After the Green hit, the Warriors saw that the players' hearts were restless and tempers were high. The main reason is that the team is facing salary pressure and some players have a sense of crisis. So there was an undercurrent among the players, and to keep them focused on the game, the Warriors made 2 key contract extensions before the regular season kicked off.

They reached a 4-year, $140 million contract extension with Poole and another 4-year, $109 million extension with Wiggins, which made the Warriors' future clear. Some media predicted that the Warriors would remain competitive for at least another 4 years, and the odds of the Warriors winning the title are still very high for those 4 years. Here's a look at the Warriors' payroll composition to see exactly when they will be able to walk away from the altar.

1, Curry, contract until 2026, when he is 38 years old, the average salary of 54 million.

The Warriors over the years, the reason why they were able to 4 championships, market value than the Lakers, straight to the Nicks, solely because of the rise of Curry. The Warriors were only a small ball market in the past, so much so that when the Warriors used Curry and Kay as chips in exchange for Paul, Paul refused to make a commitment to stay, leading the Warriors to develop their own draft picks.

It was also the abortion of this trade that allowed the Warriors to usher in their rise. Curry is definitely a landmark player, he broke almost all the NBA three-point shooting records, had 22 single game hit more than 10 three-pointers, more than the second to eighth place total; he had 4 single season hit more than 300 three-pointers, only one player in the history of the NBA, in a single season to do 1 time. He has hit more than 5 threes per game in a single season in 3 seasons, the total of others in NBA history is 0.

Curry is definitely a figure of NBA history pole, in the discussion of his ranking, Version had this evaluation of Curry, he said: Curry is the most unique impression of the players I have seen all-time, confused why to discuss whether he is the top 10 of history, he should be deservedly top 5 of history.

Curry began in a city, loyal to a city. And from the point of view of last season's championship, in the playoffs almost crushed the opponent to play, except for the 4th game against the Celtics, Curry barely fired, won the championship, showing absolute dominance, from the deterrent, as long as he was on the court, then the opponent's battle, invariably fell by as much as 20%.

Considering that Jordan also won his last championship at the age of 38, then Curry is also hopeful, with an absolute core identity, to win the championship. And he still has four years, then the Warriors at least in these four years, on the league's other 29 teams, in the playoffs the most do not want to meet the opponent. So the Warriors will go down, at least in 4 years.

2, Kay Thompson, contracted until 2024, when he is 34 years old, the average salary of 42 million.

There is an old Chinese proverb that says, a good man three helpers. To make something happen, helpers are also very important. From the history of NBA teams winning the championship, the Bulls have the Iron Triangle, Kobe has O'Neal and Ga sol, James has Wade and Irving, the right helpers to help the team win the championship.

The G soup's big name also scares opponents. Although suffering from injuries, but he is still an indispensable helper around Curry.

From last season, Kay is still recovering, even 80% of his strength has not recovered, and even so, still help the Warriors crushingly played to the finals until the championship. Considering that he has suffered from injuries, we also calculate by his strength can still reach 38 years old, he can still assist Curry for 4 years, then the Warriors can also be brilliant for 4 years.

3, Poole, the contract until 2027, when he is 28 years old, the average salary of 35 million.

From this contract extension, the Warriors are ready to take Poole as Curry's successor training, and his ability, but also afford such a heavy responsibility. Last season was his first time in the playoffs, he played a quasi-All-Star level, and even Curry volunteered to bench him, as long as he stays healthy, then he grows to the height of Tran Young, or not a problem. If you can go further, then after Curry retires, the Warriors will still be able to remain absolutely competitive.

4, Green, the contract to 2024, then he he is 34 years old, the average salary of 27 million.

From the current performance, Green's next contract will not be too big, some experts predict that his next contract, the annual salary will be around 10 million, or even lower. For the high-minded Green, he may not continue to renew his contract with the Warriors, so let's count on the fact that he can only play 2 more years with the team.

Green was once an indispensable player for the team to win the championship, some media believe that his role is no less than Curry, but now his downward trend has shown, last season's finals, when it mattered, also had been Kerr pressed to the bench, so his role is some chicken. As long as Wise man grows up, then his role is estimated to be quickly replaced, the strength of the warriors will continue to maintain dominance instead of falling.

5, Wiggins, contract to 27 years, when he was 32 years old, the average salary of 25 million.

Wiggins first-grader origin, in the last season to cash in on the talent of the first-grader, he entered the All-Star starters, play in the playoffs, he can attack and defend, often limit the opponent's number one, now he is at his peak, in the post-Curry era, he is likely to continue to carry the flag of the Warriors with Poole, and then play 4 years, to reach the age of 36, is also no problem at all.

6, Wise man, contracted until 2024, when he was 23 years old, the average salary of 11 million.

The Warriors definitely took Wise man as a cornerstone player to cultivate, and never had the idea of trading him in those two years when Kay was injured. From the preseason, he has changed his style of play, began to be happy to block in the high position, indicating that his mind has been put flat, if according to the blue collar to cultivate, then Wise man's ability, will definitely be stronger than Rooney, wait until Curry retired, he will also have more tactical position, then the Warriors have his auxiliary, absolutely can strive for the championship.

7, Kunming, contract until 2025, when he is 23 years old, the average salary of 7 million.

Moody, contract until 2025, when he is 23 years old, with an average salary of 4 million.

Baldwin, who is under contract until 2026, when he will be 23 years old, with an average salary of 3 million.

These three players are very young players, the Warriors are also interested in working them out, as long as they grow quickly, then is the mainstay of the Warriors in the future, can definitely help the Warriors remain competitive.

The Warriors boss is very willing to spend money, from the current point of view, the core lineup in addition to Green, must be all left! Today's Warriors, Curry and other veterans are still in peak condition, the growth of young players such as Poole soared, Lacob's investment enthusiasm as usual, and for their own draft picks, is also very generous, in addition to the operation of general manager Myers, Cole's planning, it seems that the Warriors' glory will continue!

Even if Curry retired, then now the young players, but also able to hold up the team's glory, want the Warriors to go down, can only hope that the injury.
