In a market that just saw DeMarre Carroll get 4/60, this is a steal. Only going to get better, and easily the most impactful player on the squad.

With less future cap space to work with, I wonder if we'll start seeing some more trading from Cho and company. Some tough decisions need to be made now.

Funny that Steph revealed today he never plans on testing free agency so they say "screw it, let's pay some people." I would've been ok with a 2 year deal. But he is made of glass and just lost his shooting coach. This was an overpay and a perfect example of why they aren't anywhere close to being better than mediocre.

I'm sorry, but nothing in this post is close to being correct...

1. As far as Steph goes, he said he's not thinking about free agency right now. And why would he when he has a few years left?

2. You clearly don't understand how the NBA free agency market works, because 4/52 is about the going rate for a wing player these days. With MKG's improvement to go along with how much he already impacts the game, he could be ready to cash in on a max deal at the end of this deal.

3. MKG is the reason this team wins more than 15 games a year, not the other way around.

Also, this isn't the NFL. Any GM can easily turn over a roster overnight to accommodate any acquisition they'd like to make. If a star expresses interest, you make it happen. Look at the Cavs' payroll as evidence.

Awesome!  Came here to post the Steph news, and this is the first I'm seeing of this...  I like it.   With the cap growing exponentially, this is a bargain.  BUT, I want to know if this takes us over the luxury tax, because if so, I have no doubt in my mind that we're making some more deals because MJ does not want to pay that unless the team proves they are a contender first.

1. Steph said free agency isn't appealing to him and the Bay Area is "home to me and my family." It's not happening.

2. I'm one of the only guys that ever posts in these topics other than you. No need to tell me I don't understand how NBA free agency works. I realize that guys get waaaay more than they're worth if that's what you're saying. I realize Valanciunas just got $16 million per year in his deal.

3.I just don't think it's smart to commit $13 million per year to a guy that has missed over 20 games the past 2 seasons. 

Don't be rude and give me the "this isn't the NFL" stuff. I realize that and I can differentiate the two. I realize the NBA is player dictated. C'mon man, don't be insulting. I'm not an idiot. But you don't have to write a book explaining why we should give a guy $13 million for his defense and offensive potential. I don't dislike MKG. I just think it's an overpay.

Well again, with Curry, he's not thinking about free agency because it's not time for him to think about free agency. When the time comes, he will begin to think about free agency, and the NBA landscape could look very different in two or three years, and that includes the Warriors.

Apologies for the rudeness, I just get sick of folks always claiming "overpay" every time a contract is handed out. Given the market set this offseason, this is a great deal for a player who already impacts the game for this team and has a ton of room to improve. You'll take that guy on a second contract any time.

Also, as has been documented on here before, the franchise has not been successful because they cannot draft well at all and can't catch a break in the lottery (Fun fact: since 2004, Charlotte's lottery pick has never jumped up, only stayed the same as the odds or fallen.) Cap management has actually been one of the strong points of the franchise.

It's an extension (doesn't start until next season), so there's no bearing on this year's cap.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
