According to famous reporter Shams, Jamakao Green is discussing a buyout with Thunder and plans to sign a contract with the Warriors after the clarification period. During this offseason, Jamakao Green was sent to the Thunder by the Nuggets trade.
Jamakao-Green is 2.03 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.19 meters, and weighs 103 kg. He plays as a power forward on the field. Last season, Jamacao Green played 67 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 6.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 breaks and 0.4 caps per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 26.6%.
Warriors reporter Connor Letourneau said that the Warriors have been looking for a No. 4 player who can open up space for some time. Another Warriors reporter Monte Poole said that some people in the coaching staff and management of the Warriors have always liked Jamacao Green. Connor Letourneau believes that Jamacao Green's poor performance last season was a reason, and he will be able to play in a similar state to the 20-21 season next season. In the 20-21 season, Jamacao Green averaged 8.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 breaks and 0.4 shots per game, shooting percentage of 46.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.9%.
According to US media reports, Jamakao Green signed a one-year veteran's basic salary contract with the Warriors, with a contract amount of about 2.63 million yuan per year. According to regulations, 1.83 million US dollars of Jamacao Green's basic salary contract will be included in the Warriors' total salary in the new season, of which 1 million corresponds to a 575% tax rate, and 830,000 corresponding to a 625% tax rate. Introducing Green's operation, the Warriors will have to pay an additional $10.938 million in luxury tax. In other words, in order to sign Jamacao Green, the Warriors' spending will increase by nearly $13 million next season. Signing a player with a basic salary will increase by nearly 13 million yuan, which is why many people think that the Warriors' lineup will not last long.
Warriors signed Jamacao-Green to the total luxury tax rose to 151 million, of course, less than last season's 176 million. However, the Warriors now have only 12 players and need to sign 3 players to fill the 15-man roster. The Warriors' total salary will increase by $1 next, and the luxury tax will increase by $6.25. Even if the three players the Warriors sign next have basic salary, the total salary will increase by nearly $5 million, and the corresponding luxury tax will increase by more than $30 million.
Connor Letourneau said that given the luxury tax, the Warriors may enter training camp with only 14 players. The Warriors are still waiting for news whether Iguodala plans to retire. If Iguodala retires, the Warriors may find a substitute point guard to join the team.
Jamakao Green is the Warriors' fourth sign this year. The three signatures are: 3 years, 25.5 million to renew Rooney, 2 years, 9.3 million to sign Divinchenzo to sign Baldwin in 4 years, 11.4 million to sign Baldwin in 4 years. Among the players whose contract expired, the Warriors only left Rooney, and the rest of the players left. Otto Porter joined Raptors , Peyton Jr. joined Trail Blazers , Anderson went to Lakers , Damian Lee joined Suns , Belica returned to Europe.
After the offseason adjustment, the 12 players on the Warriors' roster have become:
Guards: Curry , Thompson , Jordan Poole , Divinchenzo, Moody, Baldwin;
Small forwards: Wiggins ;
Power forwards: Dream-Chasing Green, Kumingga, Jamakao Green;
Center: Wiseman , Rooney.
12 men's team is not inferior to last season. The Warriors still have 3 signing places, Iguodala, Howard , and Anthony are their targets.
