Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
The Warriors have a few reasons to do this deal. Perhaps most significantly, they’ve got a financial incentive. This team is about to get prohibitively expensive.
This deal has them shedding a 4-year contract in exchange for an expiring deal (Harris) and a deal that expires in two seasons.
