Every time it comes to the NBA offseason, the rumors in the free agent market are all over the place. In this year's offseason, there are so many teams that have attracted the attention of fans and friends, including the Golden State Warriors. Last season's Warriors suffered a Waterloo, Curry not only lost his All-Star starter, but the Warriors lost to the Kings in the first round of the play-offs and fell in front of the playoffs on the premise of a 46-36 record.

The current state of the Warriors

For the Warriors, they spent about $380 million in salaries last season, of which the luxury tax was paid by more than half. Warriors head coach Kerr said at the end of the season that spending a lot of money and then wasting money is unacceptable for any team.

Coupled with Warriors owner Lacob's previous remarks on the show, he believes that paying the luxury tax shouldn't be endless. And Xiao Hua passed the latest luxury tax collective bargaining agreement, and the second tier of penalties will cost a bigger price, so the current economic situation of the Warriors does not allow Klay to stay with the team for a long time.

Currently, Curry has two years left on his contract. Dream Chaser and Kerr were probably also at this time, so there wasn't much time left for the Warriors. In the past few years, plus all teams are reinforcing each other, the Warriors must find an All-Star player with online strength this offseason, and Paul George has become the first choice of the Warriors.

Recently, Clippers reporter Tomer Azarly wrote about George.

"The Warriors are a team interested in George, but multiple sources say the Warriors are not keen on making any trades for Kuminga this offseason, i.e., the youngster is not for sale to them," he wrote. The Warriors do have contracts like Wiggins (about $85 million over three years) or Paul ($30 million) that would make it easier to balance the salary of the trade, but that kind of chip isn't too attractive for the Clippers. ”

Last season, George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and in the playoffs, George averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

The action of the Warriors

For George's chips, the most popular version on the Internet at the moment is: Paul + Payton + Looney + 2 first round. But this chip is not enough to impress the Clippers, and the Clippers are also very vague, they refuse to offer George a maximum salary of $210 million over four years, and it is likely to be sold at present.

The Warriors have made a move, and it is reported that Chris Paul and the Warriors have agreed to postpone the guaranteed date of $30 million in his contract next season until the beginning of free agency. Anthony Slater, a reporter for The Athletic, said Paul simply agreed to push the date back by one day, July 1.

A number of league sources interpreted the move, saying the Warriors pushed back the guaranteed date of Paul's contract ($30 million) to give them more time to try and close the deal. One of the names at the top of their trade list is Paul George.

And the Warriors' willingness to offer Paul George a four-year salary cap is very attractive. In the past two days, Paul is expected to have results, and there is a high probability that Paul will be cut or signed for some assets, but it is likely to be the former. If George can join the Warriors, the Big Three of Curry + George + Green will still be competitive in the West next season.
