The first place in the salary league for 9 consecutive years, and you can sign a maximum salary of 137 million in 2 years! The Warriors may really be rebuilt
4:19pm, 16 August 2025Basketball
There are more than two months left before the opening of the regular season of the 25-26 season. Many teams are in an arms race this summer. The Clippers + Nuggets + Rockets in the West are adding to the depth of the lineup and elevating the upper limit, and the Magic in the East are also preparing for the game. It is certain that with the fall of the Celtics and Pacers, the main competitors in the Eastern Conference are concentrated in the three teams of the Cavaliers + Knicks + Magic in the new season, while the West is in chaos. The Thunder successfully retained all the winning frameworks and also renewed the contract with the three giants Alexander + Jewish + Homgren with a super maximum salary in the offseason, and there is at least two years of winning window. In addition, only James and Durant have expired contracts for the last season, and are now in an awkward situation.
Of course, many teams are also focusing on next summer. According to ESPN calculations, by the next offseason, 10 teams including the Clippers and the Lakers will have huge salary space, because next summer, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Durant, James, and Trae Young may all become free agents, and the entire market is full of imagination. But there is a team that doesn't even have the qualifications to imagine. They will achieve nothing this summer, the Warriors. I won't go into details about Kumingga's news. Kumingga has a desperate mentality. Even if the Warriors can still sign Horford + Melton + Curry Jr. + Payton Jr. + Brogdon. In fact, this lineup is too old, the lineup is not high enough, and there are too many shortcomings. Curry and the Warriors, and tomorrow Xia also face the problem of mutual choice.
Start with Curry's salary. Curry's annual salary next season is US$59.61 million. Since entering the league, Curry received a "child labor-level" salary in his first two contracts. From the 2017-18 season to the present, Curry has been ranked first in the league for 9 consecutive years! From the original $34.68 million, it almost rose along with the salary cap upper limit, which is his absolute value. After all, Curry has increased the Warriors' market value by 20 times, and led the Warriors to establish their own dynasty in 8-year four championships. In the 26-27 season, Curry's salary was 62.59 million US dollars, still the first in the league, but Curry's contract has no player option, which means that in the offseason next summer, the Warriors management faces a must-have question, renewing Curry. According to the "38-year-olds-old clause", Curry can sign up to 2 years of US$136.7 million.
In other words, if the Warriors renew their contract, Curry will get 66.04 million in the 27-28 season, and then $70.66 million in the 28-29 season, Curry will be at least 41 years old. what does that mean? First of all, the premise is that as long as Curry does not retire voluntarily, he must be at the top salary level in the league. Previously, Bay Area team reporter Slater also said that Curry did not face similar situations as James's last career, such as the team did not intend to renew his contract. But the objective situation of the Warriors is indeed very complicated. Butler is over 36 years old and has a maximum salary of 110 million yuan. Green has two years and 53 million yuan left, and the contract period is consistent with Curry. The question is, what if Curry renews his contract, Butler and Zhu Meng Green will do? Curry is worth the maximum salary, but Butler may not be!
includes the value attributes that Dream-Chasing Green can only reflect that Curry relies on it. Needless to say, how the Warriors will be when Curry renews his contract in two years, just for next season, these trio will have a salary of 140 million yuan. Even if the Warriors lineup plays 15 people, the trio's salary will account for more than 70%! It's just a matter of time before Kumingga's departure. Moody was trained as a system tool guy. The only one in the lineup is Podjemsky, who is different from the regular season and the playoffs. The Warriors will have only two endings next season: Curry and Butler try hard to make a bottom line, which means that the risk of injury between the two elderly people has risen sharply. Especially Butler, he even lost his core weapon last season and did not work in the playoffs; or he was stumbling around in the regular season and was struggling to compete for a ticket, with a lower probability.
renewal of Curry is a must-do question, but when Butler has no trading market, the Warriors have no room to operate the team. The best example is to be stumbling by Cumingga this offseason; don't forget that Green will also be 36 years old next season. He is a qualified locker room leader, but the main premise is that Curry exists. So is the Warriors likely to compete for the championship? Several US media listed the Warriors as the playoff team next season, the same as the Spurs, Mavericks and Grizzlies, but the top six are probably not allowed to enter. This means that the probability of the first outcome is greater. If this ending is the next season, combined with the Big Three, what about the future? In fact, the answer is obvious. Curry's two-year contract will be locked in a super maximum salary, but the Warriors should reduce the burden! The best news for the Warriors is that the first round picks in the future are in their own hands (from 26 to 29 years, including the first round pick in 31 years, only the Wizards have the Warriors who have 20 picks in 30 years to protect the first round pick). Cole once said that he is not good at cultivating young people. If Curry hadn't been to Curry, he would have been dismissed from the position of Warriors coach. In the past few years, Wiseman, Poole, and Kumingga, who are about to leave the team, the Warriors do not raise young people. To put it bluntly, it is an opposition between new and old players. But in the future, the Warriors only have this last path: release Butler's salary space, Green cuts his salary, Curry should really bring the Warriors young people to rebuild the team, and have the last chance to win the championship next season, and then rebuild with peace of mind.
