The final season is 2023-24 with the PO decision in summer 2023?
If so, then that would be in agreement with the web sites that I cited above.
I didn’t see you were asking about a decision in a year an option cannot legally exist. Options can only be for the final year of a contract.
In the post that I was questioning:
Green and Curry can play for exemptions then max deals like Duncan and Manu. 2023 as well
As one of the richest teams in the NBA the opportunity can be there if a player wants to come.
it came across (implied) as Green would have a PO or TO in the same summer that Curry will need a new contract which is summer 2022 since 2023 was mentioned in the next sentence. Then both could play for a season on bargain contracts (2022-23 season) so Golden State would have cap space to carve out room for a good player in summer 2022. I didn't think that Green's contract would allow for that type of scenario in summer 2022, so I went to three different web sites to confirm that there was no PO or TO for Green in summer 2022.
Earlier in the thread, I had mentioned the
Durant scenario.
* The salary cap won't jump enough to facilitate another Durant walkling through the door
Then we got started down the road about Green & Curry playing on bargain contracts to make another
Durant scenario possible.
Using a salary cap of $115.7 million for the 2022-23 season, I used the most optimistic scenario that I could think of.
1. Wiggins ($33,616,770) swapped out for a player making $15 million. Why the team on the other side of the trade would do that is still a mystery to me unless Golden State is including compensation for the other team to eat $18.6 million in salary.
2. Curry playing for a one year veteran minimum ($1,717,971) which is the charge against the Golden State team salary after the kickback - subsidy from the league.
3. Used guesstimates of $5 million, $3 million and $3 million for the Minnesota first (2021 or 2022 draft), Golden State 2021 first, Golden State 2022 first for a total of $11 million. Moving the total down a few million won't have a significant impact on the bottom line number on the Golden State team salary for the 2022-23 season when the goal/objective is to facilitate another
Durant scenario.

Curry will be 34 and I don't think another
Durant or even an imatation
Durant will be eager to sign on for roughly $5.2 million when a $115.7 million salary cap is being used.
