The Warriors wrote a column by Antony Slater to analyze the current situation faced by warriors in the free market during the off-season.
The reporter believes that the team cannot give a two-year base salary like the sun, the Lakers and other teams, which leads to the weakening of the team’s attractiveness. He took Eric Gordon’s signing with the sun as an example. The player finally signed a two-year contract with the sun, with sophomore options to make Gordon’s subsequent choices more flexible. Watanabe Xiong, Damien Lee, both Dior and Eubanks are similar.
However, the multi-year contract is not a contract form that Warriors are willing to accept. Take Gordon as an example, the veteran who has been in NBA for more than 10 years has a basic salary contract of 3.2 million dollars. If he only signs for one year, the NBA league will subsidize nearly half of the team’s salary, with only about $2.01 million included in the salary cap.
However, if it is a multi-year contract, all 3.2 million dollars will be included in the salary cap, plus the tax. If Warriors sign Gordon with the same multi-year base salary contract as the sun, then Warriors will spend 7 million dollars more.
