Draymond Green likely to re-sign with Warriors
Adrian Wojnarowski: “These are two sides who very much want to get a deal done. Draymond and Rich Paul, they’re not really posturing here, threatening that they’re gonna go somewhere else. There are great options out there for them. Teams with cap space like Detroit in his home state of Michigan, and then a bunch of other contenders who would need help from the Warriors in sing-and-trade scenarios. But I think there’s certainly a desire on both sides to stay together. They want each other. Draymond Green, the idea of continuing with Steph Curry and with Klay Thompson and certainly with Steve Kerr, I think it means the world to him. It’s just a matter of negotiation: is it a four-year deal, or is it a three-year deal? I don’t sense at all any real sense on either side that this could get sideways. It could happen but I think these sides are destined to reunite.”

Dunleavy can’t comment on the report about Draymond Green going to opt out.
“We really want Draymond back,” Dunleavy said. Green is important for this to play at a high level. “We feel like we have to have him. So that’s very important.” – 2:16 PM

One thing on Draymond Green: A sign-and-trade would hard-cap the Suns at $169M, which means they could not go over that line. They’re already at $131M between Booker, Beal and KD alone. So between Dray needing to take a discount AND still work out the S&T math…good luck w/ that – 12:44 PM

I’ve been told Draymond is seeking a contract that lines up with Steph’s in terms of length.
Look for a three year extension. – 12:41 PM

Draymond Green has been a great player, but for some reason it feels like if he leaves the Warriors he’s going to disappoint the hell out of some team/fanbase … which I guess means I’m predicting he’ll be a Mav (not really — but, yeah) – 12:25 PM

Draymond Green can still avoid free agency and extend with the Warriors by June 30.
The Warriors still project to be well over the second tax apron even if he leaves as a free agent.
This offseason is the last time second apron teams could get back players in a sign-and-trade. pic.twitter.com/AXl2fsFWek – 12:19 PM

No doubt, Dunleavy has been on the job in the 20 days since Myers stepped down last month. And Green becoming a free agent was a predictable step. Still, the news brought to the forefront the reality that Green could leave and, per the accounts of the head coach and former GM, take the Warriors’ title hopes with him. His big day, usually ceremonial in nature, illustrated the massive stakes riding on Dunleavy and offered a first glimpse of how he’ll handle being in the Instant Pot that is life as the Warriors’ GM. “I think I will say,” Dunleavy said, “Steve (Kerr) has said it and I will reiterate it — we really want Draymond back. What he means in terms of this organization and this team, winning at the highest level, we feel like we have to have him. So that’s very important.” -via The Athletic / June 20, 2023
