Following the news that Warriors forward Draymond Green had declined his $27.6 million player option earlier this week, Stephen A. Smith stated on ESPN’s First Take that the Warriors needed to keep the unrestricted free agent forward, no matter the cost.
“$100 to $120 million in today’s NBA economy, with KAT signing for $250M and they ain’t win a damn thing?” Smith exclaimed. “I don’t want to hear that Draymond Green ain’t worth that money. You’re damn right he’s worth that money.”
On Friday, the four-time NBA champion re-shared an NBAonESPN Instagram post that summed up Smith’s comments on his own Instagram story, adding praying and fingers-crossed emojis to seemingly make clear that he agreed with the First Take host’s assessment.
