so they are basically paying 4-1 tax right now....every marginal dollar is really like spending 5 dollars basically.
This year- and probably (but not for sure) next year, and i think that we have most likely seen the big 4 era end in GSW. If I HAD TO BET i would say there is 2 more years of the Big 4---- unless Durant gets happy feet or Klay goes for big money and then only 1.
Another team can offer Klay 4 years 139 million, or just about 35M per year.
Say he takes a 5 million dollar discount to stay with the Warriors and takes 30M a year.
He makes about 18.5 this year. That difference is, of course, 11.5M. With a repeater tax penalty of 4.25:1 - that 11.5M dollar increase for Klay would represent about a total expenditure of an ADDITIONAL 50M or so for the Warriors- just to keep Klay at his heightened salary.
Assume something similar for Draymond once he becomes a free agent--- prob. an addiitonal 50M just to keep the status quo- all else being equal.
Iggy is still signed for what? this year and next year? so its not like he is going to leave soon and give them cap relief.
