There’s a lot going on, folks.
Golden State Warriors’ Chris Paul talks with Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson during their game against the Boston Celtics late in overtime at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023. As my overheating phone can attest, you all have questions about the Warriors heading into a pivotal stretch of the NBA offseason.
The second apron was put in to stop the Warriors and Clippers from spending and making all these other NBA teams look poor. Say that were the case: The Warriors would still want to trade Paul this week, because on July 1 the new CBA goes into effect, with all the new restrictions on trades in tow. It would be hard to trade Paul normally and will be even more challenging with the new rules, which prohibit second-apron teams from signing and trading, using trade exceptions, sending cash, aggregating contractions, or taking back more money in a trade.
I’d bet the Warriors could duck under that line, but it’d be by dollars if not cents. And without tens of millions in salary cap space, you’re not signing Paul George or OG Anunoby, so I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble — it’s not like they’ll lower ticket prices in the process. The ability to pick up good players on the super-cheap is the original appeal of the draft. It’s gone to a whole new level under the new CBA.
The Oklahoma City Thunder faced a similar scenario this summer with guard Josh Giddey and they opted to trade him to Chicago for Alex Caruso last week. It was a coup of a deal for the Thunder.
