Breaking down the new CBA: How does it impact the Warriors now and later?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:07:31 GMT

A shocking trade of Jordan Poole for veteran Chris Paul was a clear cut sign that the two-timeline plan is completely shut in Golden State. New general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. is making moves to go all in on the Steph Curry era to keep open this championship window.The Poole, Paul trade also helps accomplish a secondary goal to whittle down long-term financial commitments and create financial flexibility when the most punitive new collective bargaining agreement rules kick in.The Poole/Paul trade in itself creates financial flexibility. Poole was owed a guaranteed contract for an average $32 million per year for the next four years, while what remains on Paul’s contract is either partially or non-guaranteed money. That means the Warriors aren’t on the hook to pay him next year.Strides to open up the books beyond this season is key because the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement will severely punish teams like the Warriors who are above a new “second a...

Editorial: With MLB, San Jose should be careful what it wishes for

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:07:31 GMT

In 1990, Oakland A’s owner Walter Haas gave permission for the San Francisco Giants to obtain territorial rights to Santa Clara County for the express purpose of building a South Bay stadium to house the Giants.It was a generous act in the best interests of baseball, a gentlemanly display among owners that was as rare as a triple play or perfect game.Of course, when South Bay voters — twice — rejected a proposal for a Giants stadium, the rights should have reverted back to the original status. That didn’t happen.Now, as Oakland seems destined to lose the A’s to Las Vegas and San Jose seeks an expansion team, the latter city is deluding itself if it expects the current Giants owner, billionaire Charles Johnson, to give up those territorial rights to Santa Clara County without a fight. Baseball’s 29 other owners will almost certainly side with Johnson, wanting to protect their own territorial rights in the process.How far is Major League Baseball wi...
