American sky-high recruitment

After the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies, they officially missed the playoffs this season. Curry thus ended the journey of this season. The Warriors also played their last game of the year.

According to statistics, the Warriors' total salary this season is $654.38+72.8 million, ranking first in the league. Union salary cap 1.09 1 billion dollars, luxury tax threshold132.6 million dollars, Warriors exceeded the threshold by 40.38 million dollars. Because Warriors have been big taxpayers for three of the past four years, this will trigger the luxury tax punishment mechanism, and Warriors will pay sky-high super luxury tax this summer.

According to American media statistics, the Warriors have to pay a total of $65,438+0.1870 million in luxury tax this season, which is the highest tax bill in NBA history and the highest tax paid by teams that missed the playoffs.

However, in order to reduce the luxury tax burden of teams with rising salary caps and luxury taxes, the NBA will reduce the luxury tax of teams according to the decrease of basketball-related income after 202 1 season, which can be reduced by about 30%.

I have to say that the salary pressure of the Warriors is too great. Curry's salary this season is $4.3 million/kloc-0.0 million, Thompson's reimbursement this season is $35.36 million, Wiggins's $29.29 million and Green's $22.25 million. Only these four people, the total salary reached a horrible $654.38+300 million.

After paying so much money, the team didn't even make the playoffs. Does the boss spend so much money just to watch the team play in the regular season? The future salary space of the Warriors will be completely locked, and it is difficult for the team to have substantial reinforcement. There is little hope for the warriors to restore the dynasty of the past five years.
