Warriors offered Barnes an extension

[Pugz]

From Yahoo Sports:

The Warriors are trying to prevent Barnes from reaching restricted free agency in July 2016, when a rising salary cap and scores of teams with financial flexibility will couple with Barnes' burgeoning talent and potential to make him a significant target on the market.



The offer of $16 million per year annually comparable to teammate Draymond Green's five-year, $82.5 million extension this summer had been negotiated by Barnes' former agent, Jeff Wechsler. After that initial offer, Wechsler countered with a figure north of $16 million annually before he and Barnes parted ways, league sources said. Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports is representing Barnes now.

Its going to be difficult for the Warriors to keep Barnes with the increase in cap space. I could see a team like the Jazz overpaying for him.

Why would the Jazz sign him when they have Rodney Hood in a similar role on a rookie contract?

Plus Hayward

Rodney Hood primarily plays SG for them.

Although yea they do have Hayward, I would play Barnes at the 3 and Hayward at the 2. It would work Ive already tried it on 2k.

These new cap numbers are gonna take some time getting used to
