The past season for the Warriors is extremely fantastic, they shattered the general doubts of the outside world, in the sound of wild doubts to regain the top of the honor. However, they are currently facing "happy troubles", Wiggins, Poole and Green are about to receive contract extensions. With Wiggins' performance in this year's playoffs, he undoubtedly deserves a top salary contract, Poole is worth at least $25 million a year, and Green, as the team's champion, the Warriors will have to pay him $30 million a year anyway. But obviously, the Warriors can't afford to keep all three on the roster at the same time, after all, they still have Curry and Thompson's big contracts.

In addition, the Warriors lost a number of important rotations such as Patton Jr, Helical, Anderson and Porter after winning the title, but also got Divergence and Green Jr. The Warriors have enough immediate power on the wings, in contrast, the interior remains unchanged, Rooney plus a long-term on-call Wise man. Recently, the U.S. media "NBA analysis network" basketball reporter James Peary that the Warriors can discuss a deal with the Knight, Wiggins sent back to Cleveland, and thus use Wiggins this as far as possible to get some draft picks compensation, and the specific content of the deal is as follows: Cleveland Knight sent: Kevin Love, a 2024 first-round swap right, a 2028 first-round swap The Cleveland Cavaliers send: Kevin Love, a 2024 first-round swap, a 2028 first-round swap and a 2029 first-round pick; the Golden State Warriors send: Wiggins. So, if this deal goes through, what changes will it bring to both teams?

As we all know, the Cavaliers packaged Markkaa, Millstone, Aback, and three unprotected first-round picks and two first-round swap rights from the Jazz for Mitchell earlier this month. After the deal, the Cavaliers have two All-Star guards in the back court, Garland and Mitchell, and in the interior, the Cavaliers also have Allen and Mosley sitting. Only on the wings there are certain flaws, Osman although in the last two years to make some progress, and hustle, but in the shooting and defense do not have a first-class level. Rook is also a wing for the Cavaliers, but his shooting ability and defensive level are not enough to be trusted. It can be said that the arrival of Wiggins can perfectly solve the Knight's deficiency in offense and defense at the three position. Not only can Wiggins help the Cavaliers on both the offensive and defensive ends, he has the playoff experience that the Cavaliers lack. Wiggins' ability to switch defenses can weaken Mitchell's deficiencies on defense, and the Knights' lineup can do both offense and defense.

For the Warriors, why are they willing to send away the team's second scoring point as well as the defensive powerhouse? Thompson after the off-season recovery, the new season will certainly find themselves in the defensive end, and Kunming is also worthy of Kerr trust, the Warriors in the wing options are also very rich. And Love has 3-point and rebounding ability, experience in the interior, and his contract is also expiring next summer. However, but considering Love's age, in next summer, the Warriors can choose a base salary contract to stay, so that the Warriors have space to renew Poole and Green. Currently, Love has some vague shades of his peak offensively, and his shooting ability complements the Warriors' system. In addition, the Warriors received 2 first-round swap rights and a first-round pick in the deal, which will help the team tremendously in drafting newcomers in the future.

In a nutshell, once the 4-for-1 deal is finalized, the Cavaliers will become the favorite to win the championship next season, when they have strong players from the No. 1 to No. 5 positions, and have the ability to compete with the Bucks, Celtics and Bucks. And the Warriors have a second option inside, Love can get the perfect play under Kerr's small-ball system, and the Warriors have some reinforcement inside, and room

To renew important players. The company's main goal is to get the best out of the market.
