Eligible for a rookie-scale extension, the 23-year-old guard\u2019s camp seeks a payday in the $22\u2013$25 million range annually, driven by his starting-level production, high-IQ passing, and relentless rebounding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">However, Golden State prefers a conservative $15\u2013$18 million sweet spot to preserve second-apron flexibility around Stephen Curry. Paying premium money to a low-volume creator carries real risk. If negotiations stall, Golden State can let the market dictate his value in restricted free agency next summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">SB Nation asked Warriors fans which kind of extension should the Warriors give Podziemski. Here\u2019s what they said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Does Podziemski deserve the reported asking price he and his representation are seeking? Or does his profile as a low-volume creator make that too steep of a price to pay?
