It was the Hampton Five. The Hampton Five, collectively known as Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green, along with Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, was a symbol of Golden State's immense power.
At that time, Golden State advanced to the final three times and won the back-to-back championship.
After losing to the Toronto Raptors, the Hampton Five was disbanded. Durant left, and Thompson went into long rehab.
Golden State is at the crossroads of team reorganization. Curry and Green are still Golden State's mainstay, but Thompson is already a part of Dallas. He emerged as a Western playoff dark horse with Jimmy Butler, but eventually lost to Minnesota. Curry suffered a hamstring injury. Curry, Butler, and Green are just around the corner.
Golden State is still in Win Now mode at the end of Curry's career. Power reinforcement is needed. The Big Three is still solid, but it's 2% short of winning power.
On Golden State's radar is Milwaukee's absolute ace Yannis Antetokounmpo.
CBS Sports said on the 17th (Korea time) 'Golden State is in the offseason. I'm thinking about effective power reinforcement. Curry is set to return to good health, and Jimmy Butler has already signed an extension. Draymond Green is also strong, 'Even if the three players are strong, it is clear that the team needs to strengthen its power to compete for the championship. At this point, we need Atetokounmpo.
The outlet said 'Adetokounmpo has yet to (officially) request a trade from Milwaukee. However, reports continue to emerge that he has not completely given up playing for other teams. Aetokounmpo and Curry have always respected each other, so if he asks for a trade from Milwaukee, Golden State is likely to be considered. However, if that happens, there are also variables that the Warriors do not have enough funds to sign him for the Bucks. at least without someone's help.
ESPN also said 'Is there a package that Golden State can use to recruit Yanis. They have future draft picks, interesting young players. However, it may not be easy to mobilize funds necessary for recruitment competition. Antetokounmpo still has a two-year contract with Milwaukee. However, if Antetokounmpo expresses his desire to play with Curry in Milwaukee, a deal may be made.'
`However, if Antetokounmpo wants to play for the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, there is a good chance that the trade will be completed. If Milwaukee tries to extract the maximum amount of rebuilding material with the card Antetokounmpo, the three teams could compete fiercely.'
Antetokounmpo's leading recruiting teams have been the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. Houston is a club with strong newcomers who can be future draft picks and the cornerstone of Milwaukee's rebuilding. The San Antonio Spurs have won the second overall nomination, and there are also many good newcomers.
CBS Sports said 'Golden State can offer a deal with Milwaukee around Brandin Poseyemski, Jonathan Kuminga, and future nominations, but it's not a sufficient condition to lead to Milwaukee's agreement. However, if Antetokounmpo only wants to go to Golden State, the deal can be done. In other words, it is possible, but going to Golden State requires Antetokounmpo's active will and Milwaukee's concession in reality. Reporter Ryu Dong-hyuk: sfryu@sportschosun.com .
