Green, however, is unlikely to decline his $27.5 million option. “For Draymond Green with that $27.5 million option next season, he almost assuredly is going to exercise that,” said Adrian Wojnarowski. “I’m not sure that money, on a long-term deal, is going to be available on the marketplace. “Two years left on his deal.

Throughout most of Indiana’s recent history, they have ranged from a solid to a strong playoff team.

They are now projected to have one of their worst teams in franchise history after pivoting to a full rebuild, and that’s before potentially trading some of their top remaining rotation players.
