Many Warriors fans have been expecting the Warriors to get Markkanen in a future trade because Markkanen joins the Warriors. Curry has a very strong autonomous offensive point around him, and the Warriors could get stronger next season. The combination of Curry and Markkanen is still worth looking forward to. But now the idea of a deal has become disillusioned. Because the Warriors are not willing to give their young players.
According to the front reporter, Markkanen will renew his contract with the Jazz, and he cannot be traded in the 24~25 season. So it was rumored that Markkanen didn't leave the Jazz in the end, and the Warriors didn't have a chance to get such an All-Star. The Warriors have a chance to get Markkanen, and as long as they are willing to let go of someone, the Jazz will immediately choose to send Markkanen, but the Warriors flatly rejected the Jazz's request, and the player they are unwilling to send is the No. 19 pick they selected last season, Podzemski.
Why are the Warriors reluctant to send Podemski? This may be puzzling to many Warriors fans, after all, many Warriors fans are not optimistic about Podzemski, and even many fans have a certain dislike for Podzemski last season. But there's no denying that Warriors management saw potential in Podzemski, who was named to the All-Rookie team last season, despite being his rookie season last season. Even the accolades he has created have surpassed Jordan Poole before him, and in the eyes of the Warriors' management, Podemski is a player worthy of their development.
The Warriors were willing to give up Moody in order to trade Markkanen, but they were not willing to give up Podzemski. It can be seen that Podemski has become one of the team's non-selling items. And it is very likely that he will replace Curry as the team's starting point guard in the future. Even next season, according to Kerr's approach to personnel, Podzemski will play a very important role in the team. Last season there were already signs of Kerr's reluctance to bench Podzemski.
Why did Thompson choose to leave the Warriors? In part, it's also because he's unhappy with Kerr's use of him last season. Kerr reused Podemski more than Thompson last season. Thompson didn't want to be overpowered by a young player on the Warriors, so he was willing to join the Mavericks with a lower salary. He felt that his self-esteem had been severely damaged. So at this point, we can see how important Podzemski is to the Warriors. Are fans optimistic that Podzemski can play in the future? Will he be an All-Star?
