The Warriors bosses in the NBA can be said to be famous for their "big money", in order to get Durant' superstar, they did not hesitate to pay a high luxury tax, and the result of the big gamble also ushered in the 5th and 6th championship trophies in team history. Their total salary remains the league's top salary at $175.9 million this season, while the $170 million luxury tax to be paid is also the highest in the league.
At present, the Salary Space of the Warriors is about to explode, and the salaries of Curry and Klay will reach 40 million next season (Curry 48.07 million, Klay 40.6 million), and the salaries of Dream Chaser and Wiggins are also 25.81 million and 33.62 million, respectively, which means that next season the Warriors will have 4 players with salaries of more than 25 million, in this case, they still seem to be planning to renew the contract of Jordan Pooler, who ushered in a big outbreak this season.
Recently, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Letourneau report, the Warriors will try to renew jordan poole for many years this summer, this contract extension will be about 80 million for 4 years, that is to say, Poole's average salary will get 20 million, so that the Warriors will have 5 players salary next season to 20 million, and Poole is likely to get this fat contract as a substitute, have to make people sigh, the Warriors are really "trench inhuman". After being picked by the Warriors with the 28th pick in the first round in 2019, Poole has been with the team for 3 years, and in the past 3 years, Poole's statistics have been rising every season, from averaging 8.8 points per game in the rookie season to contributing a career-best 16.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists this season, making him the Warriors' No. 4 scorer.
If it is not Klay's injury, Poole estimates that it is difficult to usher in the day of the Turnaround in the Warriors, in the first two seasons of his career, he has benefited from Clay's absence, so he has been sitting in the main rotation position of the team, and this season after Klay's return, Poole also gave up the starting position, more are the role of the sixth person, if you want to play such a main substitute role player, to offer an average salary of 20 million fat, the Warriors this move is really some luxury. After all, the team now has the two absolute cores of the Splash Brothers in the backcourt, and Poole's shooting rights will be severely limited to a large extent, and if he really rushes to send him this 4-year fat contract, it is likely that if he has not officially begun to fulfill his contract next season (Poole has a 3.9 million team option rookie contract next year), the Warriors will begin to regret it.
But at this point in time, the Warriors plan to renew Pooler, but also shows the importance the team attaches to him, but the average salary of 20 million, to be honest, is indeed a little expensive, according to the market situation of Pooler's current average of 16 points per game, 12-15 million may be a suitable price, but not afraid of high luxury taxes of the Warriors, if you really send him a fat contract, it is not impossible, it depends on whether the team has the courage to gamble. Pooler, who is only 22 years old at present, has a good chance to become the main player of the team in the case of the splash brothers gradually aging, but it depends on whether he can survive the difficult days of these years.
Of course, there are not a few teams like the league that have spent thousands of dollars to finally gamble, and the Brooklyn luxury battleship composed of Pierce, Garnett, Delong, and Joe Johnson is a typical example, so this time to renew Pooler, the Warriors management should still think twice.
