Escalating contract would be huge. Same with the incentives being more likely past the 23-24 season. Would make the contract much more digestible

New media rights negotiations gonna make this a steal.

What's got you thinking the incentives are after that year?

Between Herro's deal being escalating (hate that he's the main comp for Poole, already feel like Poole is better and has way more upside) and the fact that you want young players that you expect to improve to be on escalating deals so their last year is the highest of the deal and gives the best number to build a potential extension on I'm almost sure when everything comes out it's gonna be an escalating deal

Warriors gotta figure out the next two years after this one before they benefit from that on this deal and with their tax situation in general because the new media deal doesn't start until 25-26 and they're already set to have an insane bill these last two years

More so meant that I was hoping they would be considered likely after the 23-24 year which is when they are counted against the cap

If the incentives are all-nba or all star based we’d be ecstatic for him to hit those. Not sure what else would qualify for a 20m contract increase

Extension got me thinking maybe it’s Wiggins last year rather than Draymond’s

Nah

Wiggins in his prime at the most sought after position in the league, shown he can be an elite defender at that position, can shoot, get his own shot (not elite at this but even being decent at this off the wing is helpful), only becoming more and more familiar with the Warriors system and a new contract would take him through most of his prime

FO definitely making it a priority to keep him on the team

Right but because of that it will be hard to get him for a price point that Lacob can sign off on

Whereas Draymond realistically commands a smaller salary

WIGGS BACK ALREADY

Why you respond to your post with this

So let’s take a quick look at it. This is on a per-season basis, in place for each of the four years.

Poole will make an extra $250,000 if he plays at least 65 regular-season games and the Warriors reach the first round of the playoffs.

Poole will make an extra $250,000 if he plays at least 65 regular-season games and the Warriors reach the second round of the playoffs.

Poole will make an extra $250,000 if he plays at least 65 regular-season games and the Warriors reach the conference finals.

Poole will make an extra $250,000 if he plays at least 65 regular-season games and the Warriors reach the NBA Finals.

Poole will make an extra $250,000 if he plays at least 65 regular-season games and the Warriors win at least 52 regular-season games.

The NBA has deemed all five of those as likely incentives, meaning they will initially be counted against the salary cap in Poole’s projected number but won’t count against the actual tax bill unless he meets the required incentive.

But those only make up $1.25 million of the extra $4.25 million per season in incentives lining the Poole contract extension. The other four incentives are considered unlikely and don’t count against the initial salary-cap number. Here they are on a per-season basis, also in place for each of the four years.

Poole will make an extra $1 million if he wins MVP.

Poole will make an extra $1 million if he wins Defensive Player of the Year.

Poole will make an extra $500,000 if he makes any of the three All-NBA teams.

Poole will make an extra $500,000 if he makes any of the two All-Defensive teams.

LET'S GOOOOO

Slater mentioned he had a documentary crew filming him for this on a podcast but I assumed it was scrapped...for it to still be on AND include stuff about him punching Poole....

Man this was a whole lot of nothing

Zero self awareness to put out something that's probably gonna enflame the situation more and it's not even good

love that we value development over seeding, getting to watch the youngsters mature is gonna make the reg season infinitely more watchable

so glad nbas back man fr

Gotta find time for Moody

The Kuminga/JG/Wiseman lineups gotta go too

I didn't watch the fourth...tf happened

Please be more consistent in transition defense and stop the lazy fouling, a lot of this is just attention to detail smh
