Can the Warriors' owners resist the pressure of the luxury tax and leave behind last season's championship-winning lineup? If so, who should be traded? Will the Warriors still be able to defend their title next season when the West's powerhouse lineup is almost complete? These questions, since the Warriors won the title, has been the problem they need to solve at the moment.

Warriors from 2019 for the mountain to stop, to 2020's atrophy and 2021's momentum, and then 2022 to rise again! The Warriors have gone through a sinking, two years of silence, did not wear out the heart of the veterans for the pursuit of the championship, the same did not wear out the heart of Curry, for the championship and MVP fight for the heart. After 3 years of hard work, once again into the finals, the championship, but also can create the myth of 5 years 3 crowns again?

The Warriors have faced a loss of talent since winning the championship, and it's all because of a word of money, not because the Warriors unloaded, but because the players hit the price, the Warriors can't afford to renew their contracts, their current salary pressure, has affected the formation of the team's lineup, the team's Big Three almost locked up payroll space, and Poole and Wiggins to the time of the renewal.

Their playoff performance is remarkable, Wiggins ruled the offensive and defensive ends, recently Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, interviewed by the media, once again praised Wiggins, Kerr said: "During the finals, Wiggins will play his role to the maximum, and throughout the playoffs have performed well. He can grab rebounds and defend the best player on the opposite side of the floor. He and the Warriors are a perfect fit, we're excited about getting him, he's happy here, and I'm excited to coach him.

With this statement, Kerr has pretty much announced that Wiggins will still be on the team next season and no trades will be made for him.

Do you want to trade Poole for salary pressure?

The team's reporter, Flattery, broke the news on a podcast earlier, saying, "The Warriors don't have any idea of letting Poole go right now, the Warriors are in a transition period at this stage, and they'll do everything they can to keep Poole."

Obviously the Warriors also have no intention of trading Poole, Poole is now "child labor" wages, but his playoff performance, has proved that he can replace Curry or Thompson in any of the future, let him take a pay cut is not realistic, and the NBA league has a clear rule, "the value of the player must be in line with market value, based on a combination of factors such as on-court performance to determine the salary package, or will be penalized."

Some experts predict that Poole's contract signed next season will likely reach $110 million for three years. So, in this way, Wiggins and Poole after the contract extension, the total salary of the Warriors next year, will reach $222 million, plus the luxury tax, I'm afraid to break through $560 million in spending! And the owner's budget is only $400 million, so it is bound to do to the core of the heterosexuals.

It is not a secret that Dream Chaser Green wants a top salary contract, and in order to maximize his own interests, Green is also repeatedly in public, to the Warriors dynasty of cornerstone type players, to pressure the Warriors senior.

The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. Warriors now also lack a space-type center, if you can use Green, get such a star, the Warriors almost no no reason to disagree.

According to sources, the Warriors have been in contact with the Pistons, the Pacers management, is making every effort to facilitate a big three-way deal involving five people, if the negotiations go well, the deal is expected to be reached in the near future, the specific possible trade program for

The Warriors send: Dream Green, 2026 first-round pick, to get Turner.

Pistons send: Lillian Hayes, 2025 first-round pick to get Dream catcher Green.

The Pacers send: Turner; get Hayes, 2025 and 2026 first-round picks.

If this deal is reached, then the Warriors' spending is enough to keep within $400 million, and the salary problem is enough to solve, while the team's strength is not rising but falling.

Turner has always been a player the Warriors would like to get. In terms of ability, he is a combination of Aden and Robert, he has Aden's mid-range shooting and also Robert's defense.

On the offensive end, he can open up space for the team with his excellent mobility, is a pie-eating master, and has a good outside three-point ability; on the defensive end, he is very good at protecting the inside, especially Turner's rim protection and cap ability, he was twice elected the league cap king, with a career average of 2.3 caps, very adaptable to today's small-ball era.

His combination with Curry could be a great tool for the Warriors on the offensive end. The interior twin towers of Rooney and Turner are enough to make the Warriors' interior line, a top presence in the league. The Warriors also have a great opportunity to defend their title successfully and the triple crown dynasty is enough to look forward to.

The deal is also relatively friendly to the Pistons. Green is from Saginaw and also played college basketball at Michigan State, Green and his mother were both Pistons fans, and Green's idol, Ben Wallace, came from the Pistons.

Green has repeatedly said in interviews that he wants to return to his hometown to play, after all, the common dream of many NBA stars is to play for their hometown and finally return to their roots.

The Pistons are not yet capable of competing for a championship, and although Cunningham, a first-round pick, has shown enough versatility with a very high ball IQ and the assistance of Sadie Bey and Bailey, the Pistons lack a true leader, not only in terms of individual ability but also mentally.

Green is just right to carry that load, and he is an outstanding locker room leader. He can be a mentor to the likes of Case Cunningham, Lillian Hayes, Marvin Bailey III, Sadie Bey, Isaiah Stewart, Hayden Iva and Jayne Durham. His high ball movement, organizational skills, defensive versatility and intensity can be an advantage for the Pistons, and the Pistons will be able to satisfy his dream of a top salary, which is considered a blessing for all.

The Pacers will undoubtedly be the big winners, they have drafted their future building block Halliburton, Turner is no longer in their future, and being able to trade him for a first round pick and potential rookie is exactly what they need.

Lillian Hayes is a 2020 first round #7 pick, a tall guard with outstanding physical attributes, a tough defensive player and good scoring ability, totally worthy of the Pacers.

Compared to the two first rounds given by the Lakers, but also to accept not in the future of Willow, obviously this deal, so they benefit more.

The comprehensive look, this is a win-win deal, enough to let the four sides benefit, with a strong interoperability.
