Off-Season Direction

The biggest question to answer when beginning to discuss the Warriors' off-season is to pinpoint what exactly their plan of action for this summer is since there are several avenues to explore. They can remain a second-apron team, drop down to become a first-apron team, or even drop down further to become a non-tax team (however, it’s worth mentioning opening up cap space this summer is not remotely realistic).

In other words: 1) do the Warriors go all out to acquire a second star to pair with Steph Curry, 2) make more medium-level moves to retool the roster, or 3) simply opt to fill out the roster as best as possible while trying to escape the tax.

Option #1. Second Star (2nd Apron Team)

The Warriors' first plan of action this summer should be to see if they can find a way to pry away one of those All-NBA caliber talents they've been chasing year after year since losing Kevin Durant. Names like Giannis Antentekoumpo, Joel Embiid, Bradley Beal, Lebron James, etc have all hit the timeline at some point over the years, all to no avail.

This off-season, the two big names who seem like they could be gettable are: Paul George and Jimmy Butler.

Butler has two years left on his deal. $48.8M for this upcoming season with a $52.4M player option for 25/26. He has been seeking a max extension from the Miami Heat who haven't felt too inclined to offer it at this point to the 34-year-old.

George has a little over a week to decide on picking up a $49M player option with the Los Angeles Clippers for next season and is reportedly considering his options.

Both players feel like the caliber of additions where the Warriors would improve enough to the point where ownership would feel comfortable continuing to spend deep into the tax.

The question becomes if the Warriors can entice not only these players, but their respective franchises enough to get a deal done in the face of other competitive suitors like the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks, etc.

From a financial aspect, getting the requisite matching salary required to get up to one of these names will almost certainly have to involve Chris Paul's contract (more on that later), as well as, potentially the likes of Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and Kevon Looney.

From an asset standpoint, Jonathan Kuminga would be the centerpiece of any package they put together along with Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, and Trayce Jackson-Davis. The Warriors additionally can trade up to three picks (2026, 2028, 2030 (1-20)).

Will all that be enough though?

Other names that have been tossed around like Lauri Markannen ($18M), Mikal Bridges ($23.3M), and Karl Anthony-Towns ($49.4M) are on teams that have shown no motivation to move on from those players at that point and seem incredibly unrealistic.

The Warriors showed significant interest around the trade deadline in Pascal Siakam before he was traded to the Indiana Pacers, but ultimately opted against making a move given their concerns about giving him a maximum contract (among other things like Toronto’s asking price). Siakam in a sense can therefore be used as a sort of measuring stick in terms of what caliber of player the Warriors are willing to keep their spending going for.

Someone like popularly discussed Zach Lavine? Probably not.

Option #2. Retooling (1st Apron Level)

When the Warriors inevitably strike out on the big names, the next course of action is to see if they can't improve the team through some more lateral or marginal trades.

Moves they could make through either Wiggins's contract or a combination of their other more medium-sized contracts in order to keep their salary at a manageable, below second-arpon level; appropriate for a team of their on-court output.

Looking around the league these are some names I would make a call on:

• Brandon Ingram ($36M)

• Jerami Grant ($29.8M)

• Dejounte Murray ($25.3M)

• Cameron Johnson ($23.6M)

• Kyle Kuzma ($23.5M)

• Brook Lopez ($23M)

• Bruce Brown Jr. ($23M)

• Clint Capela ($22.3M)

• Jarrett Allen ($20M)

• Bojan Bogdanovic ($19M)

• Bogdan Bogdanovic ($17.3M)

• Deni Avidja ($15.6M)

• Isaiah Stewart ($15M)

• Dorian Finney-Smith ($14.9M)

• Mitchell Robinson ($14.3M)

• Grant Williams ($13M)

• Robert Williams ($12.4M)

• Matisse Thybulle ($11M)

• Chris Boucher ($10.8M)

• Georges Niang ($8.5M)

• Jock Landale ($8M)

• Vasilije Micic ($7.7M)

• Jae’Sean Tate ($7.6M)

• Chris Duarte ($6.9M)

• Sasha Vezenkov ($6.7M)

• Jalen McDaniels ($4.7M)

• Quentin Grimes ($4.3M)

• Seth Curry ($4M)

These are all players either on non-contending teams who don't quite need them; or on teams where they just aren’t the right fit and their respective franchises are looking to swap them for a piece that completes their puzzle more seamlessly.

They shouldn't have that high of an asking price (so no Kuminga necessary), but would likely make use of Wiggins as a matching salary and a combination of smaller assets in the form of a Moses Moody and maybe a draft pick or two. The real question with these moves would be how the Warriors value Wiggins and their assets in comparison to the type of players they could get from them.

But from an outside perspective, it just feels like the roster is too stagnant and needs some sort of shakeup.

Option #3. #RunItBack (Non-Tax Team)

The final option and unfortunately the most likely one is the Warriors decide against making a trade and instead go into their third summer with the mindset of hitting on free agents with their exceptions and hoping for significant growth from their young prospects, with a serious emphasis on Kuminga growing into the role of a bonafide second option. Is it the most exciting option? No. Will they likely be a much better team next year? Probably not. But going with this option also doesn't necessarily eliminate the possibility of utilizing the second one down the line at some point.

The main point here will be whether they are motivated to keep their salary below the tax in order to escape the repeater rate moving forward as owner Joe Lacob emphasized earlier this year.

Any team that is above the luxury tax line for 3 out of 4 years has to pay the repeater rate on their salary that is above the tax level. Currently at a rate of $1 more per each $1 spent compared to the non-repeater. By 2025/26, that increases to $2 more per each $1 spent.

To put that in perspective, last year as repeaters, the Warriors paid $176.9M in tax payments. Had they been non-repeaters it would've been $136.6M. A difference of $40.3M. With the same team salary in 2025/26, they'd pay $246.3M as repeaters and $165.8M as non-repeaters. A difference of $80.5M, essentially double. So, from a financial standpoint, it would be pragmatic to keep that in mind.

The issue of course with trying to stay under the tax is it makes them pretty limited in their roster building. If they cut CP3, cut Looney, sign their draft pick to a rookie minimum, and fill out the rest of the roster with vet minimums; that leaves them with $26.9M to fit between Klay Thompson and a free agent signed with the NTMLE while staying under the tax (and keeping the 15th spot open).

If they are okay with going into the tax (at least to start the season since you can trade salary away later to get under) they'd have about $34.2M to split between Thompson and the NTMLE FA while staying below the first apron (where they would subsequently be hard-capped at).

Important Off-Season Questions

Gary Payton II’s Player Option ✅

By the time of writing this, Payton II has already opted on 6/19 to accept his $9.1M player option for the following season.

Prior to that decision, there was some discussion that he might decline his option in order to re-sign with the Warriors on a longer-term, lower average salary deal (something in the 3yr/$18M range). This would've given him some future financial security coming off two injury-plagued seasons while helping the Warriors reduce their salary this season and lock up a useful rotational piece moving forward.

Ultimately, it seems Payton II decided he would rather take the most money possible now and bet on himself in free agency next year at age 32. Payton II at this higher salary as an expiring deal does make him more beneficial as a salary-matching asset in any potential trades.

Kevon Looney's Contract ✅

The next big domino to fall for the Warriors is their decision on Looney whose $9M salary for next season is set to be guaranteed on 6/24; of which $3M is guaranteed and contains an additional $1M as unlikely incentives that are only earned if the Warriors win the 2025 NBA Finals.

Following two strong seasons, Looney couldn’t give the same impact last year and not only lost his starting spot, but even struggled to get onto the floor at times. While he can still be an effective and serviceable rotational big man in spurts, it’s not at the cost of his current price point.

While recent reporting suggests the Warriors are content to guarantee his deal, from a financial standpoint unless the Warriors have a trade lined up that could utilize Looney's deal for salary matching (and potentially agree to push back his guarantee date to maintain optionality), the most prudent course of action would be to simply waive him ahead of his guarantee date and just eat that $3M partial guarantee on their books.

However, even if that were to be the case it shouldn't be the end of Looney's tenure with the Warriors. It seems reasonable to imagine Looney re-signing with the Warriors on a 1-year minimum deal (earning $3M, while only costing the Warriors $2M). In this scenario, Looney would be making $6M this year through the minimum and the dead money on his previous contract, in essence, taking a $2M pay cut ($3M if they win the title). While saving the Warriors similarly $3-4M in salary.

The only obstacle would be a team enticing Looney with an above-minimum offer. The Warriors after waiving Looney would no longer retain any form of bird rights and would only have an available exception (MLE & BAE depending on their salary) to offer something similar and would likely be hard-pressed to do so.

UPDATE: Warriors officially guaranteed Kevon Looney’s contract for the season.

Chris Paul's Contract

Paul's $30M salary guarantees on 6/28 and that's the date the Warriors off-season truly kicks off. Since there is no chance the Warriors have any intention of paying him that money, they have two options: waive him or come to an agreement with him to push back that guarantee date as they look to facilitate a trade.

If they waive him, it would indicate they don't have any sort of "Option 1" trade in the works and won't be going big game hunting this season. Paul would become a free agent, one they would hold no rights to (so he can't be re-signed without using an exception), free to pursue other opportunities. As I discussed with Eric earlier, Paul has no incentive to push back the date unless the Warriors have a clear trade in the works, as it would hamper his ability to get the best payday from an interested suitor.

• Perks and Apricot extensively discuss the off-season. Transcript and video.

Therefore, if they were to agree to push back the guarantee date, it would be a clear indication that something greater is in the works that they would need to use his salary for. This way Paul would get that big payday, while the Warriors can bolster their squad with a significant addition.

The reason why the Warriors would have to push back the guarantee date to use him in a trade is that in the current league year, they are operating as a second-apron team, which restricts them from aggregating Paul's salary with other salaries, and means that they cannot receive more salary than they send out in any trade

To acquire a larger salary than Chris Paul’s they would have to wait until the new league year when Thompson's salary comes off the books and they can operate as a below-second apron team.

Klay Thompson's Free Agency

Arguably the most important decision this summer for the Warriors will be the future of Klay Thompson. The beloved franchise legend has never seemed closer to departing than he does this summer.

Coming off a max deal where he's already turned down a 2yr/$48M extension from the Warriors (before the season) and another undisclosed 2-year extension more recently, he looks to test the market and try to secure a three-year deal.

With likely interest from cap-space-heavy teams, the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers, the Warriors will have some competition for his services. However, the intensity of that competition remains to be seen. According to recent reports, Thompson’s top pursuiter in Orlando only seems interested in offering a short-term, above-market contract. The type of contracts they gave out to Gary Harris (2yr/$26M - 2nd Yr Non-Guaranteed) and Joe Ingles (2yr/$22M - 2nd Yr Team Option). Although presumably at a higher salary.

How much more enticing will that be compared to what Golden State is offering?

To have a better sense of what an offer to Thompson might look like, I’ve created a ballpark of about $14M-$20.7M with the sweet spot for them sitting around $17.3M. The reasoning behind these numbers is working within the assumption that the Warriors fall into Option 3, as previously discussed, and will look to try to fit Thompson’s deal below either the first apron or luxury tax line. Now granted, they don’t have to do that and can offer him anything up to his $49M max and pay the subsequent tax on it if they so please. But assuming they will act financial cautious it can give us an idea of what is realistic.

If the Warriors could get Thompson close to that low-end of $14M it would allow them to fit his salary along with a $9M free agent acquisition under the tax level. Additionally, it would give them flexibility in trying to fit not only a Jonathan Kuminga extension, but a Moses Moody extension and/or use of the NTMLE while staying under the first apron in 2025/26.

The high-end of $20.7M is what they can give Thompson while still staying under the tax. In this scenario, they would not be using any part of the NTMLE (you can also tack on another $200k to that figure I penciled in for Lester Quiñones if you really want to stretch the budget - more on him later).

The magic number of $17.3M is the figure that allows them to fit Thompson, the entirety of the NTMLE for a free agent, Quiñones (on his qualifying offer), and the other two minimums below the first apron (with the 15th roster spot open).

This is the figure I think the Warriors would like to get. Ideally on a two-year deal, maybe a three-year one to appease Thompson and get it done.

Other Off-Season Questions

Lester Quiñones's Free Agency

A very under-discussed topic, but one I find quite interesting, is the case of Quiñones this off-season. Now granted I've been a fan of his since his very first Summer League game, (which was also the case with Jordan Poole, clearly I have a type), so maybe I'm a little more invested than the average fan. But Quiñones is an intriguing talent, who's been steadily improving in Santa Cruz these past two seasons. Billed out of college as a 3&D wing, he's really expanded his game in the pros into a secondary ball-handler who can create his own offense and set up others while efficiently operating within the Warriors' movement-heavy playstyle.

Quiñones will enter free agency with the Warriors having the option to turn him restricted by tendering a fully guaranteed $2,293,637 qualifying offer by 6/29.

The first question here is if the Warriors will even tender it. Quińones's QO is $200k more than the standard subsidized 1-year veteran minimum, and when you're looking to cut costs, every single penny matters. Especially if say you want to try to fit a new Klay Thompson contract and NTMLE free agent signing under the first tax apron, while giving both those players the most competitive offer possible, as we discussed above.

That being said, from a basketball perspective, $200k is negligible when talking about retaining a very talented 23-year-old player. Someone who has shown great promise, fits within your team's identity, and would be on a very cost-controlled salary. So it would be pragmatic for the Warriors to factor in Quiñones on that $200k bump when planning out their other offers and moves.

However, just because they submit the qualifying offer, doesn't necessarily mean they will be able to retain Quiñones (as we saw last year with Ty Jerome). Therefore the second question, is what does his market look like in free agency? And additionally, what is the price point the Warriors balk at? While retaining his early bird rights, they can go pretty high to bring him back ($10M+), but given the financial concerns it seems pretty likely if any team were to offer even anything to Quiñones, the Warriors would let him walk.

2024 2nd Round Draft Pick (#52)

By way of the Cory Joseph salary dump to the Indiana Pacers at the trade deadline, the Warriors were able to buy their way into the late second round of this draft to try to add another intriguing young prospect to their roster. Without diving into the draft-eligible candidates (I'll leave that to the experts like Eric), the one key aspect I want to touch on here is the potential contract of this pick.

While most late second-rounders generally sign two-way deals or get stashed overseas, as they did with Trayce Jackson-Davis, I would once again expect the Warriors to sign whoever they have to a standard multi-year contract utilizing the Second-Round Pick Exception. This would allow them to add a player with a salary for this upcoming season at $1.2M, which is about $900k cheaper than the standard subsidized veteran minimum, saving them a nice slice of money as they try to exhaust the rest of their optionality.

The second reason behind doing so is that it gives them a significant advantage in terms of what prospect they could get at their pick. While the first round of the draft has a set salary scale, that doesn't exist for the second round making it quite a free-for-all and allowing teams to, in a sense, bid on players. It doesn't matter as much what pick you have, but rather how much you're willing to pay.

Last year Jackson-Davis had a consistent 20s-30s draft grade, but the Warriors were able to select him at pick 57 because they were willing to give him $3M guaranteed instead of two-way contracts (also helped his agent was Mike Dunleavy's brother).

Jonathan Kuminga's Extension

An under-discussed topic this off-season so far has been the potential extension of Jonathan Kuminga. Assuming the Warriors don’t end up using him as the centerpiece of a larger trade, they will turn their attention toward figuring out his second contract and how it will fit within their cap sheet moving forward.

The window to extend Kuminga opens on 7/6 and closes the day before the beginning of the regular season. If the Warriors wish to forgo having the restricted free agent market dictating the terms of his contract, as they did with Jordan Poole, they’ll have to get a deal done by this fall.

Estimating a Kuminga extension is a bit tricky. Entering into last year, Kuminga had showed heaps of raw potential, but was never able to carve out a consistent role in Kerr’s rotations. This past season he finally had a significant breakthrough, although that still did come with some continued growing pains. Kuminga saw stretches featuring in the starting lineup as a 20-point scorer amidst nights he would come off the bench and watch from the sideline during crucial moments of games. This is to say his next contract will be just as much of a reflection of his current ability as it will be a judgment on his future potential.

To get a sense of what Kuminga’s deal could look like a lot of people will naturally bring up Jordan Poole’s incentive-laden 4yr/$140M with a starting salary of $27.5M, $17M in incentives, and a pre-incentive average annual salary (AAV) of $30.8M. However, given Poole’s contributions as an established part of a championship team along with some other conditions around his extension, like Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro’s market-setting contract, it might not be the best starting point.

For a better comparison for Kuminga, I would use Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels who signed a 5yr/$136M last fall with a starting salary of $23M, $5M in incentives, and a pre-incentive $26.3M AAV. McDaniels who plays the same position, has already become a bonafide starter and elite defensive player for his team.

A point that Kuminga, albeit two years younger, is still a ways from reaching. Therefore this gives us a usable ceiling in terms of what an extension offer for Kuminga would look like. It seems unlikely the Warriors would be very comfortable surpassing that $23M (pre-incentive) starting point, and if Kuminga’s representation doesn’t find that suitable it may push them to test the market.

Other similar extensions: RJ Barrett (4yr/$120M - $26.8M AAV), Devin Vassell (5yr/$146M - $27M AAV), Cam Johnson (4yr/$112.5M - $23.6M AAV)

Moses Moody's Extension

On a smaller scale, the Warriors will also have to decide on how to approach Moses Moody’s future with the team this summer. Moody has spent the last four seasons frustratingly in out-of-lineups as he’s unsuccessfully tried to break his way into Steve Kerr’s rotation. As a result, he has become a popular name in trade rumors as one of the Warriors’ intriguing youngsters who just hasn’t been able to find his place. It feels like if the Warriors were to execute a trade, especially one on a smaller scale, Moody would be a good bet to be a part of that departing package.

However, if that doesn’t come to fruition, then the Warriors would be wise to start exploring an extension with Moody’s representatives in place of allowing him to test the market and potentially depart on a bloated offer sheet.

A good place to start with identifying the numbers on a Moody extension would be with another young NBA champion, who similarly had a frustrating time establishing a role with their drafted team, to the point they handed in a rare trade request last summer. That player would be Boston Celtics’ Payton Pritchard, who would go on to sign a 4yr/$30M extension that fall with a starting salary of $6.7M, no incentives, and an AAV of $7.5M. Pritchard eventually grew into a consistent role with the Celtics and has started to make that contract look like a bargain.

The Warriors would be well served to similarly lock up Moody on a 3-4 year deal around the $7M AAV value, which has seemed like a fair figure for rotation-level young players who haven’t quite carved out a role.

Other similar extensions: Nassir Little (4yr/$28M - $7M AAV), Ayo Dosunmu - 3yr/$21M ($7M AAV), & Miles McBride - 3yr/$13M ($4.3M AAV).

Quick Hits

Non-Guaranteed Youngsters: Gui Santos & Pat Spencer

Santos is starting the second year of a three-year deal and has a non-guaranteed $1,891,857 salary for next season with a league-standard 1/10/25 guarantee date. Given his low-level salary, late guarantee, and general fit/performance with the team, I would be shocked if he doesn't make it through training camp at the very least and will likely be on the roster next season as a deep reserve.

Spencer will be on the final year of this two-year two-way deal that is guaranteed for $75k and completely exempt from both the cap and luxury tax. I would definitely expect to see him in both the Summer League and Training Camp and he will likely begin the season on this two-way unless he gets beat out by three other players or impresses enough to earn a full roster spot.

Departing Free Agents: Dario Šarić, Jerome Robinson, & Usman Garuba

Šarić, who was seen as a bargain signing at the time, but struggled to carve out a consistent role on the team, is pretty unlikely to find his way back to the Warriors and most likely will try to rehabilitate his value elsewhere.

Robinson will enter free agency with the Warriors having the option to turn him restricted by tendering a $2,244,250 qualifying offer (guaranteed for $93,294) by 6/29. Given his performance last season and financial constraints, it's a foregone conclusion the Warriors do not tender him that offer. Robinson at age 27 is probably better off at this point testing his luck overseas.

Garuba is an interesting case. He would be eligible for a qualifying offer worth another two-way contract had the Warriors not chosen to convert his two-way at the end of the regular season in April into a standard contract. Now he will enter free agency with them having the option to turn him into a restricted free agent by tendering a fully guaranteed $2,368,944 qualifying offer by 6/29. Given the reasons outlined for Robinson, it seems likely the Warriors again wouldn't tender a QO in the situation. However, there is a minor caveat to consider.

Although Garuba himself has disputed this, reporting overseas suggests that he intends to sign a contract overseas with Real Madrid for the upcoming season. Therefore there might be some thought into extending the qualifying offer anyway, given that Garuba would have no intention of accepting since he'll be contracted with Madrid, for the sole purpose of retaining his right of first refusal in the NBA if he were to develop into a good player overseas and the Warriors wanted first dibs on him in that scenario (along with some other cap reasons). This is something the Toronto Raptors did with Nando De Colo for close to 7 consecutive years.

But because this is probably too technical and overly cumbersome in contrast to the benefit, my best guess would be the Warriors just opt against it.

Warriors Overseas: Nico Mannion & Justinian Jessup

Mannion will be entering his fourth offseason of having the Warriors tender him a two-way qualifying offer (guaranteed for $75k) to retain his right of first refusal in the NBA while he continues to play overseas. He is currently contracted to Varese in Italy until the end of next year, but does have an NBA-out clause in his deal.

Jessup after being sidelined in Australia with a pelvic injury for 5 months, just wrapped up a season in Germany playing for ratiopharm ulm alongside former Santa Cruz Warriors, Trevion Williams and L.J. Figueroa. He is currently a free agent pursuing his next opportunity.

It's unlikely at this point we will ever see him in a Warriors jersey, Summer League, Golden State, or otherwise. Although there was some noise about the Warriors offering him the opportunity to rehab his injury and finish the season playing in Santa Cruz last season. He declined, to give you any indication of how he feels about the organization.
