I'm intrigued by Trayce Jackson-Davis after watching the summer league games. He kind of reminds me of Kyle Anderson.

Not too surprising:
• Dunleavy confirmed that the Warriors’ financial goal is to get below the second apron ($17.5 million above the luxury-tax line) by next offseason, which would get them back their taxpayer midlevel exception among other benefits.“Yeah, I think so,” Dunleavy said. “It’s just so punitive in terms of what it can do with tying up picks and penalize you with (taking away) exceptions and things like that. It certainly makes a ton of sense for us to do it. Now if there’s an opportunity that puts us as maybe the top team in terms of contending for a championship but we have to go over the second apron to do it, I think it’s a discussion to be had. But right now, our planning will be toward getting under the second apron and staying there. As our roster is constructed right now, it’s doable.”

klay's was good again last season, but not as good at his level before the injuries. the long rehab/layoff took him out of his zone.

I think he’ll do a draymond type deal
― nobody respects the chair (Spottie), Saturday, 5 August 2023 02:14 (eight months ago) link
Yeah, the thing I've been reading is that if Klay takes paycut, the Warriors can still keep him and come in under the second apron. Whether that's the FO floating the idea to the press as a negotiating tactic, I dunno.
― Albert Canoe (Leee), Wednesday, 9 August 2023 20:20 (eight months ago) link
I mean at some point every player not named Steph will need to take a paycut or adjust expectations if they want to keep this core together. Draymond did this, I presume Klay will too - and the way Klay can negotiate is on an extra player option year like Dray.
I do expect that no extension will be signed before the off season though like Dray - I don't think GS wants to make the same mistake they did with Poole on Klay's next deal and will play the year out in case he regresses further or gets injured again. He should also understand that if he cares about actually winning, keeping his and Dray's contracts reasonable allows for them to continue to sign dudes like CP3 or multiple high end role players to keep the team in contention.
― octobeard, Wednesday, 9 August 2023 21:56 (eight months ago) link
if they sign klay to the same deal as dray theyd be ~16m below the second apron with only 11 players under contract so even adding a midlevel guy would be dicey
theyre on the hook for $160 next year + $24m for klay = $184, 2nd apron is $182 this year assume 10% increase for next is $200m
https://hoopshype.com/salaries/golden_state_warriors/
of course theres always moves to be made trades letting rookie contract guys go etc
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:03 (eight months ago) link
I was under the impression they could walk away from or renegotiate CP3 next year too. Also wouldn't the cap go up a bit too? They might be in a tough spot to resign Kuminga though
― octobeard, Thursday, 10 August 2023 18:07 (eight months ago) link
yeah cap goes up but theyre so far over it it doesnt matter, and you cant renegotiate or cut contracts theyre on the hook for cp3s ~30m, i mean they could do a buyout with him but theyd end up paying almost the full amount anyway
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 August 2023 18:12 (eight months ago) link
maybe they could stretch his contract not sure what the current deal with that is

― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 August 2023 23:01 (eight months ago) link
if they resign klay cutting cp3 next year wouldnt really help them get any more guys as theyd still be over the cap, however trading cp3 + something during the season could, particularly considering teams will be trying to get under the second apron for next year

Interesting article on Klay extension talks with respect to the team's and league's cap situation (the numbers are assuming that the roster is filled out with vet minimums and Paul is moved): https://theathletic.com/4882568/2023/09/25/warriors-klay-thompson-extension-talks-training-camp/

Expectation is that the salary cap bump is probably going to be somewhere in the 5-10% range, and because that's still in the air, the deal probably isn't going to be finalized for a while.

How's everybody feeling about this season?
I'm optimistic that the added offensive dimensions of CP3 and Saric will help get them to the top 3 in the west. Postseason success will as always depend on health and whether Klay and CP3 burn out again in the playoffs. Hoping at least one of Kuminga and Moody can make a third year leap but I'm assuming they're 9th and 10th on the depth chart for now so they're gonna have to earn their minutes. I guess Draymond's ankle sprain is good news for JK . Wouldn't be surprised if there's a roster shakeup before the trade deadline.
It's gonna be an interesting season! At least they're starting off with better vibes than last year.
― Chyiv Kyiv (Fetchboy), Sunday, 1 October 2023 23:23 (seven months ago) link
I’m not as optimistic but I agree it will be an interesting season! Saric is a good pickup. Not sure how much Paul has left in the tank…the Howard rumors + Rudy signing are a bit concerning wrt Dunleavy but I’m not totally up on their cap situation or w/e so I don’t really know what they have to work with. Just… sign fewer guys born in the 80s, please
― brimstead, Sunday, 1 October 2023 23:52 (seven months ago) link
Poole and DiVincenzo gave them a lot of minutes. Paul will help with playmaking but I think the second unit will struggle to score.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 2 October 2023 16:29 (seven months ago) link
its more like the bench units in the early years, slow the game down and hope to keep it even for when the main guys come back. wayy too much variance with poole last year.
