Will the Warriors follow the footsteps of the Sun? Butler s 60 million contract may become the last straw

The salary explosion, the record is sluggish, the aging of stars, and the lack of reconstruction resources... This is a true portrayal of the Suns this season, and it is also likely that the Warriors will face next.

Warriors lineup

① Salary issue

Starting next year, Curry will have 62.59 million, Butler will have 60 million, and Green will have 27.67 million. The salary of three people has exceeded 150 million! ! In addition, only Hilde and Bogers have contracts left in the Warriors with 9.66 million yuan, and Bogers have 5.68 million yuan; Moody's, Kumingga, Payton Jr., and Rooney all need to renew their contracts. Regardless of whether the Warriors stayed with Kumingga (renewed or signed first and then exchange), the total salary would easily exceed the 200 million mark!

The Warriors Big Three

The stars are aging

Next year, Curry, Butler and Green will reach 110 years old together! And such as Hilder, Payton Jr., and Rooney will all be over 30+. Aging brings about a complete degradation of athletic ability, defensive strength, and fighting ability. If the Warriors do not replenish fresh blood, the team's record will inevitably decline.

Kuminga

The lack of reconstruction resources is restricted by the previous transaction terms. The Warriors will no longer have high-quality draft resources in the past three years, and can only rely on Taobao for the second round of picks. Even if the time has been extended to 2032, the Warriors have only 2028 and 2032 in the past seven years, and the rest of the first rounds are subject to transaction protection clauses; and the growth of young players such as Kumingga, Moody's, and Bojie, who were originally highly anticipated, is far less than expected, especially Kumingga, who can almost confirm his departure next season. The Warriors' reconstruction resources can be said to be quite scarce.

Butler

Butler is indeed hard, and he is indeed more capable than Mouth Brother, but now he does not seem to have brought too much to the Warriors except this. After all, he is already 35 years old and is no longer the superstar who led the Heat to the Finals. But his arrival, especially his two-year, 120 million contract, will completely block the team's salary space and may become the last straw that will crush the Warriors.
