The Warriors’ quest to defend their NBA title ended on Friday night in a 122–101 loss at the hands of LeBron James and the Lakers.
Things could look drastically different in Golden State next season, as Draymond Green, a core member of the Warriors’ four championship teams, has an opt-out clause in his contract that would allow him to test free agency. Despite the impending decision contractually, Green said that wants to remain a “Warrior for life.”
“We’ll see what happens as far as my contract goes,” Green said. “Obviously I have an opt-out. Everybody knows about that. I know about that, I’m aware of that. But as I’ve told you guys for years, I want to be a Warrior for the rest of my life. I wanna ride out with the same dudes I rode in with. And I think we’ve put the work in to make that happen and here we are with our worst season as a whole since 2014 and yet, we had a chance to make another run. It’s never as bad as it seems, it’s never as good as it seems…”
