If we assume that the players who are kept will get four-year extensions, it’s not wild at all to think that Green’s will look the worst on the back half.
And he only played in 46 regular season games last year, which is, unfortunately, becoming something of a trend. Why he might be the odd man out: There’s no denying that Dray’s lack of scoring and shooting hurt the offense this year. Let’s make the case for, and against, each player. And let’s eliminate Thompson, too, because he still has two years left on his deal - he may need to take a discount on his next contract, but nothing he can do now will put the team in a financially feasible position for the 2023-24 season. So barring something bizarre, one of those players will need to be given back their wings next summer, so they can fly elsewhere. And even if one player is extended this offseason, it doesn’t necessarily signal a clear commitment, as that player could still be traded. But the Warriors can offer extensions to any of those players right now, and Thompson and Slater reported that some discussions are already underway, though they noted that “nothing is imminent” regarding Wiggins, and “there doesn’t appear to be a level of urgency” with a Poole extension. In all likelihood, that decision will be made this time next year. And with tax payments, that someone will shave something in the order of $150 million off the total bill. The conclusion, unless it isn’t abundantly clear, is this: the Warriors cannot keep all five of Green, Wiggins, Poole, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson beyond this season. You can search long and hard for a few discounts, but they’ll shave off tens of millions, not hundreds of millions. It revealed that Draymond Green wants a max contract, the Warriors are unwilling to give him one, and he’s willing to play elsewhere.Īnd it put the harrowing numbers onto the page: A $33 million/year extension for Andrew Wiggins, mixed with a $31 million/year extension for Green, mixed with a $27 million/year extension for Jordan Poole would result in total payments estimated at around $564 million. It featured a previously glossed over quote from Joe Lacob, given to The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami in June, that the team would be unwilling to exceed a $400 million payroll. On Wednesday, The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson II and Anthony Slater offered an in-depth report on the financial flexibility of the Dubs. When the Warriors refused to match the price tag necessary to retain Gary Payton II, the dam stood its ground. As the Warriors set the NBA record for payroll in 2021-22, and committed to setting a new record in 2022-23, the dam held strong. As the contracts grew larger, the dam refused to budge. Fans and writers alike have formed a human dam to keep the drama at bay. The drama has been brewing for a while, yet we’ve all tried to suppress it as much as possible. Certainly more dramatic than things are supposed to be for a defending-champion NBA team this time of year. More dramatic than things are supposed to be for an NBA team in the doldrums of late July. All other options, cap holds, exceptions are assumed as declined, waived or renounced.It’s been a dramatic few days for the Golden State Warriors. This is calculated by determining all guaranteed salaries + any dead cap from non-guaranteed salaries. Cap TypeĢ023-24 Practical Cap Space Available Practical Cap Space: The team may only sign outside players using any available exceptions or at league minimum salaries. This means Cap Holds & Exceptions are NOT included in their Total Cap Allocations, and renouncing these figures will not afford them any cap space.

Cap holds represent "placeholders" for pending free agents, unsigned draft picks, offer sheets, etc.
