Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.5 million player option for the 2023-24 season, his agent Rich Paul tells ShamsCharania. Both Golden State and Green expressed interest in a reunion following the Warriors' playoff exit.
Green is searching for longer-term security. He’s 33 and this could be the last big-money deal of his career. He’s coming off a great defensive season, again proving his on-court value. The decision to opt out would signal that he has a market out there for at, near or even a bit above that $27.5 million option, but for multiple seasons. The Warriors are still very much in the mix. —It’s clear that the coaches and veterans want Green back.
But the question resides at the front office and ownership level now. How much are they willing to pay Green and for how long?Every extra million they are stretched is an extra $7-plus million and beyond in repeater tax penalties. That’s even more complicated by the punitive restrictions on the next CBA, which crushes teams above the second tax apron. It doesn’t kick in for another season but this Green deal will stretch past that timeframe. —Green holds career averages of 8.7 points, 7.
