After the opening of the free market, most of the above players also received better treatment and went to their new owners. Let us sincerely wish them.
Gary Payton ll
Nominally, he’s been with the Warriors for two years, but last season he shined, proving that his defense is enough to help the team and even get into the rotation.
Don’t forget that on the offensive end, through his excellent air-cut awareness, he brought us one following another excellent balls, and he was ambushed in the corners, releasing one cold arrow following another for the Warriors.
In addition to his good defensive performance, he made a key three-pointer in the first-round series once morest the Golden Nuggets in the playoffs.
Like Curry once told Myers, I don’t want to see him guard me on another team!
I believe Myers has worked hard, but the Warriors don’t have much experience with him, and the Warriors don’t have his bird rights. They can only watch the Trail Blazers sign him for nearly twice the price.
Juan-Toscano Anderson
Compared with GPII, which broke out last season, JTA was in the previous season. At the end of the season, he once played the worth of Little Green and became the Warriors’ excellent talent in POA, but unfortunately, this season happened to have three points better OPJ, Bjelica with a stronger organization and GPII with a better single defense level, so this season, he has no playing time.
Even when Green was out, compared to his lack of playing time, the Warriors gave rookie Kuminga the playing time, and following Kuminga’s performance, the time allocated to JTA was garbage time.
He will never forget the season he made the play-offs and the moment he got a guaranteed contract, he cried with joy and called his mother to tell him the good news.
Looking forward to seeing him get more minutes at his new owner, the Lakers.
Otto Porter Jr.
He is also one of the Warriors’ rotating roles this season. He fights hard for rebounds and has an admirable prediction of where he will land. From time to time, he sends cold arrows on the outside, which must also be a reassurance for the Warriors.
But for the Warriors, the most important thing is to find the successor of Wilt Chamberlain!
But I really want to congratulate him for regaining his popularity this season and getting him a contract with the Tyrannosaurus.
There have been several games this season, all relying on OPJ’s outbreak to win the game, thank him for his dedication.
At the same time, don’t forget that a year ago, he voluntarily took a salary cut and came to the Warriors, taking the veteran’s basic salary and re-playing his worth. He is an important player in the Warriors’ championship and I sincerely wish him his future development.
Nemanja Bjelica
The offensive end is completely the Warriors’ natural dish. Although the Warriors did not have many special performances this year, he still performed his duties faithfully and provided good organizational skills on the bench.
He is regarding to return to his hometown team in Europe next season. Although it looks like he can still play, he must have reached the end of the bench. It may be best for him to return to Europe to live his final career. decision.
Damian Lee
Indeed, it can be said that this season, his playing time is really described as a jab. Fans don’t want to see him play, and he also played very badly until Kerr pulled out the playing time at the end of the season.
But you can’t forget his contribution to the Warriors over the past few years. Since the Tyrannosaurus Championship that year, he has stayed the longest except for the Big Three + Looney. Even in the darkest 2019-20 season for the Warriors, he also Played a career year, and he was also in rotation in the 20-21 season, which was a slightly improved year.
The experience in the Warriors over the past few years has made him deeply trusted by Coach Kerr, because compared to other bench players, he can make the right things and choices on the court, but unfortunately he can’t make the ball.
Despite his poor performance this season, I have to sincerely thank him for his contributions over the past few years.
Although sad regarding the departure of this high-quality substitute, they have made the best decision for themselves following making a fortune this year. Loyalty cannot be eaten, even if San Francisco may tap them and provide them with a stage, Even the most comfortable place for them, but once more, loyalty can’t be eaten.
We have seen too many examples where role players choose to cut their salaries and continue to fight for the team, but instead miss the high point of value. As a result, they are finally eliminated from the NBA every other season due to various factors.
Perhaps leaving the team is really the best choice for these role players. After all, the Warriors still have many rookies to support, including OPJ, JTA, and Bjelica, who have to face competition with Kuminga and Wiseman. GPII also has to compete with Moody, and rookies need to play. Time to hone, and when they do come out, the team has a longer period of their control, which naturally increases their playing time.
And when the playing time is replaced by these rookies, there is no way for them to fight for better contracts. The home team Warriors will definitely try their best to renew the contract, but other teams offer more lucrative contracts, just like when Coach Popovich gave Boban Marjanovic As said, get a better deal for him.
Anyway, the old ones don’t go away, and the new ones don’t come. I hope the Warriors can dig better players in the free market, and I sincerely wish the future of the above players.
