With the NBA 2017-2018 season, the Warriors' Big Four defeated the thirty-year-old man and won the annual championship. At this time, the Warriors' Big Four became famous. At the beginning of the new season, the Warriors did not perform very well. So how long can the Warriors' Big Four lineup be maintained? Who is the most important among the Warriors' Big Four? Let's study it together.

Which of the Big Four of the Warriors is the most important?

A reporter from NBC Sports in the United States made a statistics to analyze who among the Big Four of the Warriors has made the greatest contribution. According to statistics, as long as Stephen Curry is in the team, even if he is alone, the Warriors will score 14 points more than their opponents every 100 possessions. This data makes the Warriors very difficult to defeat, and they are the only ones in the Super Four who can do this

Except for Curry, no matter how the other three are combined, their 100 possessions are not much different from the ordinary 50% winning rate team, especially when Durant and Green lead the team, they even win 100 possessions. They still have to lose a lot of points in the round. Only Curry can make them stand out and make this team grow into a championship team. This also proves that Curry is the foundation of the team. Without him, even with Durant, a super scorer, it will be difficult for the Warriors to win the championship

How long can the lineup of the Warriors' Big Four be maintained

If the Warriors want to maintain this lineup, it depends on whether they have sufficient financial strength

The Warriors are also based on the financial situation published by Forbes magazine.

Golden State Warriors

Team Value1 $2,600 M

Price Paid: $450 M

Year Purchased: 2010

Revenue2: $305 M

Operating Income3: $74.2 M

Debt/Value4: 10%

Player Expenses5: $111 M

Gate Receipts6: $134 M

In the 15-16 season, when player wages were US$111 million, the Warriors made a profit of US$74.2 million. The entire Warriors team is valued at US$2.6 billion, with debt of approximately US$260 million (debt ratio 10%). Obviously the Warriors' economic situation is better than that of the Thunder, and the upper limit of player wages they can afford is also much higher.

In the 17-18 season, the Warriors player salary is US$166 million (including luxury tax). In the 18-19 season, it is expected to reach US$238 million. In the 19-20 season, it will approach US$300 million after Klay is signed. In the 20-21 season, after Green is signed, it will exceed US$300 million. The variable inside is that if Iguodala or Livingston declines and McCaw or Jordan grow rapidly, Iguodala can be traded before Clay is signed (possibly with a first-round pick), or Livingston's third-year contract (only $2 million in guaranteed salary) can not be executed, then the total salary may be lower. But considering raising the salary to retain the two rookies, the difference will not be too big.

So can the Warriors afford a salary of US$300 million? Let's analyze it bit by bit.

1) In the 16-17 season, the Warriors’ profit reached US$92 million.

2) Before the 17-18 season, the Warriors signed a contract with Rakuten for the chest advertisement on their jerseys, worth US$20 million a year.

3) The Warriors’ TV broadcast rights in the Bay Area are currently worth US$30 million per year, and the broadcast contract expires in two years. The new contract is expected to reach a maximum of $100 million per year, which is an additional $70 million per year.

4) The Warriors’ new arena in San Francisco opened in 2019, with ticket revenue estimated at US$120 million. The Oracle Arena in Oakland that is currently renting has more ticket revenue (more seats). After deducting rent and other expenses, the Warriors' income is about US$70 million. Therefore, after the new stadium is opened, it will increase revenue by at least 50 million US dollars every year (excluding the catering and entertainment facilities attached to the stadium and the revenue from concerts held when the stadium is not playing).

5) JPMorgan Chase Bank obtained the naming rights of the new arena for US$300 million over 20 years, which is approximately 15 million per year.

6) The Warriors’ new arena sells season ticket subscription certificates, which can be used to purchase season tickets every year. The subscription certificate is transferable and the principal will be repaid without interest after 30 years. The Warriors are expected to receive a $300 million, 30-year, interest-free loan by selling warrants.

So now the Warriors are not only a winning machine, but also a money-making machine. Judging from the income situation in the next few years, the Warriors can at least sustain a salary of 300 million US dollars without running a deficit
