The Warriors first contract renewal for offseason? Payton Jr. is willing to reduce his salary and stay in the team. Salary expert: Discount contract!

According to senior NBA insider @RobMurrows, the Warriors hope to keep Payton Jr. with a "discount contract" to continue to strengthen the depth of the outside defense and rotation.

Peton Jr.'s annual salary for the 2024-2025 season is US$9.13 million, and he is expected to receive a contract renewal with an annual salary of US$350-500.

Payton Jr. set a record high in his personal career in the regular season last season, averaging 15.0 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, shooting percentage: 57.4%, and three-point shooting percentage: 32.6%.

Peiton Jr. said at the Warriors press conference that he hoped he could play for a few more years, and it would be best if he could stay with the Warriors to play. He loved this team and also liked to play under Cole.

This contract extension is expected to be the last contract in Payton's career. After all, Payton is already 32 years old this year. Payton is not the kind of guard who is good at scoring or organization. After he is 35 years old, it is difficult for him to get a contract in the NBA through defense.
