I know it sounds berserk and sacrilegious, but...
The Warriors should trade Klay Thompson if they want the new core to have a championship chance, while the young guys are still on rookie deals.
They simply must get under the luxury tax threshold, not only to afford the roster, but to be in position to sign a big 20-something Free Agent to replace what Klay provided to a degree, maybe even Wiggins if he needs to go too.
If they don't trade a big contract they will be facing a $500M payroll when tax is factored in. That's just not going to happen.
I don't understand the intricacies of NBA salary cap management to know exactly what the options are, but it sure seems like a monumental challenge to figure it all out given all the variables that must be juggled.
