So, in order to keep up with his championship team, the Warriors will need to make decisions as quickly as possible because the Dubs will have their 28th Draft pick waiting for an offer to be made, while players like Jordan Poole will fight for their fair share in terms of salary.
Also, the repeater luxury tax comes into the picture. This means, that because the Dubs have paid the luxury tax in the three previous seasons, the NBA’s tax formula will keep changing for the Bay Area franchise as it adds an extra dollar to the count for every dollar spent above the limit.
If this wasn’t enough the Warriors future comes along with players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green as veteran players with huge salaries and the second generation players like Jordan Poole, James Wiseman and Andrew Wiggins will try to close out new deals to secure his nearfuture.
