The Golden State Warriors paid a hefty price to initially bring in 25-year-old Kelly Oubre Jr. Their luxury tax penalty was not pretty after trading for Oubre Jr., but they apparently are still looking to retain the guard.

The problem is that Oubre Jr.’s price may be a little too steep for the Warriors, a team already pressed tightly against the salary cap with Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green all on max-value deals.
