After signing Azubuike, the Warriors roster already has 15 players!
2 point guards: Curry, Barbosa.
Three shooting guards: Klay, Middleton, and Azubuike.
Four small forwards: Iguodala, Barnes, Hayward, Rush.
Four power forwards: Tucker, Draymond Green, Yi Jianlian, Speights.
2 centers: Bogut, Yao Ming.
Including Azubuike's 12.5 million, the Warriors' total annual salary has reached 91.57 million!
This amount is far beyond the luxury tax line!
For teams like the Lakers and Knicks, as long as they have the possibility of winning the championship, paying tens of millions in luxury tax is certainly not a problem.
But for other teams, tens of millions in luxury tax is an astronomical figure!
Of course, this number is nothing to the current Warriors. After all, the Warriors' market value has soared to second place in the league!
Even if the tens of millions in luxury taxes are removed, the Warriors are still profitable and ranked high!
But it was different for Deng Fang.
Other teams will do whatever it takes to win the championship, because it is difficult to win and the opportunity is rare, but it is different for the Warriors!
The Warriors are the favorites to win the championship almost every year, and their probability of winning the championship is far higher than that of other teams.
Do the Warriors have to pay the luxury tax every year?
That is impossible!
So there will definitely be a deal later.
The reason why Deng Fang is not afraid is that players like the Warriors are very useful. If they are put on the market, there will be a lot of people grabbing them.
Since you don’t have to worry about selling, then don’t be afraid!
At most, we can wait until mid-term trading to make a move!
Let these players play more games in the regular season to preserve their energy for Curry, Klay and others, and then sell them away before the playoffs start for a good price. No matter how you look at it, this is a good choice.
…
After figuring out the Warriors' lineup for next season, Deng Fang can finally go out and roam.
The Warriors' trade and signings are finalized, but other teams are still busy.
In the early morning of August 1, a report from the "Washington Post" stated that the Wizards and point guard John Wall reached a contract extension agreement. The two parties will sign a five-year contract worth a total of US$80 million. Thursday, local time

The people are Curry, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook.
Although it seems that there is no problem with Wall's contract renewal, Deng Fang knows that Wall is not worth the price at all!
A guard without a basket, especially a three-pointer, is never worth the price!
Of course, Deng Fang would not say anything because it would not do him any good.
On October 19, the Utah Jazz reached a four-year contract extension with forward Derrick Favors worth $49 million. According to other sources, plus incentive bonuses and the like, the total value of this contract is
It will exceed $50 million.
The 22-year-old Favors is the cornerstone of the Jazz's future team, and after Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson both leave the team, Favors will firmly occupy the team's starting position.
Favors was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the third overall pick in the 2010 draft, and was subsequently traded to the Jazz in a major trade involving Deron Williams.
During his three years with the Jazz, Favors has improved every year, showing the potential of a future super frontcourt. Last season, Favors averaged 9.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. If the playing time is changed to 36 minutes, Favors would
Voss' technical statistics last season will be an astonishing average of 14.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.6 blocks per game.

He will become a restricted free agent, and other teams in the league with sufficient salary space can offer him a contract with an annual salary of up to $13 million.
Among the 2010 rookies who have completed contract extensions before the start of the new season are No. 1 pick John Wall, Cousins, Paul George and Larry Sanders.
…
The trade signings attract attention, but in addition, there is another thing that attracts attention in the new season.
The former New Orleans Hornets held a press conference on January 24, 2013, Beijing time, to officially announce that the team was renamed the Pelicans and released a new team logo. The team's new name and team logo will be used in the 2013-14 season.
From now on, the colors of the team logo are blue, gold and red.
In 2002, the original Charlotte Hornets moved from Charlotte to New Orleans, and the team's name was changed to the New Orleans Hornets.
In January 2013, owner Tom Benson, who had just acquired the Hornets, decided to change the name of the New Orleans Hornets to the New Orleans Pelicans, and with approval from the league, the name change began in the 2013-14 season.
It is for this reason that the Charlotte Bobcats were also renamed the Charlotte Hornets.
In the 2004-05 season, Charlotte's new team Bobcats made their NBA debut. They successfully made it to the playoffs once in ten years. Although it was not ideal, there was nothing you could do about a new team.
The military demands too much.
The 2013-14 season is the 10th anniversary of the Bobcats' formation, and it is also the last year that the team uses the name "Bobcats".
Because Charlotte was once the hometown of the Hornets, and the Hornets are going to be renamed the Pelicans, after negotiations, the Bobcats will officially change their name to the "Charlotte Hornets" starting on May 21, 2014, and will also inherit the
Hornets team history.
This means that the New Orleans Pelicans have become the new team in the league, and the Bobcats will withdraw from the stage of history.
