Draymond Green is declining his $27.5 million contract option for 2023-24 season, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. The move allows Green and the Warriors to discuss a new deal, sign-and-trade scenarios and even free agency.
“We will continue to talk to Golden State and explore all options,” Green’s agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN.
Green’s future with the team that drafted him in 2012 has been a major storyline for nearly a year now, but the 33-year-old has maintained that he never wants to play for another franchise for the rest of his career. He restated that conviction after his team’s playoff exit in May.
