Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors are likely to agree to a new multi-year contract this offseason, despite declining a $27.5 (£21.6m) million player option.
Green, 33, is entering unrestricted free agency for the first time ahead of Year 12 in the league. The four-time NBA champion has spent over a decade in the Bay after being drafted by the Warriors in 2012.
There have been hints this offseason about the veteran joining up with LeBron James at the Los Angeles Lakers, but such a move does not seem financially feasible. Conversely, Golden State has moved to free up future cap space by trading Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul.
