The rookie minimum is $1M less than the vet minimum against the aprons and the luxury tax. Having him signed to the 14th roster spot allows the Warriors to meet the required roster size for opening day without Kuminga on the roster (if it comes to that).
I get that, but they’ve had 9 under contract already…..
“Commitments” from Horford, Melton, GP2 today brings it to 12.
Allegedly Kuminga, of course, so we’re up to 13, not counting Richard.
So if Richard is actually 14th, does that mean they’re not going to sign Seth Curry or somebody else?
Or maybe they’re cutting TJD, who I think has little or no guarantee? That would surprise me.
But I don’t see how we say that Richard is #14, when supposedly we’re about to get #15 in Seth.
