2 years of maximum salary of 110 million, butler s maximum salary contract traps the Warriors, maybe you should leave

The new season's regular season is getting closer and closer, and many teams are about to start training camps, and the preseason will also kick off in early October, but there is still no progress on Kumingga here. The team has only 9 people on the roster, with a total salary of US$170.5 million. In the more than two months of striking with Kumingga, the Warriors kept raising the offer to US$75.2 million in three years, but they hope that Kumingga would give up the trade veto power + player option and take the team option in the third year, but Kumingga is still not happy. In the previous article, we also analyzed what the problem of this farce was (there is an opposition and contradiction between the boss Ragb and Cole in the coaching team), because as long as Cole is there, Kumingga will not be able to stand out with the Warriors, and he would rather waste a season on his own and he will be free.

And the deep contradiction is like an equilateral triangle, Curry stands in the middle, and he is the Warriors' signature. The three peaks are that Lagbu is reluctant to let Kumingga go, and hopes to keep Kumingga through communication and continuous improvement of contract quotations; the Warriors management must serve the team boss and meet the boss's requirements, and on the other hand, serve the coaching team, but because of limited salary space, the team led by Dunleavy Jr., with 75.2 million in three years, is the maximum they can offer; the third peak is Cole, who clearly excludes Kumingga and believes that he cannot coexist with Curry and Butler. The three parties restrict each other and after reaching a balance, the wheel can no longer move. But there is another problem that bothered everyone in the Warriors.

8 months ago, when the Heat publicly sold Butler, the Raptors in the East, the Bucks in the West, the Suns in the West, and the Nuggets had all had scandals with Butler. The Warriors were in a very awkward situation at that time. After Cuminga fell down due to injury, Curry led the team to fall to 11th in the Western Conference. The Bay Area media began to question Cole and Curry, but Curry said that the team needed to strengthen; at that time Butler was not interested in joining the Warriors (the original words of the team reporter Slater, Butler hoped to join a competitive team). However, when the Warriors offered a maximum salary of 110 million yuan for two years, Butler immediately changed his attitude and expressed his willingness to join the Warriors. When the Warriors and the Heat reached a deal, Butler bluntly stated at the meeting that he would lead the team to compete for the championship with Curry.

Butler's salary in the new season is 54.13 million, and 56.83 million in the 26-27 season. Butler just turned 36 years old. How much energy does he have? Established last season when the Heat were paddling, when he came to the Warriors, Butler averaged 18 points (7.7 free throws) per game, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists in the regular season, and once led the team back to the top four in the Western Conference; but in the playoffs, Butler averaged 19.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 44% + 30% in both events. Especially when Curry fell, Butler led the team to lose four games in a row, and his efficiency and performance were not as good as Kumingga. First of all, Butler was indeed very strong when he was young, especially in the playoffs. In 23 years, he led the Heat from the edge of the playoffs to the finals, including the 20-year Bubble Park to the Finals, and Butler made an indelible contribution.

Secondly, Butler is a very smart player, and he basically looks for misplacement when holding the ball. What impressed me was that he played at the end of the regular season last season, and he stared at Powell and Bogdan bullying and did not dare to make a mistake against Leonard. Facing some good defenders, Butler doesn't even have the desire to attack. But it is obvious that Butler's future maximum salary contract and his data support are obviously incompatible. It is even a big problem whether Butler can maintain health in the future, because in the Heat's seasons, he played the role of regular season so that he can get physically out of the playoffs. But at the Warriors, Curry is 38 years old and Green is 36 years old. The rest are role players. Butler is getting older and older and has not yet shot!

To put it bluntly, Butler chose the Warriors because he valued a maximum salary of 110 million yuan. He was full by himself. As for the championship, it may not be that important. But Butler was full and the Warriors were about to part with each other! In Los Angeles media, the salary structure of the Warriors lineup is the most unhealthy in the league, no doubt about it. Next season, Curry, 38, has 59.61 million, he is the banner of the Warriors and deserves it; next season, Green, 36, has 25.89 million, not high, the team's spiritual leader + locker room talker; but Butler's salary of 54.13 million, what role should he play? After these three people ate 140 million, the fourth highest salary for the team is Moody's 11.57 million. To put it bluntly, even if the Warriors want to trade Kumingga, they have to deal with Moody's or Hilde based on base annual compensation.

There is not even a decent trading chip! It seems that the Warriors were delayed by Cumingga. The boss Ragb and coach Kerr have different attitudes towards Cumingga. In fact, Butler has blocked the Warriors' future, especially in the last few years of Curry's career. Butler has never been a player who can be high in attendance to ensure the lower limit of the team, but Butler is not. There must be someone playing this role, and it can only be Curry. But what if Curry falls? The script became last season again, and Butler had no limit on leading the team, and even the basic score could not be guaranteed. The Warriors have ten thousand reasons to stay at Kumingga, but Butler is indeed time to leave the Warriors.
