Golden State Warriors find teammates for Stephen Curry and Chris Paul: "Old people" appear
After letting Jordan Poole go, trading veteran defender Chris Paul and renewing with Draymond Green in the recent NBA transfer market, the Golden State Warriors have gradually shaped the frame with familiar pillars.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Chris Paul will be the "four pillars" of both the main and reserve Warriors squad, aiming to compete for the championship next season.
However, Golden State has no intention of stopping and will continue to improve the squad. Although the salary budget is tight, they still want to recruit 1 or 2 more role-player players.
Priority for this position are experienced names, capable of making an immediate impact in a short time of integration. To achieve the goal, Golden State will organize a series of recruitment sessions with the participation of many free players.
According to prestigious journalists Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic, names coming to the "try-out" for the Warriors include Dion Waiters, Tony Snell, Kent Bazemore, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Harry Giles and Trey Burke.
In this group are two players who have played for Golden State before, Kent Bazemore and Juan Toscano-Anderson.
Kent Bazemore played three seasons for the Golden State Warriors in two different eras. The first was in 2012 to 2014 (2 seasons) and the second was in the 2020-21 season, both periods being tough times for the Warriors' achievements.
With Juan Toscano-Anderson, the player born in 1993 with Mexican and American blood has come to Golden State through the G-League Santa Cruz Warriors team. He worked hard and performed well enough to join the first team in the 2020-21 season and contribute in the 2021-22 championship season.
Another notable name in the "tryout" group this time can be mentioned is Harry Giles, a versatile winger who can help Golden State in the sub-team if played properly.
According to journalist Shams Charania, the Golden State Warriors will organize recruitment into many different rounds, trying to find the puzzle piece that best suits the style of play that the team is building.
It is expected that the decision to sign any player in the above group will be made in late August and early September, shortly before the joining period for the 2023-24 NBA season.
