Or they are planning to trade a lot and some kind of rebuilding? The Warriors people must be considering Curry's age factor and plan these moves accordingly, of course. I'm rather curious about where will GSW be in 5 years, 10 years. Of course it is very very hard to predict but I mean what kind of team they are thinking to build.
Some franchise broke their team to avoid high luxury taxes in the past but I doubt this is what the Warriors is planning. They will let go of other players for sure but their future line up is quite secured with Wiggins and Poole in my opinion. They will do just fine post Steph and Klay era.
Fortunately for GSW, they are raking in money right now because of Steph Curry. Fans are willing to pay high priced tickets just to watch them play. GSW will make more money than the luxury tax they are paying. It is still good business for them as long as they keep winning.
They do not have to break the team, but they do have to let go of some good players in order to make space for their young cores. Earlier, they let go of Gary Payton II even though he was really good last season, especially in defense. It still worked out for Payton though because he still got a good contract with Blazers. I just hope they made the right decision choosing Poole and Wiggins to anchor their future.
I'm sure Draymond Green won't exercise his player option next year and will finish his contract with the Warriors until becoming a UFA. I'm also speculating that we won't see any trades involving him in the off-season next year.
I wonder where would Green go after GSW. He is not actually a player that could produce by himself. He needs a good system that can exploit his talents and he needs teammates that compliment his playstyle in order to be effective.
