, which has prevented the Warriors from completing any signing. According to the Warriors' existing salary conditions, they must first solve the problem of Kumingga before signing for free agents.

The Warriors have now agreed to join two players, one is old center Horford and the other is defender Melton. Both of these people are basically sure to come to the Warriors, and as long as Kumingga's problem is solved, the signing can be completed.

On August 21, for Warriors fans, there was another good news, that is, another big-name player in the free market, Brogden, also plans to join the Warriors.

According to reporter Ary, sources revealed that free agent Brogden is expected to sign the Warriors.

According to Jake Fischer, a famous reporter from "Open-Air Stand", Brogdon has the possibility of joining the Warriors, but he has to wait for the Kumingga problem to be solved.

Brogden is 32 years old. Last season, he played 24 games for the Wizards, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, shooting percentage of 43.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 28.6%, and free throw percentage of 88.0%.

Brogden was at his peak, both fame and strength were a very high-ranking existence in the league. But this summer, he has not been able to get a satisfactory contract. The main reason is that Brogden's strength has declined severely as he grows older and has more injuries.

Some Warriors fans are not optimistic about Brogdon. This view believes that Brogdon is too fragile. For a team like the Warriors, it will increase the team's injury risk. Even if there is oil in the fuel tank, it may not be suitable for the Warriors today. Moreover, the Warriors already have seven or eight defenders, which is enough to play two tables of mahjong.

Some fans also think Brogdon is a good addition. He plays as a substitute, as long as he can play passes and controls, and shares some pressure on holding the ball to Curry. A veteran with a basic salary does not ask him to bring qualitative changes to the team.

The author believes that if Brogdon can come to the Warriors, it is still worth looking forward to. The veteran of the golf club wants to fight for the last high-quality contract in his career. The Warriors are definitely a very good choice. The former Otto Porter, Divincenzon and Belica are all good cases. Cole did a good job in rotation and basically did not consume too much players.

Besides, Brogdon at this price is also quite cost-effective. The Warriors have many injuries, and Curry's playing time is basically strictly limited, so there are many opportunities for defenders. Kerr also likes scientific research lineup. Maybe Brogdon can play good data with the Warriors, and successfully gilded, and finally go to other teams to get a middle class.

Of course, all this can only be achieved after Kumingga and the Warriors make concessions and the two sides finally reach an agreement. As for whether Kumingga will sign with the Warriors or whether the Warriors will trade him, it is still unknown at the moment.

The Warriors' management is also quite difficult now. Kumingga's problem is like a mountain, standing in front of the team, causing the Warriors to be restrained and do nothing in the free market and trading market. I hope both sides can resolve this issue as soon as possible.

The new season is about to begin. If the Warriors do not take action, it will probably be too late.
