I honestly don't know what they are doing.
If they are serious about getting out of the tax, then they are going to suck as a team, and what's the point of sucking and having Steph on the team? Their run is over and if they are goign to suck, they might as well just go full in on the rebuild.
They could get back ridiculous offers for Steph right now.

My guess is that they are trying to do what the Lakers did during Kobe’s final years…

Have sell tickets and mentor young guys while they do a rebuild.


I don’t see Larry Ellison allowing his GM to throw a ton of money at the equivalent of Luol Deng and Tomofey Mozgov, forcing them to dump assets to rid themselves of them.

Steph is 36 with a total of two years on his contract making about $60m a season.

Not that they couldn’t get assets for him but I don’t see them getting all three of good players, salary relief, and draft picks.

GS is 2 million under the tax line with CP3’s 30 million added on.

All they have to do is cut CP3 and they’re 32 million under the tax line.

They don’t have to move anyone to avoid the tax, and can stay under very comfortably while still keeping Klay at 20 million if he stays for that
