Warrior fans need to understand the new CBA will FORCE the Warriors to dump one of their expensive contracts. The best option is trading injury-plagued 33 year old Klay Thompson with just 1 year left on his $43MM contract. With the Mav's #10 pick, Warriors have a good chance to get Gradey Dick - the best 3 point shooter in the draft to replace Klay Thompson's production.
Dallas MUST send out $20+MM in annual salary but Golden State doesn't want it - it would defeat the purpose of dumping a $43MM contract. That's why the Thunder are needed. The Thunder take Warriors' 2023 First Round #19 pick for taking all return salary for Golden State and trading 3 Thunder Second Round picks for a future Protected Dallas First Round pick for agreeing to take these specific contracts Dallas didn't want.
