LAS VEGAS — This summer, Steph Curry signed through the 2022 season, Kevin Durant linked back with a loud gesture that hinted at his long-term intentions and Andre Iguodala recommitted for three more years. Klay Thompson’s contract is not up until 2019, Draymond Green’s until 2020.
The Warriors’ five most important pieces are settled, which is settling for an organization. But another under-the-radar, potentially tricky financial decision awaits next summer: Patrick McCaw, who is perhaps the team’s sixth most important piece from a team-building standpoint, will be a restricted free agent.
It’s a situation that has crept up on the Warriors quick.
