Maybe even Poole he didn't expect to get a Green in the team's training class. He finally received a four-year, $140 million early contract renewal from Warriors before the start of the new season.
According to multiple parties, 123 million of this contract renewal contract is fully guaranteed, and the rest are used as incentive conditions for Poole. Once all incentive conditions are met, Poole can get up to US$144 million.
At almost the same time, relevant experts gave the amount of luxury tax the Warriors will need to pay next season.
If Green stays in the team next season, the Warriors' total salary will reach about $190 million, and the luxury tax that needs to be paid is $108 million.
But if Wiggins and Green stay in the team, the total salary of the Warriors will reach about $220 million, and the luxury tax that needs to be paid will reach a terrifying $300 million.
There is no doubt that such a high luxury tax Warriors will have to print even if they turn on the printing machine. Wiggins and Green may be one of them next season.
Currently, the salary of major Warriors players
Curry has four years of contract to be executed, with annual salary: 48.07 million, 51.92 million, 55.76 million, and 59.61 million;
Clay has two years of contract to be executed, with annual salary: 40.6 million and 43.22 million;
Wiggins has one year of contract to be executed, with an amount of 33.62 million, which means that after the end of this season, Wiggins will become a full free agent;
Green has two years of contract to be executed, with annual salary: 25.81 million and 27.59 million (with player options).
That is, after the end of this season, except for Wiggins and the Warriors, Curry, Clay and Green have contracts extended. The combined salary of the three of them next season will reach 122.7 million yuan. In addition, Rooney 's annual salary next year and Poole's 4-year and 140 million yuan contract next season will begin. It is conceivable that the Warriors' management will face a great test in the offseason next year.
Of course, Wiseman Next season 12.12 million, Kumingga's contracts of 5.74 million next season and Moody's 3.92 million next season are team options. If their performance disappoints the team this season, the Warriors can voluntarily terminate the contract with them in the offseason next year, which can also free up more than 20 million in salary space for the team, but it is obvious that the Warriors' contracts with these three people at the same time are slim.
At present, it seems that the Warriors management is the easiest solution to the team's luxury tax explosion next season to sacrifice Wiggins, but as the team's most outstanding forward player at present, the team can not only contribute about 18 points per game to a stable output, but also can defend the opponent's strong attack points from the first to third positions, and can also reach the fourth position when the Warriors play in the five-small lineup. As long as he maintains his current state and combines his age at 27, it should be easier to leave the Warriors next season to find a five-year contract with an annual salary of around 30-35 million.
In addition, due to Green's attack on Poole and his visible decline in 's state in playoffs last season, more people hope that the Warriors' management will trade him in the offseason next year. This will not only relieve the pressure on salary space, but also have great hope of renewing Wiggins. However, Green has the option of a last-year player. If he plays well in the new season, the Warriors will definitely be more confused about who he and Wiggins will stay. Once he plays poorly, he may execute his last-year contract like Westbrook , and the Warriors will not be able to trade him out smoothly.
But these are all later stories. At present, the most important thing for the Warriors is to play this season's game well. If they can really defend the title, the team's management may do their best to keep most of them. Once the title defense fails or is eliminated early, the team will definitely have a big change. Of course, the answer to all this will be left until next year.
