"Free agent forward Draymond Green has agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract with a player option in the final season to re-sign with the Golden State Warriors on the first day of free agency, sources tell ESPN’s Andscape. Green, Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson stay together."
Figured it was kind of a legacy contract, plus he's still a very smart player on the court and an incredible defender+decent playmaker. He also knows Kerr's system inside and out. I can see why they did this.
I appreciate teams rewarding loyalty but it sort of feels like an overpay on the backend to me. He's 33 now and not exactly a player known for peak fitness.
This salary puts him in top 60 highest paid at the moment. I know cap will go up and he'll drop on this list but still we might look at the last 2 years of this contract as an anchor killing their ability to compete.

It really seems like the Warriors front office has derailed after so many years of solid moves.

Especially with the player option. Though I suppose $25m will be a small contract four years from now.

Honestly reasonably contract both for Draymond and for the Warriors

That's a longer term than I expected, i guess they think they can still win this season, maybe the one after.

I figured he was gone after the shit with Poole. I know Poole is gone, but I figured they wouldn't want that toxicity on the team any more.

4 years with a player option is definitely a longer contract than I expected, Klutch putting in work

Interesting. There was a a lot of speculation going around that he’s leave the dubs.
