Harrison Barnes Rejects Initial Extension Offer From Warriors

Money isn't infinite, regardless of where the cap ends up. Barnes isn't worth the max now, and he won't be worth the new max next year. I predict he ends up signing a similar offer next year (16/y), barring injuries or what have you.

If you are paying Harrison Barnes 20 million dollars, you have severely handicapped your team no matter how high you think the cap is going to go up. Projected Salary cap is around 105 million in 2019 so are you willing to have 20% of your team's salary going to Harrison Barnes? The Warriors can get away with that now because they are criminally underpaying their star. That situation won't last forever.

A team like the Hornets might still take the bait though.

GSW probably doesn't match but someone will throw crazy money at him.

Cause the new tv deal.

I saw lots of dudes get overpaid big time and get crazy money lately

16m is serious overpay for Barnes.

I don't disagree with that. Also won't be surprised when he gets that much

Yep, the last time the cap increased just a little over what was anticipated even role players got overpaid. Someone is likely to give Barnes at least $64M. Owners can't resist being stupid and tossing money around. He's probably wise to just wait.
 
What does this say about our players and the view sometimes expressed here that if we're a good enough team they'll want to stick around, maybe even for a little less money than they could get elsewhere?
 
Barnes will get more than $16 million/yr. And think about it. If it were you and you were going to make $16 million per year vs. $17 million per year over a 4 year deal... THAT'S $4 MILLION DOLLARS! And if it's $18 million/yr or $19 million/yr that you get then you would come away with an extra $8 - $12 MILLION DOLLARS!!!

Would you sign the contract for $16 today or would you gamble that the upward trend continues? Injuries can happen, you can look like less of a player, blah blah blah, but we now know that Harrison Barnes thinks like an optimist. Next year...
