110 million yuan in maximum salary in two years, the Warriors become the team that failed in the offseason! Butler also finds it difficult to find the next one

More than half of the NBA offseason has passed, and one month has left. The training camp for the new season is about to begin. There are 30 teams in the league, except for the Warriors, all the other teams have successfully completed their tasks. They strengthen what should be strengthened and what should be played badly. According to Bay Area reporter Santas, on October 20, local time in the United States, the Warriors must submit a roster of at least 13 people to the league, which is also the day when the Kumingga team waits for the Warriors to "concessions". More importantly, the 13-man lineup submitted by the Warriors will be maintained for up to 2 weeks, and 14 people must be collected before the league can allow the Warriors to start the new season. Obviously, all the fingers are on Kuminga. The Warriors give Kuminga two options: a quotation of 7.9 million in one year and a 45 million in two years and a 2-year option to lead the team.

Kuminga gave the Warriors a clear attitude as early as early August: US$82 million in three years is the bottom line, with an average salary of about 27 million. Why this number? Kumingga and his team are obviously not casually asked! Let's start with the Warriors' salary next season. The Warriors' book salary next season is 170 million, with 9 official players + 1 two-way, specifically: Curry (59.61 million) + Butler (54.13 million) + Green (25.89 million) + Moody (11.57 million) + Hilde (9.22 million). The rest are basically basic salary: Podjemsky 3.68 million + Santos 2.22 million + Davis 2.22 million + Boster 1.96 million. The first luxury tax line in the new season is 196 million, and the second rich line is 208 million. If the Warriors agree to Kuming to add 82 million in three years, the Warriors' total salary will be stuck to the first rich line.

This means that you cannot sign first and then exchange. Many players who have been laid off cannot sign, the middle class special case shrinks, and the transaction special case will be frozen, etc. If you exceed the second rich line, then the middle class special case cannot be used, nor can you pack a group transaction, you cannot give cash in the transaction, and freeze draft picks, etc. To put it bluntly, Kumingjia's asking price is to force the Warriors to a desperate situation. He had already planned to leave and never wanted to come back, so he forced the team to trade himself! Because the Warriors can't just use 10 players to play in the new season, right? The Warriors didn't dare to operate all summer because as long as they use the special case of the middle class, whether they sign Horford, or split up Melton, Curry, or Payton, they will be directly defeated by the second rich man!

According to the calculations of salary experts, if all the players who reached a verbal agreement with the Warriors sign the contract in advance, the Nets only need to add a contract with an average salary of more than 22 million yuan, and the Warriors will not be able to match it, and they watch Kuminga leave! It was so failed. Even the ESPN column analyzed that in the past NBA history, there has never been a player with a rookie contract who directly stuck a team. But the problem is obviously not with Kumingga. He wants to leave, but the Warriors are unwilling to give him a contract that satisfies him. Why do you only blame Kumingga? Looking back at the Warriors' salary structure: Curry + Butler + Dream Chasing Green, the three of them earned 140 million yuan; Curry's salary league is the first in the league for 9 years, and Green's contract is not big, the key is Butler.

Butler was traded to the Warriors last season, which really made fans happy for half a season. He climbed all the way from tenth in the West in the regular season. After the All-Star Weekend, the Warriors' net efficiency value was third in the league. But in the playoffs, Butler, 36, has no longer had the courage to block the gods and kill gods two years ago, and averaged less than 20 points per game. Especially when Curry fell, Butler led the team to lose four games in a row, without a single shooting + offensive means, and also has hidden dangers in physical fitness. Judging from last season alone, Butler is indeed a hero to the Warriors, but what about the next two seasons? The annual salary next season is 54.13 million, and the annual salary in the 26-27 season is 56.83 million, and the average average is less than 20 points. Wiggins can do it, but Wiggins is only at 30 million. To put it bluntly, the Warriors were bound by Butler's big contract all summer!

, and Butler is also a direct competitor of Kumingga, so the Kumingga team was able to seize the Warriors' shortcomings. To compare it horizontally, the top 6 competitive teams in the Western Conference, Thunder, have proved themselves in the finals; the Rockets' Amen + Xiao Jia + Shen Jing + Ethan are expected to improve comprehensively next season, and Durant resolves the battle at critical moments; although the Nuggets' Murray performs ups and downs in normal times, he is good at playing key battles; the Clippers Harden guarantees the lower limit, and Paul and Bills help; the Lakers' second leader is James, but what about the Warriors? If Butler is positioned as the second in command of the team, can he ensure the lower limit of the team, or have stable attendance or data support to help Curry share the pressure? The key is that his contract is too big, dragging the Warriors into a deep pit!

Half a year ago, in order to trade Butler, the Heat almost asked all the league. At that time, only the Suns and the Warriors were interested, and in the end the Warriors were more sincere. Butler had no intention of the Warriors at first, and his 110 million maximum salary in two years made Butler change his mind and devote himself to it. But half a year later, especially after struggling to perform in the playoffs last season, can Butler be sent out? The troubles of injuries caused by lack of stable attendance; the playoffs also lost the ability to lead the team to break through the upper limit, and it was a small matter for the Warriors to lose a Kuminga, but in the next two years, Butler will become a real big trouble for the Warriors' management. Two years later, Curry is 40 years old. Don’t mention winning the championship anymore. You can directly rebuild it.
