On June 19, Beijing time, three pieces of news came from Jinzhou Warriors. Let's have a look.
Clay stands firm
Previously, according to several reporters, Clay Thompson and Warriors were basically determined to go their separate ways because of their disagreement over the renewal of their contract. At present, teams such as the 76ers and Magic are closely following Thompson's situation and are willing to offer him a big contract. Today, Brian Windhorst talked about the Warriors and Thompson in a podcast called Pat McAfee Show. Windhorst said: "Warrior still wants to keep Thompson, but considering the luxury tax pressure and in order to match the contract length of Curry, Warrior is only willing to provide Thompson with an offer of $5000w for two years. Thompson has a firm attitude. He wants a contract with an average annual salary of no less than $3000w for three years, and will not make concessions. This is why the two sides are on the verge of breaking up."
In the past season, Thompson played 77 games and averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.6 steals in 29.7 minutes per game. He shot 43.2%, 38.7% and 92.7% in three events. Although a number of data have reached new lows in the past decade, Thompson is still a player above the second level and one of the top quality shooters in the league. For Thompson, it is the best that he can stay in the place where his dream began. But at this stage of his career, it is the last big contract he may get. He must want to seek greater economic benefits for himself and his family, so it is completely understandable that he is unwilling to make concessions on the contract. Whether Thompson will leave or return depends on the choice made by the management of Warriors after weighing the advantages and disadvantages. "
31+15 strong players or franchises
Today, NBA reporter Evan Sidery reported that many teams in the league, including the Bucks, the Lakers, Denver Nuggets, the Suns and the Warriors, are interested in getting free agent Kenyon Martin Jr. At the age of 23, Martin is 2.01m tall and 99kg in weight. He has served as a forward on the spot. He has played for the Rockets, Clippers and 76 people for four years. He has played 266 regular season games, and has scored 8.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.7 minutes per game. His shooting percentage is 54.4%, with a maximum of 31 points and 15 rebounds. Little Martin is fast, strong and has excellent athletic ability. He is good at all kinds of aerial work and defensive counterattack. He has also developed a certain amount of long-range projection in the past two seasons. He is a player with a certain amount of combat power and rising space.
Compared with other teams, the Warriors have two advantages: 1. If the Warriors refuse to execute Paul's team contract this summer, they will get about $1500w of middle class space. The Warriors can split and sign Martin Jr., which will cost a lot more than other teams that can only provide basic salary; 2. The Warriors have fewer internal front lines, and Martin will get more playing time and performance opportunities. Little Martin can improve the strength of the weak front line of the Warriors, and bring them much-needed vitality and sports performance. He is the target that the team needs to recruit. It depends on whether it can be successfully captured.
The winner's odds are not among the top ten
Today, the US gaming website released the odds list of the 2025 championship. Celtic, who just won the championship, ranked first by absolute advantage, followed by Denver, the 23 year champion, and Warriors, who missed the top 10 and only ranked 12th.

Rockets&Spurs+15000, 23 Bulls+30000,24, Raptors&Pistons&Nets&Wizards&Pioneers&Hornets&Jazz.
As for the ranking of the Warriors, many fans talked about it. Some people said: "You despise the Warriors too much. Somehow, there is a super giant named Curry, and the championship team has not changed much. As long as the operation is proper, the Warriors should not be underestimated." Some people said: "Come on, Curry is one year old again, and whether he can maintain his competitive status is unknown, And the Warriors' lineup is facing major changes this season, there are many unknown factors, let alone the championship, let's go into the playoffs first. "What do you think about this?
