Golden State Warriors: 2023 Salary Cap Breakdown
Updated Look at Team's Financial Position
The Golden State Warriors are primed to defend their NBA title with a hefty payroll of $367 million, according to an updated salary cap table released by the league. The team's cap space is dead even, meaning they have no wiggle room to add additional players without making trades or cutting salaries.
Key Contract Details
The Warriors' most expensive player is Stephen Curry, who is set to earn $48.1 million this season. Klay Thompson is not far behind, with a salary of $43.2 million. Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney round out the team's top earners, with salaries of $27.6 million, $24.3 million, and $20.5 million, respectively.
The Warriors have several players on expiring contracts, including Thompson, Wiggins, and Looney. This gives the team some flexibility to reshape their roster in the offseason, if they choose to do so.
Challenges Ahead
Despite their financial strength, the Warriors face some challenges ahead. The team is aging, with Curry, Thompson, and Green all over 30 years old. They also have a limited amount of draft capital, meaning they will have to rely on free agency or trades to improve their roster.
The Warriors' pursuit of a repeat title will be a difficult one, but they have the financial resources and the talent to make it happen.
