The Warriors three-person contract expires, and the defensive strongman is likely to stay in the team. The three-time champion veteran is going to say goodbye to the Warriors

For the Warriors this offseason, they need to strengthen on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also need to consider the renewal of the three free agents. Which of these three players needs to stay in the team, and which players need to be abandoned may be what the management needs to consider. This offseason, the Warriors have three players who have fully expired their contracts and become free agents, namely Cuminga Payton Jr. and Rooney.

Strictly speaking, these three players are very important rotation players for the Warriors. In the past few years, they have been rotation players that Cole attaches great importance to. But this year's offseason management must make a choice. There may be two players who will most likely leave the team, including Kumingga and Rooney.

Kuminga's departure is not surprising to many fans. On the one hand, Kuminga desires a higher role, and he hopes to go to other teams to show his talents. After all, Cole used him too conservatively in the Warriors. It is actually easy to understand if Rooney leaves the team. After all, the frequency of Cole using Rooney has indeed decreased in the past two seasons. Rooney did expose his weakness of slow movement on the court, including his finishing ability at the basket. Currently Post looks like Cole prefers center, after all, he has outside projections.

So Rooney and Kumingga may not renew their contract with them in the offseason, and Rooney may be leaving the Warriors as a three-time veteran. Payton Jr. will most likely continue to stay with the Warriors, because Payton Jr.'s role in the Warriors is still very important, and he is one of the Warriors' defensive pillars on the outside. With Payton Jr. in the lineup, it can alleviate Curry's defensive pressure on the outside, and Payton Jr. can share many of Curry's defensive responsibilities.

He can go around many top point guards in the West. This is very important to the tactical value of the Warriors. Don't forget that in the season when the Warriors won the championship, Payton Jr. went to guard the outside core in every round of the series. He was indeed a defensive player that the Warriors needed very much. Therefore, the Warriors will most likely renew their contract with Payton Jr. The contract may not be big, but there should be no big problem with staying in the team. I wonder what the fans think?
