Volunteer to reduce salary and return to warrior! Falling down like a cliff, your sacrifice is hard to get back to a perfect ending

This offseason, Golden State Warriors will face certain changes. I won't be surprised when Little Dunleavy (General Manager of Golden State Warriors) said that "no one will spend 400 million dollars for a team that is not eligible for the playoffs" (the overall expenditure of Golden State Warriors this season is close to 400 million dollars), even if the Warriors have an "earthquake" level turmoil in their players' lineup. After all, at the beginning of taking office, young Dunleavy showed his different style from Miles (the former general manager of Warriors). He not only made more moves, but also was crazy, because no one dared to imagine that Warriors would try to trade for Paul, but young Dunleavy did such a thing. He has cut his salary for the Warriors for many times, and his peak age has declined seriously. He has sacrificed a lot for Jinzhou, but you cannot escape being purged.

When Paul was traded to Warriors, I wouldn't be surprised if Dunleavy did anything. In this off-season, the news surrounding the Warriors is more about reducing the burden and spending. In terms of the players' lineup, Paul's $30.8 million contract seems to be definitely out of reach. Even Warriors' meritorious guard Clay Thompson can't get the big contract he likes. He may leave Warriors. Once the Warriors began to clean up their salaries, in the words of some NBA reporters, no one in this team was absolutely safe except Curry and Green. Obviously, it also includes Kevin Rooney, the center who sacrificed a lot for the Warriors.

It is easy to overlook Luni's point, especially when the Warriors want to clear the salary space and reduce expenses, Luni's contract next season also has certain operational possibilities, because when Luni renewed his contract with the Warriors, the management had already laid the groundwork. After winning the championship in the 21-22 season, Luni made another sacrifice. Even though his agent told Luni that he could get a generous return if he left the Warriors, many teams were willing to offer Luni a full middle-class contract (with an annual salary of more than ten million dollars). However, Luni's words "I feel comfortable that the Warriors have given me a contract, which is enough" made his agent understand the attitude of the players. Finally, Luni accepted the salary cut again, and he and Warriors re signed a three-year contract of $22.5 million.

For Luni, this contract has already sacrificed part of his income. As a result, Warriors also set Luni's contract worth $8 million in the last year as only $3 million guaranteed. To be frank, if the Warriors give up Luni at this time, such as cutting him, they can save 5 million dollars, which will reduce the luxury tax pressure of more than 10 million dollars for the Warriors. Obviously, Luni, who will enter the contract year next season, does not know whether he will regret his original decision at the moment, but at least it can be sure that no matter who meets the current situation, there will be tension and anxiety.

If everything is normal, I believe Luni can get all the 8 million salary in his contract next season. After all, Luni is only 28 years old now. He is in the peak grade of a basketball player, and even this age has a certain period of rise. Unfortunately, role players and superstars are often different. Luni suddenly ushered in a precipitous decline this season. When people are concerned about the bad state of Clay and Wiggins, Luni has actually been unable to meet the rotation requirements of an NBA team. This is why the Warriors had no choice but to take him off the starting line-up, and even abandoned Luni. As the iron man of the Warriors, Luni's continuous appearance record was interrupted, not because of injuries, which made people feel sorry.

If it is placed in another team, or if the salary of Warriors is not so bad, Luni does not need to worry. But the reality has made everything difficult and missed the playoffs, which made Warriors suffer heavy losses. Their losses this season reached $200 million, creating a new NBA record, which made the team's investors very dissatisfied. According to reports, some investors began to jointly sell nearly 10% of their shares in the middle of the season. The result is also obvious. No one will take over the shares of Warriors at this time. Clay and Paul are the players most likely to be used for surgery, and Rooney is no exception. For the Warriors, it is too extravagant to give a substitute center an annual salary of 8 million yuan, or even a player who may not be able to play.

This is the case with competitive sports. Luni has sacrificed himself for the Warriors since he entered the league. He is a forward player with forward skills. But for the Warriors, he changed to play center in the rookie season. In his own words, all his center skills were learned after he entered the NBA. Moreover, Luni has already cut his salary for the Warriors once after the Warriors lost the championship in the 18-19 season, and this salary cut has planted a unfriendly seed for Luni's future.
