Warriors owner Joe Lacob said “it’s going to be difficult” retaining their core players next summer

Specifically, Lacob is referencing how many players will be due raises after the season, and how tough it will be to accommodate everyone. Jordan Poole, only making just under $4 million this season on his rookie deal, will be a restricted free agent next year, while Andrew Wiggins will hit unrestricted free agency.

Meanwhile, Curry’s four-year, $215 million extension begins this year, Thompson is locked into the next two seasons at over $40 million a year, while Green has a player option at $27 million for the 2023–24 season. The Warriors, who have spent the last few years operating with the largest luxury tax in the league, may have to decide to let some valuable players go elsewhere as they want raises.

“We think we’re going to have a great team this year,” Lacob said. “But next summer, we’re going to be faced with more issues with respect to the cap and luxury tax and all that. We’ll just have to see how this goes. It’s sort of a year-to-year thing. Let’s see how everybody plays, let’s see if we are contending again; we think we will. Let’s see if we’re going to win again. That certainly extends what we’re able to do. If we don’t, we have to rethink things a little bit.

It’s a shame that some players that have already had huge contracts won’t take a smaller contract to keep the team together.
