ESPN analyst Bobby Marks has claimed that the Golden State Warriors’ payroll and tax penalty for the 2023/24 season will be over $500million.
The Golden State Warriors have been one of the most successful NBA teams in recent history. The San Francisco-based franchise has had the biggest chunk of its NBA success over the past decade, winning four NBA titles in eight years and reaching five consecutive NBA Finals from 2015 to 2019 – with their latest Championship win coming only in June this year.
However, most of the Warriors’ success in modern years has been accredited to their immense spending on the market and paying up an incredible amount of money to keep hold of their best players. The Warriors have had the highest payroll in all the NBA for a fair few seasons now – and according to sources, their financial dominance is set to continue soon.
According to ESPN analyst Bobby Marks, the Golden State Warriors are set to have a huge payroll even in the 2023/24 season, and an even greater amount when one considers the tax penalty amounts. While the current payroll for the Warriors is about $193million for the 2022/23 season, reports suggest the amount will substantially improve courtesy of a few new deals.
What are the numbers in the GSW payroll as reported by sources?
As reported by sources, the Golden State Warriors’ payroll and tax penalty combined in 2023/24 will probably exceed $500M once the roster is filled.
While the new numbers factor in the imminent bumper extension deals to be handed to Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole, it also factors Draymond Green opting in to his $27.6million player option. All the factors combined takes the Warriors’ 2023/24 payroll to a whopping $215million – which, when added the tax penalties of $268million – amounts to an incredible $483million.
A total amount of nearly $500million on the Warriors’ books shows their desire to pay up to have the incredible players they possess, and it will certainly excite to see how the upcoming season shapes up for the defending champions.
