The pendant in front of Curry! Payton expresses his loyalty and hopes to stay with the Warriors

After the Warriors were eliminated in the playoffs, a season summary meeting was organized, where Payton Jr. expressed his loyalty to the Warriors and hoped to continue playing with the Warriors. He said: "I hope I can play for a few more years and stay here best. I love this team very much, I am willing to play for Cole, and I appreciate the management's strengthening ideas. They know my attitude, and now they are coming day by day. I hope to stay here and have regarded this place as their home." After the end of the season, Payton Jr. will become a free agent. The good news is that the Warriors also hope to renew their contract with Payton Jr., but they are looking for a discounted contract to sign Payton Jr., and they will not be paid too high.

In fact, the two sides were a little unhappy last year because of contract issues. At that time, Payton Jr. had the option of a player, and then he chose to execute the 9.13 million contract for the season. At that time, the Warriors management negotiated with him, hoping that Payton could give up, and then the two sides signed a contract with an annual salary of about 5 million yuan. But Payton refused. He probably knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to get a contract worth nearly 10 million yuan in annual salary in the future, so it would be a year for him to get it.

Peton, a player like

, is somewhat system-oriented, which is what fans say, the players are pendants tied to Curry. They don’t have much ability, but they can still play some roles in the team.

Some people also said that his defense was not as good as he thought. He used to think it was because Wiggins and Zhui Meng helped him to help him defend and make up for defense. The real single defense did not depend on who he had defended. Then the offensive end also handcuffs locked the teammates, and Curry was also a piece of it, purely a system ball. He also played for a while in the Trail Blazers, and that was not the case at all. When the transaction came, the physical examination was not qualified. If the Warriors hadn't minded, they might have been wandering. How to say

? It makes sense that Payton is really too short, and three-pointers are also very effective, so it is too easy to be restricted. Most teams directly let him shoot three-pointers, and they can even use the center to fight him. It is indeed too system-oriented.

This season, Payton played 62 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 15 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals, shooting percentage of 57.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%. He played 11 games in the playoffs, averaging 16 minutes per game, and his data was similar to the regular season.

But in several games where Curry was missing due to injury, he was really invisible and completely lost his presence. It can be said that he is really a pendant on Curry.

But I feel that the Warriors can still retain him. Of course, there is no need for high salary. The Warriors' salary space next season is also very tight, and Curry and Butler Green almost lose most of the salary space. In addition, they also need to sign a center, because Cole made a statement after the end of the season and hoped that Green would no longer serve as the team's starting center next season. So if the Warriors don't want to pay luxury tax, they can only make careful calculations.

Now that the Warriors are also interested in keeping Payton, how much salary do you think you will keep him? About 5 million? Or is it a direct basic salary?
