Warriors Eye Porzingis Return on Budget Deal
7 Jun
Summary
- Warriors coach Kerr desires to retain Porzingis.
- Golden State hopes for a cap-friendly deal.
- Porzingis' contract is a $30.7 million expiring one.
Golden State head coach Steve Kerr has indicated a strong desire to keep Kristaps Porzingis with the team. The Warriors are reportedly hopeful about re-signing the Latvian center to a cap-friendly agreement. This potential deal follows their acquisition of his substantial $30.7 million expiring contract.
Securing Porzingis on a budget-conscious contract could greatly benefit the Warriors. It would simplify their strategy for building around two-time MVP Stephen Curry. Furthermore, it might serve as an incentive for other free agents to join the franchise.
Despite Golden State's interest, Porzingis' considerable upside when healthy could lead to more lucrative offers from other teams. His recent injury history has seen him play fewer than 60 games in five of the last six seasons.
