According to Woj's latest report, the Golden State Warriors and Paul have agreed to postpone the guaranteed $30 million in Paul's contract next season until the time the free agency opens. But Paul only agreed to postpone that date by one day, to July 1, Beijing time, because Paul wanted to go to Los Angeles, so he agreed to postpone with the Warriors. If the Warriors don't make the switch and cut Paul, Paul will probably go to the Lakers with a base salary.
The Warriors did this for two reasons: First, the decision allowed the Warriors to continue to explore trade possibilities and flexibility, such as trading Paul George, who the Warriors put "above everything else" in pursuing George.
Second, the decision would also give the Warriors more time to deal with Klay's contract. Once the Warriors trade to George, they will have more bargaining chips when renewing Klay's contract, so George's departure will also affect the Warriors' next decision on Klay.
At present, the biggest card that the Warriors can get in the free market is George, depending on how many chips the Warriors pay, they will probably pull a third party, the Clippers are not expected to ask Paul, if Paul and other Warriors cut a direct base salary is better, so the "light bulb combination" is difficult to reproduce, and the Kuminga Warriors will not give it.
After all, there is nothing to do for the Warriors at present, it is definitely no fun to impact the playoffs with the existing lineup, in order not to waste Curry's last peak, it can be regarded as a free release, the Warriors must know that trading today's George is risky, but I still want to try, after all, George is stronger than Wiggins, as long as George can play at a normal level, I believe that the combination of Curry and George is still competitive.
