Patrick McCaw to decline one-year, $1.7 million qualifying offer
Guard Patrick McCaw plans to decline his one-year, $1.7 million qualifying offer with the Warriors, allowing Monday night’s deadline to pass as he remains a restricted free agent.
McCaw is reportedly considering a two-year, $5 million contract, with the second year unguaranteed. Because McCaw is a restricted free agent, any offer he receives from another team can be matched by the Warriors.
McCaw has now missed five Golden State practices. Asked Monday afternoon about McCaw’s situation, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, "We think about. We talk about it, but we go about our business.”
The Warriors, who have 13 players — two shy of the league maximum — under contract, are open to entering the season with only 14.
