The NBA is a business that revolves around franchises. Meanwhile, the teams profit from their superstar talent. However, winning does factor into the equation, and to win championships, there has to be a well-rounded roster around the team franchise player. With the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry has unboundedly been “that guy”. Since Steph’s first MVP, the Dubs have won 4 NBA championships in 9 years.

This dynasty status has also catapulted the Warriors into significantly higher revenue streams compared to previous years. Due to this exceptional growth, the dubs can spend a significant amount on their players.

Last season, the Golden State Warriors recorded $765 million in revenue. While this figure didn’t represent growth from the previous year, the Warriors retained their position as the NBA franchise with the highest revenue.

In 2022/23, with nearly $250 million more in revenue than the Los Angeles Lakers, who were in second place. This season the Dubs are expected to earn the same if not more, resulting in the extortionate $395,400,00 it will be paying Steph and other key players.

The Golden State Warriors have become the NBA’s top spender in total luxury tax payments, having shelled out $163.7 million in the last season alone. Over the past six seasons, they’ve paid a staggering $500 million as taxpayers and are estimated to incur an additional $200 million in expenses this year. The possibility of getting below the luxury tax threshold in the upcoming season hinges largely on the terms of Klay Thompson’s next contract.

Despite that, the Dubs may have some concerns. While started the regular season with a 5-1 record, their recent loss has fans concerned.
