Draymond Green Stays with Golden State: One-Year Pact
28 Jul
Summary
- Draymond Green inks a one-year deal worth $27.7 million.
- He will play his 15th season, aiming for 1,000 games with the Warriors.
- Green is a key piece of the dynasty that won four championships.
Draymond Green is set to return to the Golden State Warriors after agreeing to a one-year contract valued at $27.7 million. This agreement essentially matches the deal he previously opted out of.
Green is slated to play his 15th season with the franchise. He is on track to join Stephen Curry as the only players in Warriors history to reach at least 1,000 games played, provided he appears in 51 games.
He remains a critical component of the team that achieved four championships, alongside Stephen Curry and coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors last won the NBA title in 2022 but have not advanced beyond the second round of the playoffs since then. This past season, the team missed the playoffs entirely.
The Warriors had previously pursued LeBron James earlier in the offseason, with Green deferring his contract decision until after James committed to Philadelphia. This strategy allowed Golden State greater flexibility. Green, Curry, and Jimmy Butler are entering the final years of their current contracts, though Curry may sign an extension soon.
