With free agency set to begin Friday, the rumor mill is churning, and there’s a key Warriors figure at the heart of some of the gossip: Draymond Green.
Green is expected to decline his $27.6 million player option by Thursday’s deadline, which will make him an unrestricted free agent. The Warriors will have a slew of decisions to make, but bringing back Green remains their top priority.
Conversations with any team could help drive up the asking price for Green, who’s looking for one last big payday before his playing career is over. The Warriors might be situated well above the salary cap, but they have Green’s Bird Rights, meaning they can re-sign him anyway.
