With their key cogs locked in long term, the Golden State Warriors will focus their efforts on retaining their supporting cast, according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
根据Anthony Slater所说,锁定长期核心球员后,勇士会把注意力放在努力留住角色球员。
To that end, Slater reported Monday the Warriors "intend to pursue reunions" with Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica.
Slater报导说勇士倾向留住OPJ跟Bjelica。
Golden State's loss to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals and 15-win season in 2019-20 laid bare how much depth the team had lost through attrition or the salary cap.
勇士经历兵败多伦多及例行赛15胜的低谷后,暴露出因为薪资帽及主力缺席的阵容不足。
The injuries to Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry obviously didn't help two seasons ago, but head coach Steve Kerr used 22 players that year. Eric Paschall, Glenn Robinson III, Damion Lee, Alec Burks and Jordan Poole were the top five on the team in minutes played.
KT和Curry两年前接连受伤后,无法帮助球队,Kerr因此当年动用了22名球员。Paschall、Robinson III、Lee、Burks和JP是打最久的五名球员。
Especially as the Warriors' Big Three get deeper into their 30s, maintaining a strong roster from top to bottom is imperative toward contending for championships.
勇士三巨头都已过而立之年,为了追求冠军,保有强壮的阵容是至关重要的。
Porter averaged 8.2 points and 5.7 rebounds in 63 regular-season games for Golden State. He was equally effective in the playoffs, when he shot 40.4 percent from beyond the arc and collected 8.7 boards per 100 possessions, according to Basketball Reference.
OPJ出赛63场,场均8.2分5.7篮板。他在季后赛缴出同等效率的表现,40.4%的三分命中率,每100回合可以抢到8.7板。
Bjelica took a back seat for much of the title run, logging a total of 150 minutes in the playoffs, but he did help spell starters in physical matchups throughout the postseason. In the regular season, he continued to be an effective floor-spacing big as he shot 36.2 percent from beyond the arc.
查哥就比较常温板凳了,但季后赛仍然出赛150分钟。他能在球队需要身体抗衡的时候挺身而出。例行赛中,他身为一个大个子球员,也缴出36.2%的三分命中率。
ESPN's Bobby Marks noted how the cost of running it back for the Warriors could total $430 million between payroll and luxury tax penalties.
ESPN的Marks指出勇士的薪资+奢侈税可能高达430M镁。
The fates of Porter and Bjelica likely won't make or break Golden State's championship hopes in 2022-23, but it will send a message about ownership's continued willingness to chase success at any cost.
OPJ跟查哥可能不致于左右勇士明年赛季的冠军期望,但至少(留下他们)会传递老板为了胜利可以不顾一切。
