The Golden State Warriors have one of the most accomplished, successful front offices in the NBA — that much isn’t disputed. For that reason, it should come as no surprise that the team found a way to work themselves out of quite the sticky situation with Marquese Chriss.
The Warriors have been stuck in a bit of a cap bind this season. The offseason sign-and-trade for D’Angelo Russell left the Warriors hard-capped which meant that even despite their open roster spot, they didn’t have the cap flexibility to sign an additional player.
