The Warriors now face a problem...
Jordan Poole is now on a four-year, 10.09 million rookie contract, signed in 2019 and set to expire in 2023.
Tea Jordan was selected by the Warriors with the 28th pick in the first round of 2019, because the draft pick is not high, so the rookie contract is not large, and the average annual salary is almost 2.2 million. Definitely a sweet period, low salary and high energy.
This season, Poole averaged 28.8 minutes per game, 5.6 of 12.7 shots, 6.9 shots of 2.3 from 3 points, and was able to get 16.4 points, 3.1 boards and 3.5 assists, and when Klay had not yet returned, Tea Jordan was definitely the Warriors' second scoring point, and when Curry was in the downturn, Tea Tea could even become the first scoring point.
Although after Clay's comeback, Poole returned to the bench. But for the Warriors, whose benches have always been weak, how to retain Poole after the rookie contract has become a very big problem.
According to warriors reporter Concor Letourneau, the Warriors will sign a multi-year early contract extension with Tea Jordan this summer to avoid him becoming a restricted free agent in 2023, and then a team will come out to stir up the water and raise The Poole's value.
Once you become a restricted free agent, there may be a team to give a high price, although the Warriors can follow up the offer, but it is easy to give a "garbage contract" higher than Poole's original value, and the Spurs like to do this kind of "bar-raising" thing the most.
Poole: When you say that, I'd like to wait until 2023 to see what the surprises are.
Another reporter, Keith Smith, predicted that the Warriors might give Poole a contract of almost 4 years and 80 million yuan, suddenly doubling his value by 8 times, and the NBA is indeed a miracle place.
But if the Warriors give Poole a four-year, 80 million contract, does that mean they won't renew Wiggins?
Wiggins' contract expires in 2023 and he currently earns more than $30 million a year.
Surely the Warriors can't sign a 20 million Pooler after having 50 million Curry, 40 million Klay, 30 million Wiggins and 27 million dreams at the same time?
So if Poole is given an early contract extension of 20 million yuan a year this summer, it basically means that Wiggins will be traded or will not be renewed after the contract expires in 2023.
Otherwise, these 5 people alone will have a combined annual salary of more than 160 million, and this luxury tax must not be fried.
Of course, even if the Warriors do not renew Poole, it is estimated that wiggins will not be able to retain wiggins after 2023, the warriors can not give a big contract, wiggins can not accept a contract of about 20 million.
This year, Wiggins averaged 17.7 points per game, 4.2 boards and 2.1 assists, and was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.
You look at this year's All-Star starters, what is the value?!
James 41 million
Jokic 31 million
Curry 45 million
Morant Grizzlies are ready to give 5 years 207 million
Durant 42 million
Embiid 31 million
Alphabet brother 39 million
DeRozan 26 million
Blowing Yang just got 170 million in 5 years
Wiggins, who had an annual salary of $30 million when he wasn't an All-Star yet, is it possible to accept a contract of less than $30 million after becoming an All-Star?
Bold estimates, if the Warriors renew Poole early this summer, it is likely to trade Wiggins, of course, all under the premise that the Warriors failed to win the championship this year.
If the Warriors fail to win the championship this year, then the trade with Wiggins is very favorable, after all, now is the best time to trade him, and he can also sell the highest value.
In other words, the Warriors' reinforcement task this summer is not small, and almost all of the role players in their squad have expired this summer, including Kevin Looney, Otto Porter, Bjelica, Damien Lee, Juan Toscano Anderson, and Payton III.
At that time, the Warriors will face the heavy task of replenishing an entire bench, and perhaps the trade with Wiggins can get a lot of reinforcements, which is the most satisfactory.
