The Golden State Warriors have embraced “Strength In Numbers” as their slogan during the Steph Curry era. But it was the numbers in the contract extensions handed out before the 2022-23 season that created bad feelings with some of the team’s veterans.
Ramona Shelburne reported that when the Warriors handed out multi-year extensions to Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole, it “didn’t sit right” with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Thompson, who had two years and roughly $84 million left on the deal he’d signed in 2019, wanted his own extension after winning the championship.
