Curry may single-handedly will the Warriors to the playoffs, but one more losing skid could prompt rotation changes to evaluate talent for next year. That Curry is earning more this season ($43 million) than anyone in NBA history makes it a bit easier to get over pangs of sympathy for their superstar.
Golden State will have many difficult questions to answer in the coming months, but the ticking clock is from Curry s impending free agency. The All-Star is under contract for just one more season at $45.8 million, after which he ll become an unrestricted free agent.
Even though Curry s current salary is well over the league s max, he will be eligible for a five-percent bump to $48.1 million starting with the 2022-23 season. Any team with enough cap space may offer that amount. The Warriors, who project to have a payroll well above the luxury tax threshold, can pay Curry without having to go under the cap.

The men’s and women’s NCAA Tournament has come to an end, with the Baylor men and Stanford women standing alone as champions. While one could (correctly in our opinion) argue that the Badgers gave the Bears the toughest game in the Tournament, that is not what we are here to discuss today. We are here to talk about tournament MVPs.
