Warriors owner Joe Lacob: ‘Our Plan 1, or 1A, is that we’d like to be out of t
he tax’

勇士老闆Joe Lacob：我們的主要方案Plan 1或1A是我們要避免繳稅


This year the Warriors are set to pay $172.8 million in luxury tax alone — more
 than the total payroll of 17 NBA teams this season.

今年勇士光豪華稅就要付$172.8M，比17隻隊伍的薪資加總還多

As the new CBA fully kicks in this coming summer, the penalties for those over t
he tax get more harsh. It’s not simply the payouts — owners like the Clippers
’ Steve Ballmer can shrug those off — but it also limits team-building options
 (tightening trade restrictions, limiting getting players on the buyout market).
 Which is why the Warriors want to get under that line and it is a team priority
, Warriors governor Joe Lacob said on The TK Show with The Athletic’s Tim Kawak
ami.



“Our Plan 1, or 1A, is that we’d like to be out of the tax, and we think that
we have a way to do that. That kind of is the plan, not just under the second ap
ron. I’ll tell you why that’s important because the truth is, we need to be ou
t of the tax two years out of the next four in order to get this repeater thing
off our books. We don’t want to be a repeater. It’s so prohibitive, not to say
 we wouldn’t do it if we had to, but you’ve gotta look at the downside of doin
g that. So, that’s the plan, is to try to do that, and we think we can keep our
 team together and retain even the players that are, we might be able to bring p
layers back at different numbers and so on.”



This flies in contrast to Lacob calling Lakers’ governor Jeanie Buss to test th
e temperature of a LeBron James trade (which LeBron’s agent Rich Paul shot down
). That would have been insanely expensive, but it’s also the kind of move wher
e money is not the concern.

這與Lacob打給湖人老闆珍妮測試老詹交易的事是相反的，因為這會非常的貴，但這也表示
錢不是主要考量的動作

Reaching “Plan A” and getting out of the tax would not be easy. As of today, t
he Warriors have eight guaranteed contracts on the books for next season (assumi
ng Gary Payton II picks up his $9.1 million option, which is a safe bet) at arou
nd $137 million, but that does not include new contracts for Klay Thompson, Chri
s Paul or Kevon Looney. The luxury tax threshold next season is $172 million. Hy
pothetically, if Klay Thompson gets the same deal Draymond Green got last summer
 (four years, $100 million) the Warriors would have about $10 million for the re
maining five roster spots it would have to fill — all minimum contracts.



It’s not impossible — not with things like the emergence of Brandin Podziemski
, keeping Thompson’s roles smaller (and his contract cheaper) — but improving
this core and returning to contender status while staying under the tax will be
difficult. To say the least.

這並非不可能，Podz的表現減少了四爺的角色，且他的合約更便宜。但改善勇士核心並回到
競爭冠軍的狀態又維持在稅線下是很困難的


The window with Stephen Curry as a top-10 NBA player is only going to be open so
 long, this team needs to get better and more athletic, which means the Warriors
 have some hard choices to make this summer.

Curry能維持在Top 10身手的時間不多，這隻隊伍需要打得更好，更有運動能力。這表示勇
士在今年夏天要做出困難的選擇

Lacob在節目中還有提到Plan 1B

"There's a Plan 1B, I guess, and 1B is we could go even further than that and we
 could make big changes if we had to," Lacob said. "If this team were to slide a
ll the way down here and not do well the end of the year here, you know there's
gonna be big changes.  But if we do really well, we might decide to go the other
 way, so everything's open, we have to be flexible, I can just tell you that the
 goal is to not be a lottery team ever."





大家覺得勇士打到什麼程度 老闆才願意花錢？ 不過以目前的戰績 我看四爺留不住了
