I'm not sure the Warriors' youth movement will have a chance to reach its potential.  The Warriors' luxury tax situation is the elephant in the room, and I doubt ownership will want to pay 500MM in salary + tax next year given the team's results this year.  A salary dump at the deadline or in the offseason seems very plausible to me.

Me too. Wiseman is owed $12 mms. next season, Klay is owed $43 mms.  What's interesting is that Draymond is owed $27.5 mms. at his option. If he decides to leave, that $27 mms. comes off the cap. If he stays, the W's might trade him. Wiggins has a very friendly cap figure next season, about $24.3 million.

Warriors have a first round pick (currently about #13) but no second round selection. If they get rid of some combination of Wiseman, Klay and Draymond, they could get some picks or young players back.
