While he has a player option on his contract, Draymond Green should test the market this summer. Goal for the Golden State pit bull? Obtain one last nice contract. At the Warriors or elsewhere?
Mike Dunleavy Jr. has just been named head of sports operations at Golden State and he already knows he’s going to have to handle a big file quickly. According to information from Marc J. Spears, Draymond Green should not activate his player option to the tune of $26 million. If the info is confirmed, the interior of the Dubs will therefore in theory be able to set sail from July 1 by accepting the offer of another team. Nevertheless, the insider seems to think that the Warriors will fight to keep the one who embodies the soul and aggressiveness of this team.
“From what I’ve been told, the Warriors expect Draymond Green to not activate the final year of his $26 million contract. But Joe Lacob, Mike Dunleavy and the Warriors are going to do everything in their power to bring him back.”
This is a story that is therefore likely to be decided around a table and the big question will be how much the player wants and how much the franchise believes it can put. We know that the finances at Golden State are in dark red but to maintain a historic framework for the team, it will undoubtedly be necessary to make a new effort. Despite his past misbehavior and his sometimes very borderline behavior, losing Green would indeed be a big shock for Steph Curry and company, especially since other major elements of the team will soon have to decide their future as well (Klay Thompson and Steve Kerr have only one year of contract left). The positive point is that the player has explained several times this season that he wants to stay in the Bay. If everyone does their part, the deal seems feasible for the Warriors.
This season, Draymond Green was averaging 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists and one steal. He was also selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.
