Warriors Made Unexpected Kristaps Porzingis Trade Decision with His New Contract
Porzingis averaged 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in 15 games, and the extension further shapes Golden State’s salary-cap plans.
- On Monday, center Kristaps Porzingis agreed to a two-year, $40 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, per ESPN's Shams Charania, with a player option for the 2027-28 season.
- ESPN salary cap expert Bobby Marks noted the extension likely restricts Golden State from utilizing the $15 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception, the primary tool to bring LeBron James to the Bay Area.
- Cap analyst Yossi Gozlan demonstrated the Warriors can still pursue Anthony Davis and LeBron James, with the team potentially acquiring Davis via trade centered on Jimmy Butler while remaining under the hard cap.
- Draymond Green declined his $27.7 million player option on Monday morning, entering free agency; his decision is linked to Golden State's reported pursuit of Davis and potential salary adjustments.
- Porzingis, an elite floor spacer and rim protector, averaged 16.1 points per game after joining the team at the February trade deadline, shooting 31% from 3-point range despite battling injuries.
