|
|
Can someone explain to me how the Warriors are able to sign Curry for 5/201, Livingston for 3/28mil, and Iguodala for 3/48 mil and still afford to sign Durant?
What am I missing here? I thought Iguodala was for sure gone this offseason.
What is Durant going to sign for now? |

A huge discount. Durant took almost ten million less than the max to get his teammates paid and keep the key guys from last year's run. Huge props to him. |

What is Durant going to sign for now? | My guess it's a timing / ordering issue. I believe Warriors have bird rights and can go over the cap Curry, Livingston, and Iguodala. That means they have to be under the cap for Durant to sign.
Step 1 would be to sign Curry, Livingston, Iguodala to their new contract IF the new annual salary is less than the caphold.
Step 2 Sign Durant with cap space
Step 3 Sign Curry, Livingstong, Iguodala to their new contract IF the new annual salary is more than the caphold.
This is my best guess. |

what I want to know is how does Durant feel about taking the hit on his salary while Curry is getting the biggest contract in NBA history???
I mean, Curry could have taken less right? Spread the shortfall around a bit?? _________________ Never argue with stupid people! They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!! - Twain |

Me knows Curry's way below max contract up to now helped bring him in and build that team. He will get his, and has already gotten a ton more than curry. _________________ “We must always take sides.
