The Golden State Warriors currently have only 11 people on the roster, namely: Curry, Wiggins, Dream, Payton, Kuminga, Moody, Podium, Waters, Santos, Davis, and the combined salary of these 11 has reached $146 million.
Earlier, the Golden State Warriors cut Paul's 30 million team option, which is equivalent to clearing 30 million salary space.
On draft night, the Warriors completed two operations: 1. The Warriors' No. 52 pick was traded from the Thunder for Waters;
2. Bought back the No. 52 pick from the Thunder with cash and selected 7-foot center Bosman;
The Warriors also negotiated a contract extension with Klay, who is sure to leave the Golden State Warriors and will meet with the Lakers, Clippers, Philadelphia, Mavericks and other teams. The Warriors are eager to sign Klay and then trade for Klay.
According to Woshen, after the Mavericks signed Marshall for three years and 27 million, they hope to sign Klay Thompson, and then renew the contract of Derrick Jones Jr., and the Mavericks want to build a stronger championship roster for Irving and Doncic again.
However, Woshen also revealed that James called Klay immediately after the free market opened, and Klay intended to play with James, and everything depends on the final outcome of the negotiations. Unless the Warriors sign Klay for a much higher price than the Lakers, why would Klay leave the remaining assets for the sake of the bad Warriors management?
The Warriors also missed out on George, and the Warriors wanted to trade Paul and Wiggins as chips for George, but the Clippers rejected such a proposal, and George refused to exercise the player option, and the Warriors were out.
The Warriors also rejected the Bulls' offer to trade LaVine for Paul and Wiggins, and that's the sixth operation.
After these six moves, the Warriors missed the opportunity to add reinforcements, and they already have 12 players on the roster after signing Bosman, and the maximum salary limit for them to buy draft picks this year is 190 million. It is very likely that the roster will not be able to improve and become the belly of the league in the future.
