Warriors' $137M defensive lockdown duo wants to retire with organization amid Steph Curry deal
The Golden State Warriors locking Steph Curry down may have just gotten a veteran duo to finish their careers in the Bay as well. Curry's contract extension looks like it will pay dividends with other players as well.
The Golden State Warriors have a trio of defensive stalwarts that could potentially retire together amid Stephen Curry's contract extension deal. Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, along with Curry, are in the final year of their respective contracts, and their combined salaries with the Warriors amount to $137 million this season.
If these players were to return on smaller contracts, it might allow the organization to explore signing free agents next offseason. However, giving up these three key players would require some sacrifices, as they form the core of the Warriors' defense and have been integral to the team's success.
