真正的挑戰在明年夏天 勇士老闆坦言想將Wiggins和Poole都留下並不容易

金州勇士剛剛獲得總冠軍當然也希望在明年賽季再次衛冕成功，然而他們已經失去了一些重要的自由球員，雖然主力核心仍在陣中，但最大挑戰可能是一年之後。
今年夏天這還不是問題，勇士只需要找到適合的拼圖依舊保有爭冠實力，但Andrew Wiggins和Jordan Poole都將在一年後成為自由球員，就連勇士老闆都沒有把握將兩人都留下來。

引用勇士老闆Joe Lacob：“我們有時間做這些事情，“這一切都不著急。我相信今年夏天會有一些討論，但我們目前還沒有和他們談過。”

“他們是兩個20多歲的偉大球員，我們很想留住他們，但是當你有一支像我們這樣的球隊時，這將成為未來的問題。有3個已經和我們在一起很長時間的人，高薪階級的Steph、Klay和Draymond。你還有這2個將要加入這個行列的人，Wiggins現在已經在領高薪並且想留下，Poole也顯然該賺更多的錢。

Wiggins在季後賽中為球隊發揮了至關重要的作用，可以說是他們在總決賽中最好的全能球員，他是2023年夏天的完全自由球員。至於明年成為受限自由球員的Poole在今年打出生涯年，如果他下賽季繼續表現出色肯定會獲得豐厚的回報。


一支球隊要擁有5個高薪球員很不容易，Lacob毫不掩飾的說出冷酷事實，儘管勇士球迷現在可能不想聽到這些話。

引用“這會很困難，我不會坐在這裡對粉絲們撒謊。很難搞清楚明年夏天我們會做什麼，但今年的我們會很好，有些人可能會認為因為Payton和幾個人沒有回來總會有些變化。昨天是昨天，未來就是未來，今年我們將擁有一支出色的球隊。

引用“We have time to do those things,” Warriors owner Joe Lacob said in an interview with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic. “There’s no rush on all that. I’m sure there will be some discussions this summer. But we haven’t talked to them.”

“They are two great players in their 20s,” Lacob said. “We’d love to retain them. But this becomes the problem going forward when you have a team like ours where you’ve got three guys that have been with us for a long time, make a lot of money, huge salaries — Steph, Klay and Draymond. You’ve got these two guys who will be getting into – well, [Wiggins] already is in big salary mode and wants to stay there. And [Poole] is going to be clearly making a lot more money.

引用“It’s going to be difficult,” Lacob said. “I’m not going to sit here and lie to the fan base. It’s going to be really difficult to figure out what we’ll do next summer. This year, we’re good. I would call this as running it back. Some people may think because Payton and a couple people are not back — there’s always going to be some change. Yesterday is yesterday, the future is the future. We think we’re going to have a great team this year.
