We can expect the Warriors to remain competitive this season, especially considering they owe a Top 4 protected 2024 first-round pick to the Trail Blazers. The logical solution to reducing their tax penalty is by trading Paul – Golden State’s top trade candidate, according to our Michael Scotto. Paul has a $30.8 million salary for this season and a non-guaranteed $30 million salary for 2024-25. Teams with plenty of space below the first apron would have to send $23.3 million out to match for Paul. Reducing Golden State’s payroll by $7.5 million would decrease their tax bill by $50 million, and they could save more if the Warriors can offload the players they receive. – Yossi Gozlan/HoopsHype #chrispaul #goldenstatewarriors #warriors #gsw #nba Socials: https://twitter.com/CyroAsseo https://www.instagram.com/cyroasseo/ DAILY NBA SHOW: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBDesOrrherhLV2GhZdn9Jw NFL Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJK3m3ugeQdmDnq1PHLy60Q Portfolio: www.cyroasseo.com Jersey swaps by: https://www.instagram.com/jerseyxswap/ Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!
