Time to talk some Golden State Warriors now. First time we've ever done that on the program,

0:04.4

but they head into obviously a much much different offseason than we've seen before. Kevin

0:09.6

Durant situation, of course, in flux Clay Thompson, also a free agent, although widely expected

0:16.0

to resign in Golden State if they don't mess with his money too much, but he's coming off the

0:20.1

Tourney ACL. Of course, Kevin Durant coming off the Tourney Killy's possible that neither of them

0:25.2

plays next year, Clay, they're talking about him nine to ten months, potentially not sure

0:29.7

really what that space on he isn't even at his surgery yet, and Katie, they're talking about him

0:33.7

maybe missing the entire season. So let's start here, Danny, with their financial picture,

0:40.5

and really probably the best way to do it is just to talk about the scenarios that involve. So

0:46.3

let's say a scenario in which Katie and Clay actually both are resigned. I think a healthy way of

0:52.7

kind of putting this is that if in most scenarios the Warriors are well over the cap and in many,

0:58.1

in that circumstance, when you're talking about their well over the tax, but it's worth noting

1:02.5

and emphasizing that 2019-20 is the first year that the Warriors would pay the repeater tax. So that

1:09.4

means an extra dollar for every dollar they're over the tax line so that makes every expenditure

1:14.9

more costly for ownership. And it doesn't necessarily prevent anything, but it does make the team

1:21.4

even even more expensive. So if they brought back Durant and Thompson, basically any salary,

1:26.6

they'd be way over the tax threshold. Yeah, and the assumption, of course, is if they return,

1:31.2

Katie starting at $38.2 million at his overall cost on a five-year Mac deal, which has been

1:39.2

reported that they will in fact offer him despite the torn Achilles, that would be a, with the maximum

1:45.3

8% annual races, five years, $221.3 million. And then Thompson, at his five-year Macs, five years,

1:54.3

$189.7 million. This is based on the current estimate of $109 million cap. There's been some evidence

2:01.5

that Albert and Amada is treating about that. Maybe it'll go a little higher than that. But that's
