Although Kevin Durant wasn’t going to feature in 2019-20 season for the Golden State Warriors should, he have had resigned, it is still a massive blow to the Dubs championship aspirations. To counteract this Bob Myers pulled off an audacious sign and trade for D’Angelo Russell per Shams Charania leaving the Dubs with little wiggle room.
As has been known for awhile the Warriors have only the mid-level exception and veteran minimum contracts. However, following the Russell trade the Dubs are perilously close to the hard cap having a mere $18.2 million to fill out nine roster slots per Nate Duncan
Assuming Jones/Evans stick around and they sign Paschall and Smailagic, plus a vet min guy you're at 13 players and $5.
