The Golden State Warriors finished this season in vain.

According to reporter Jack Lowe of ESPN, the Golden State will not enter into a major overhaul.

Golden State's season is over, but Stephen Curry is still in good shape. Based on him, who is the best active player, he plans to reorganize the battlefield again.

a dwindling amount of spending
Clay Thomson and Chris Paul's contracts are also expiring. For reference, their total salary for this season is about $74 million. The expiration of their contract will drastically reduce their total salary for the upcoming 2024-2025 season. As contracts with those who had to play a pivotal role in the team but failed to pay properly throughout the season are finalized, they are expected to cut spending and reorganize their power.

Golden State had to endure more than $206 million this season alone, but its total salary will decrease to less than $150 million next season. The simple total salary does not reduce the total salary because most of the players under contract, including Curry, will see their salaries increase slightly next season. As a result, their spending will be reduced to $144 million.

That's not all. Except for Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green, most players' contracts expire at the end of next season. The total salary is higher than the salary cap estimate (about $141 million), but it is positive that the spending has been cut below the luxury tax line. If only next season passes, the Golden State's spending will be even smaller.

In other words, even if he takes a break next season, he can recruit players aggressively next summer. Realistically, the total salary for next season exceeds the previously calculated salary cap, making it difficult to recruit players from outside. However, given that he has avoided luxury tax for the first time in a while, it is positive that he can give more breathing space to the team's management. It is expected that the club's leadership will also be considering this.

There are variables. If Golden State trades Wiggins for Green, the story could be different. It would be perfect if they were sent and added more effective power. However, it is questionable realistically whether any club wants Green, who has caused controversy again this season. Wiggins has been underperforming too much this season. Most of all, they are all under contract until the 2026-2027 season.

If you trade at least one of Wiggins or Green, you will be able to cut spending and change your power. Wiggins, who is in his late 20s, is more valuable as a trading card than Green, who is in his mid-30s. However, Wiggins averaged only 13.2 points, his lowest since entering the NBA this time. Records have fallen in all categories. It remains to be seen whether there will be a team to find him.

Possibility of an extension contract with a person who is expected to expire
Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are among those whose rookie contracts expire next season at Golden State. Kuminga has achieved rapid growth this season. He averaged only 9.9 points last season, but he is also considered a candidate for the skill development award as he scored 16.1 points this season alone. Considering that he is now in his 20s, it is safe to say that there is more potential for growth.

However, his shortcomings were also clear. The limitations of playing as a small forward were always revealed. There are many restrictions on dribbling and it is not easy to take advantage of mobility. As a result, he was more effective when playing as a power forward. However, considering that Wiggins is also somewhat similar, it is important whether Golden State will readily try to sign an extension with him.

If Golden State trades Wiggins, it deserves to enter into an extension with Kuminga. However, if it is difficult to dispose of Wiggins, Golden State will have to deal with it as well. When Wiggins and Kuminga play at the same time, it may be better to adjust tactics and performance. If he cannot be held to terms of around $15 million per year, it may be better to aim for next summer than to sign him prematurely.

Moody did the same. He only scored 4.8 points per game last season, but showed promise this time when he scored 8.1 points. It was a considerable addition from the bench. Furthermore, Tamson, the main guard, was greatly sluggish, and Gary Payton II, the top defender on the backcourt, was not able to play many games due to injury. That allowed Moody to have more chances. In other words, there are still questions about his performance this season.

Re-signing expiring contractor
After the season, Tamson's contract finally expires. Tamson's previous contract (five years, $189.9 million) finally comes to an end. Tamson did not play for two seasons in the aftermath of his injury in the 2019 final. He played for the next three seasons, but he failed to pay the price properly. It can be said that he made up for it because he received a relatively small ransom in the mid-to-late 2010s, but his slump this season was too painful.

Golden State had been thinking of extending his contract since last summer, going through this season. However, Tamson refused. Because he didn't like the terms the club offered. However, his limitations and current capabilities have been proven with the end of this season. It seems difficult to pursue a contract worth around $20 million a year.

If he were to be kept below $15 million a year, he would be looking to renew his contract. On the contrary, considering the amount of spending he has spent so far, there could be many conditions. At the same time, he should be able to be able to get him off the bench. Golden State made a big mistake in the last play-in tournament, with Tamson as its starting player. Even if it was a courtesy, it was a shame considering the importance of the game.

For example, if Tamson receives a $10 million contract, there is no reason for Golden State not to step up. However, if he insists on playing in the starting lineup again, the reason for Golden State to call him in will be even greater after he said he did not care about the public opinion that he had to step off the bench.
