According to US media reports, the Warriors will sign a contract with Poole in advance this summer, which is about 80 million US dollars for 4 years.
The Warriors are supposed to do this to avoid making Poole a restricted free agent in the summer of 2023, next summer. That way, Poole can accept offers from any team, while the Warriors can only choose to match the offer contracts of other teams if they want to keep Poole. Judging by Poole's current performance, if he gets an offer from another team next summer, the contract is definitely not low.
To this end, the Warriors will choose to sign Poole early this summer in order to make themselves passive next summer. And poole, who is in third grade, can indeed qualify for early contract renewal this summer.
If the Warriors offer Poole a four-year, $80 million contract, then in terms of Poole's performance, the contract is still profitable for the Warriors.
This season, Poole has averaged 16.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and he has had many outstanding performances when he starts with Curry before Thompson returns. Whether it is facing the Lakers with James, Davis and Westbrook, or facing the Suns, Nets and other teams, Poole has had a strong performance. Moreover, he was born in 1999 and has potential to tap, so a contract with an average annual salary of $20 million is not high for Poole.
You know, the NBA's salary cap is now rising, the player's contract is also increasing, and more and more players can get a long contract of $20 million in annual salary, not to mention the young guard like Pooler who has played a price this season and has room for improvement.
Whether Poole is willing to renew his contract with the Warriors in advance may have to be seen again. After all, Poole also has to make choices to maximize his own interests, and if he waits until next summer, he may get a bigger contract.
