Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
The Warriors have a few good reasons to entertain this deal.
Firstly, having extended Jordan Poole, their salary cap is looking terrifying. Here, they’re flipping a big contact that’s attached to a declining player for an expiring one and a smaller one.
On the other hand, the Warriors are the defending NBA champions. They can’t just clear cap – the deal has to make sense on the basketball court, too. Luckily, this deal does.
In fact, Love has been anchoring second units for a couple of years now, and the Warriors could badly use some offense in their second unit.
