Quinten Post gets default agreement

Los Angeles-Jimmy Butler is a warrior and Quinten Post is also a full-time member of the team.

Butler joined the team ahead of Warriors’ game against Lakers when the complicated trade that traded from Miami became official Friday. He is expected to debut later on this road trip, probably in Chicago on Saturday or Milwaukee on Monday.

In order to reach compliance with the watch drying, Warriors Post’s two -way agreement converted a standard contract, per. Espns Shams Charania. Rookie Center has started five straight matches on the way into Saturday’s match. His floor distance could be even more valuable now that Butler – not a particularly strong exterior shooting game – enters the fold.

Butlers reported two-year-olds, $ 121 million contract extension runs through 2027, and adjusted him with Steph Curry and Draymond Green. It could create a strained financial situation, but owner Joe Lacob has been known for pony up for warring guards.

After signing submissions and trading for Butler, Warrior has two available security spaces.

Here is a look at the short and long-term cap branches of Warriors’ deadline transactions.

Immediate period

According to ESPN -salary expert Bobby Marks, Warriors are now $ 1,372,306 million under the first apron after the butler and postal agreements.

Because Warriors are hard-hitting at the first apron, they are eligible to sign players in the buyout market, but can’t spend more than the $ 1.3 million for the rest of the season.

Hold over the apron has several restrictions on the buyout market that do not apply to Warriors. Anyone who is waived before March 1 is eligible to play in the mail season. From apostate players often sign for minimum agreements with warring teams.

Potential buyout candidates that can make sense to Warriors include Seth Curry, Malcolm Brogdon, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Jumper, Chris Boucher and Kelly Olynyk.

Warriors will also probably need to execute some 10-day contracts to fill the guard plan and work with thin margins under the first apron for the rest of the season.

Next year

The 2025-26 season is the first of two campaigns, with all three of Curry, Butler and Green being on the books for big money.

Curry ($ 59.6 million), Butler (about $ 58 million) and Green ($ 25.8 million) is set to add approx. 145 million dollars. Warriors also have Buddy Hield ($ 9 million), Brandin Podziemski ($ 3.6 million), Moses Moody ($ 11.5 million) and Trayce Jackson-Davis ($ 2.2 million) under Contract. The outlet of Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II’s contracts this summer could create some respiratory room.

These seven player’s salary adds up to approx. 172 million dollars. Next year’s luxury tax threshold is expected to be $ 187.9 million, and the first apron $ 195.9 million.

Even before the Butler trade was the threatening question to Warriors this summer Jonathan Kuminga’s limited free agency. The two sides could not agree on a contract extension before the season, and Butler’s salary is likely to be pressed more Golden State.

Warriors believe in Kuminga’s long -term potential and would like to lock him down. Their abundance of small wages should allow them to sign Kuminga to market interest rates without paying a historic tax bill. But a few years that face the first or second apron restrictions-as inhibiting merchant flexibility and other vague construction options to be likely.
