The Golden State Warriors are in a financial pickle. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. We’ve only been talking about it a few times a day for the last five months.
After executing an unlikely sign-and-trade for D’Angelo Russell, the Warriors find themselves hard capped, meaning the league has put a limit on how much money Golden State can spend on salaries. That hard cap has kept the team from adding the 15th player that they would otherwise be allowed to have.
It also keeps them from converting Ky Bowman or Damion Lee from two-way contracts to guaranteed contracts - at least for now.
