Draymond Green is back with the Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million contract after he declined a player option for the same amount to give his longtime franchise financial flexibility to pursue LeBron James.
On Friday, James decided to join the 76ers on a two-year, $8 million contract with a player option on the second season. His decision wasn’t about money; it was about pursuing a fifth title with a fourth different franchise as James decided Philly gave him the best option to do so with the core of Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe.
