While 10 days have passed since Draymond Green declined his $27.5 million contract option for the 2023–24 season, majority around the league expect the Warriors forward to sign a new deal and return to the franchise after the league’s NBA free agency window opens on Friday.
However, as Green explores options regarding his future, the four-time NBA champion has remained transparent with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. In an upcoming episode of Podcast P with Paul George, Green shared that it was important for him to keep the Splash Brothers in the loop of his thoughts about his future.
“These are guys who like go to war with. These are guys that when we’re done playin’ I’ll still see them, I’ll still keep in contact,” Green said on the podcast. “… I don’t want it to get down to a point to where if I was to leave … that it’s just like wham! Like hey fellas, just FYI, I’m gone. … Or, it come across like your phone and I don’t get a chance to tell you. … I’m in touch with them a couple times a week right now just kinda letting them know my mindset, what I’m thinking, what I’m hearing, ya know.
