110-121, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves away, lost four consecutive games, and were eliminated 1-4 in a big score. There is no good summary of this game, but I can't beat it. I can't beat it simply. Without Curry, the gap between the strength of the two sides is too big. The Timberwolves didn't even exert much force, and the Warriors fell out. In the face of absolute strength, Cole can do nothing.

Looking back at the Warriors this season, the ups and downs were like a roller coaster. I thought I could not enter the playoffs. Butler's arrival changed everything and allowed the team to see the possibility of a championship. But in the end, because of Curry's injury, I couldn't go further. This is life, and this season is destined not to belong to you.

Warriors players can have a holiday, but the management's work has just begun. The team must prepare for next season. The Warriors' goal is always the championship. Currently, the 9 Warriors have contracts, and Curry, Butler and Green are all in the three core cores.

There are four people whose contracts expire, Kumingga, Payton, Looney, and Spencer, among which Payton and Looney can stay. The contracts of the two are not expensive, and they are familiar with the Warriors' style of playing, and Cole also likes them, and the transaction value is not very high. Spencer can go or stay, but it cannot affect the overall situation.

But it is hard to say about Kumingga. His stay or not largely determines the Warriors' salary structure. Currently, there are four ways for Kumingga: signing a new contract; signing a qualification quotation; signing and switching to other teams; other teams initiate invitation contracts, and the Warriors match or mismatch.

How to operate it depends on the discussions of the management, Cole, Curry, Green and others.

In addition, the Warriors have good assets in the future, and they have the vast majority of their own draft picks in the future. They can take up 4 first rounds and three swaps, so they can pursue Antetokounmpo. If Antetokounmpo can be brought, the Warriors will definitely be a favorite to compete for the championship, and it depends on how the management makes a decision.
