Rough math for next season:
Sure to be on the roster: Steph, Klay, Poole, Wiggins, Looney = ~$166m
Player Options: Dray, DiVincenzo = ~$32M
Team Options: Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody = ~$21M
This years draft pick: Baldwin Jr. ~$2M
Assumptions: Wiseman gets traded ($12M), Kuminga/Moody/Baldwin Jr are on the team (~$11m), DiVencenzo opts in ($4.7M).
Biggest Question Mark: Dray ($27m). He'll be 33 next season. No idea what to make of his situation. He's important but he wants a max contract or large raise. Would someone else give him a contract that would make opting out of his $27M worthwhile? I have my doubts but I've been way off with contract numbers of late.
I guess it depends how they define significant and while their payroll might not get to $220M, I bet it still hovers around $200M even if Dray is gone.
