Part 8/10:
As the Warriors gear up for competition against the Rockets, questions arise about the balance between developing Kaminga and the immediate goal of winning with veteran talents. As the postseason progresses, the decisions involving Kaminga will shape the team’s structure going forward. The Warriors need to assess whether to prioritize the immediate impact of Butler—who proved his capability to lead teams in playoff runs—or to invest in Kaminga's growth as a foundational piece for the future.
If the Warriors achieve success this postseason, it might compel them to let Kaminga walk or re-sign him at a more manageable cost. Conversely, failure could advocate for team restructuring, whereby they could explore trading Butler and investing in Kaminga’s future.
