“Golden state actually got worse this offseason lmaoo,” Sometimes, the fans’ sentiment sums up the entire mood of the franchise. The Warriors are yet to make a move while other teams are adding players left, right, and Center. Why the delay? Every report suggests that Jonathan Kuminga’s uncertainty in this free agency has put a stop to Dub Nation’s future plans. But during this uncertain time, one player is bringing in all the hope with his latest social media activity.
The man ain’t Superman, but Robin to Stephen Curry’s Batman. Yes, Jimmy Butler seems to be back from his different escapades during the offseason. His YouTuber Faze Rug showcased a candid personality where the Warriors forward was not shy about talking about any topic. He crowned Suns Book a better 1v1 player in a hypothetical game and said, “Devin Booker, 11-0.” The content creator even took some liberty and asked, “does Steph smell good?”
Obviously, Jimmy Buckets was bewildered, and his face was a perfect mask of confusion and disbelief. If you are waiting for an answer, there was none from the 6x All-Star. But if you want to know what the Warriors #10 is up to, then at least you will be happy that he is back hooping. That’s right, the delay from the Warriors front office has been going on for such a long time that the players are apparently done with their vacations. The 35-year-old was backing shooting with a trusted advisor.
Adam Harrington, who is a coach and also helps train Jimmy Butler, was also part of the Instagram update that the Warriors star shared. It wasn’t a full-fledged practice session, but a simple shoot-around as the star forward gets some of the reps back. Harrington was closely monitoring and explaining a new move to Jimmy to add to his bag. So, their player is looking to make more additions while the team watches other franchises take away their shortlisted player.
Warriors look for additions to help the Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler duo
Per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Warriors have a handshake agreement with both their free agency targets, Horford and De’Anthony Melton. “Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton are widely expected to sign with the Warriors, sources said. A handful of teams at NBA Summer League stated Horford and Melton already have verbal agreements in place with Golden State.” But there have been no significant updates in recent weeks regarding this deal’s progression.
The Warriors, entering the last phase of Stephen Curry’s illuminating career, can’t see another heartbreak list in the last season. However, unlike the situation in Golden State, are teams are stacking up on free agents, most recently Lindy Waters III. The 27-year-old will join the San Antonio Spurs as Shams Charania broke the news. He would have been a great fit for the Dub Nation, especially with his 39.5% from the three-point range in 14 games with the Detroit Pistons last season. Plus, his defensive ability is also a quality that the Warriors are looking for.
After losing Kevon Looney to the Pelicans, the Warriors’ need for a reliable center is more than ever right now. The right rim protector can help them build the team around the offence of Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry. But that again depends on how the team actually handles the entire Jonathan Kuminga situation. To make matters more worrisome, there is also an impending question about Steve Kerr’s future with the team. With a lot of What-if’s it is understandable what the Dub Nation is going through. But they will have to hold on tight until a resolution comes.
