Warriors already had the NBA's most expensive team, but keeping it together could cost over $500 million

In the most expensive scenario, the Warriors could cost half a billion dollars

The only one that could leave is Draymond

Steph and Klay are there for life. Wiggins and Poole for a while, and they got nice deals on both of those guys.

Ownership more than willing to pay the bill for winning. They're so deep in $, they don't give a shit. Their investment has already grown astronomically

First class organization....best in professional sports right now.

If they win it this year they won't mind breaking it up

 

[Tanko]

With all the crap being stirred up with Green of late.... He be gone.

If breaking up is not extending Draymond....then yeah that might happen

Steph and Klay aren't going anywhere. This team is gonna be in the mix for a while

This bill is not going to hinder that.

 

[Pimike]

Screw the NBA

 

[stormtrooper8]

This bill has been issue for a while now btw. They've known they were going to have to swallow it for basically a year when they decided Poole and Wiggins were going to stay

Warriors did a great job with those contracts

If Draymond goes, then they live with it. But still a chance he stays IMO .

Whatever happens its been a great run. Been a fan since the 70's so I know the bad times.

 

[BigJay]

This beauty says “Break em up!”

 

[parrothead]

Most likely they will go out on top and repeat as champs

The nba won't allow it to continue

The cap wasn't put in place to simply be ignored by larger revenue teams, it is there to create parity and retention of homegrown stars, not to enable a bottom less hole of trophy chasing that skews FA valuation

The NBA can’t do anything about it

Warriors are willing to pay an absorbent luxury tax bill. Most teams aren’t

The Warriors being great is good for business. They have no incentive to try and stop that

Plus Warriors are the definition of a homegrown team who retains stars

 

[MinnesotaFats]

LOL

The NHL ripped apart the TB Lightening after they used a loophole to retain Stamkos following his injury

The owners are a fraternity, not a brothel of discontent whores, they play nice and this situation was probably given a handshake "OK" because of Stephs popularity w the marketability but no, it's not how leagues operate or thrive going forward and no owner, in any professional league, thumbs his nose at the keague or other owners. Ask Snyder how that's going...

This isn’t the NHL or NFL buddy. Way different dynamics

The NBA literally can’t do anything about it. Owners can’t cry about the Warriors having the stones to pay a fat luxury tax bill. It’s not a league problem

Warriors are just playing a different sport bud. Maybe the Wolves can take em to 5 this year

Serious question here....

What would they do? I'm wondering what steps the owners would take against one another that would pass. They may have to get outside the box thinking going....

They’ll make a vague statement about parity and loyalty, then proceed to not doing anything about it

Exactly...
I'm sure there are some owners pissed about the situation but they are in the minority. Nothing will happen.

They've forced two involuntary sales in the last 5 years for mere comments.

They forced the Houston GM out for supporting human rights in China.

What can they do...they can take the franchise, they can put a competitor across the street, they can black out the games, they can change the tax to retroactive or increase it...

It's a monopoly, the league and owners can do whatever they want to inflict pain upon a non compliance situation
