If I were curry, I’d pay green under the table for the amount less the max extension. First world problem solved. Now, lets focus on getting to seven rings.
P.s. lets get retro OG bigman mode and feed Wiseman on the post so he can get his hook shot going. Ok Kerr? Geez do I have to solve all your first world problems!
Lacob is a business man. He knows that (1) the Cap is going up significantly the year after the big extensions would hit, and (2) how to amortize money and distribute it across multiple years. He gave Myers a pretty clear message to cut payroll this year, and Myers did. They will have a lower payroll than they did last year after taxes. He also knows that once the cap goes up, they will also end up with a lower payroll. So, he will be willing to take the hit to extend everyone for one year, and amortize out that cost over multiple years, including this year's payroll.
Honestly, Dray opting out into an early extension at a $3M raise above his option is probably a good thing long term for the Dubs. If Dray were to go into UFA in the same year the salary cap gets a huge bump, there will be LOTS of teams with money to spend, and the Max could go up to $50M+/year. There's a high probability he would end up earning a contract well in excess of $33M+ in the first year. Yah, the extra $3M+ hurts in the year where you're paying almost an 8x multiplier in luxury tax, but the long term money saved most likely offsets it.

@AgentMoldovan tells ESPN. Contract has an NBA out so he can return to league, which has been his goal after grueling recovery from the freak fall at Olympics a year ago this week.
Has anyone ever asked Steph about the origins of his nite-nite celebration? I remember Jeff Hornacek used to gently touch his cheek when he was at the FT line as a way to say "hi" to his kids.
I can see Steph going "ah yea I remember Canon didn't want to go to bed during his normal bedtime and so this was me telling him to go to bed... but then it turned into this thing".
On the issue of Draymond's next contract. His play is worth the max to the Warriors, before cap considerations. But what is the most another team would be willing to give Dray? It's a real question.
Welp. Don't think this Draymond contract situation will end peacefully. It pains me to say this but I can totally see him playing with Lebron in LA at some point in the future. Looks like it'll just be Steph and Klay that retires as a Warrior
Excellent article in the Athletic today - predicting the future of long term player contracts and the amazing compounding power of 10% annual cap increases.
TLDR: Giving top young players long term max contracts now is going to look like genius in a few years. Jordan Poole should be smiling!
A fresh open thread

My prediction.

draymond green may reject player option, thoughts?

I wouldn't trade even the lone Jaylen Brown for KD, let alone with White and picks.
Any news of Brittney Griner?
Has there ever been free throw shoot outs before? Thoughts on it's viability?
