Off the table: Stephen Curry ($45.8 million; unrestricted free agent in 2022), Klay Thompson ($38.0 million; unrestricted free agent in 2024) and Draymond Green ($24.0 million; player option in 2023-24).
Free agents: Kelly Oubre Jr., Kent Bazemore, Nico Mannionand Jordan Bell.
First-round assets and trade exceptions
2021 (own), 2021 (Minnesota), 2022 (own) and 2028 (own) first-round picks.
$2.3 and $1.9 million trade exceptions.
Note: Golden State owes Memphis a 2024 top-four-protected first-round pick. It is top-one protected in 2025 and unprotected in 2026. Because of this trade, the Warriors are allowed to trade only their 2022 first-round pick and a pick no earlier than two years after the pick to Memphis conveys.
Tradable contracts (2021-22 season)
Andrew Wiggins: $31.6 million; unrestricted free agent in 2023
James Wiseman: $9.2 million; restricted free agent in 2024
Kevon Looney: $5.2 million; unrestricted free agent in 2022
Jordan Poole: $3.2 million; restricted free agent in 2023
Gary Payton II: $2.0 million; unrestricted free agent in 2022 (non-guaranteed in 2021-22)
Damion Lee: $1.9 million; unrestricted free agent in 2022 (non-guaranteed in 2021-22)
Eric Paschall: $1.8 million; restricted free agent in 2022 (non-guaranteed in 2021-22)
Alen Smailagic: $1.8 million; restricted free agent in 2023 (non-guaranteed in 2021-22 and 2022-23)
Mychal Mulder: $1.8 million; restricted free agent in 2022 (non-guaranteed in 2021-22)
Juan Toscano-Anderson: $1.7 million; restricted free agent in 2022
Detroit Pistons receive: James Wiseman, No. 7, No. 14 and 2022 unprotected first
Golden State Warriors receive: The No. 1 pick, No. 37, Rodney McGruderand Jahlil Okafor
Bobby Marks: This is a type of trade that the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions would make the night of the NFL draft, not the Pistons and Warriors in late July. The cost to move up to No. 1 is rich for the Warriors. Last year's no. 2 pick, Wiseman, both lottery selections (7 and 14) and an unprotected 2022 first are sent to Detroit. The Warriors are pushing all their draft assets to the middle of the table (an unprecedented four first-round picks if you include Wiseman) with the belief that the selection of Cunningham fits the roster timeline of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. The thought of trading out of the top spot is not an easy decision for Detroit, especially with the ability to select between Cunningham, Green, Mobley and Jalen Suggs. However, the temptation to add last year's second pick in Wiseman, two potential starters and a future asset is an offer that Pistons GM Weaver could not turn down.
This trade can be done the night of the draft, but because Wiseman has an $8.7 million cap hit and the Pistons do not have a big enough trade exception to take on his salary, Detroit will need to add the salaries of Rodney McGruder and Jahlil Okafor. Because McGruder's contract for 2021-22 is non-guaranteed, the Pistons will need to protect the full amount to make the money work. Okafor has an expiring $2.1 million salary for next season. Both first-round picks the Warriors are sending out do not have trade value as it relates to outgoing salary.

This might have been the best moment of my hourlong interview with Jimmie Ward, and I didn't even ask the question that led to it.
Tommy Huxley, a 49ers fan watching live on YouTube, asked Ward if he thinks he will continue to play well against the Rams now that Matthew Stafford is their quarterback instead of Jared Goff.
I expected Ward would give a generic answer and sidestep the question, offending no one. He did not. He launched into his true feeling about Stafford, Goff and the Rams, God love him.
Here's what Ward said.
WARD: "I like Stafford, but they still will have the same players that he'll be throwing the ball to. He's the same quarterback who was on the Detroit Lions and they still didn't go to the playoffs, and they had Megatron (Calvin Johnson). What was the problem over there in Detroit? Are you going to blame the city? What was the problem? Was it the money? If they city didn't have enough money to bring players over there, why even have an NFL team? That's a big question mark.
"They went and traded Jared Goff, who went to the playoffs several times and went to the Super Bowl. Yeah, he lost. He went to the Super Bowl, though. I've yet to see that with Matt Stafford. And I'm saying, he's still great. I believe he's a top 10 quarterback, maybe top 5. I don't know. We'll see. I'm just going off of what I see. And I see Jared Goff got those boys to the Super Bowl."
You can watch the full interview below.
It was originally set to open on July 11, 2014 but construction delays pushed it back a week.
What are your thoughts on the stadium and experience?
