We have to admit that the Warriors will renew Poole, Wiggins and Green early has attracted a lot of fans and media attention.
As things stand, the Warriors' management does intend to keep Poole, Wiggins and Green at the same time to preserve the integrity of the championship-contending roster.
It's just that due to problems such as the team's luxury tax and salary space, the Warriors have not made any substantial progress in renewing these three heroes!
Fortunately, with the new regular season approaching, Poole and Wiggins finally made a breakthrough in renewing their contracts with the Warriors early.
According to official Warriors, the team has signed guard Jordan Poole to a four-year, $140 million early contract extension.
In addition, the Warriors officially announced that the team has also signed forward Andrew Wiggins to a 4-year, $109 million early contract extension!
It is reported that of Jordan Poole's four-year, $140 million early renewal contract, the guarantee amount is $123 million, and the remaining $17 million is an incentive clause.
After Wiggins reached an early contract extension with the Warriors, the contract amount was extended to 5 years and $143 million, and the final 1 year was included with a player option!
Playing for the Warriors last season, Poole played in 76 regular season games, averaging 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4 assists in 30 minutes per game.
In 22 games in the playoffs, Poole averaged 28 minutes per game and also averaged 17 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game!
Last season, Wiggins played well with the Warriors, averaging 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 73 regular season games.
In the playoffs, Wiggins is still playing well, averaging 35 minutes per game, contributing 16.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block!
More importantly, according to statistics, Wiggins and Poole were the top two players who played the most minutes on the Warriors last season, which can indeed be said to be a hard work.
Obviously, for the Warriors who are aiming to defend the title in the new season, considering the role and importance of Wiggins and Poole, it is naturally understandable that the Warriors want to renew these two!
In contrast, after Wiggins and Poole reached an early contract extension with the Warriors, Green's early contract extension plan seems to have stalled.
After all, after renewing Poole and Wiggins, according to salary expert Bobby Marks, the Warriors' total spending for the 2023-24 season has reached $483 million.
And if Green executes its $27.6 million player option, the Warriors will pay $215 million in player salaries next season, as well as a $268 million luxury tax!
Coupled with the conflict with Jordan Poole, rationally speaking, there are indeed a lot of variables and uncertainties in Chasing Green's desire to get a big contract from the Warriors!
On the other hand, after basically solving the problem of early contract extensions for Poole, Wiggins and Green, the Warriors' operation on the roster for the new season has also made good progress.
According to the Warriors' official sources, the team has cut Jerome Robinson and Pat Spencer 2 and converted the contracts of Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb to two-way contracts.
During this year's preseason, Ty Jerome played in two games for the Warriors, averaging 9 minutes per game and scoring 4 points and 1.5 assists.
Anthony Lamb played in 3 games for the Warriors, averaging 12 minutes per game, scoring 2.7 points and 3 rebounds!
For the Warriors, 24-year-old Anthony Lamb and 25-year-old Ty Jerome are very young players and are indeed worthy of the Warriors' bet.
More importantly, after converting the contracts of Lamb and Jerome to two-way contracts, the Warriors' 14+2 roster is also officially released, and there is still 1 standard contract left!
As for how the Warriors will use this last 1 standard contract to recruit and strengthen in the future, we seem to have to wait and see!
