NBA insider gives Warriors $50M roster update after Brandin Podziemski's contract extension
The Golden State Warriors still have a great opportunity for next offseason even after signing Brandin Podziemski to a contract extension. The Warriors will look to make splashes this coming up summer.
Golden State Warriors insider Brett Siegel reported that the NBA team has secured a five-year, $110 million contract extension with starting guard Brandin Podziemski. The deal, which includes a mutual option in the final season (2031-32) and a trade kicker, was confirmed by Podziemski's agent, Bill Duffy, to ESPN's Shams Charania.
The fully guaranteed contract provides the Warriors with approximately 12% of the cap, ensuring a significant amount of cap space for free agency next summer. While Podziemski and his representatives would likely aim for a higher offer, the $16 million to $18 million annual range is deemed reasonable for the team at this moment.
The extension allows the Warriors to focus on the upcoming regular season and strengthens their contention plans around Steph Curry.
