The Warriors have re-signed Draymond Green to a four-year deal worth $100 million at the start of free agency with a commitment to keep the core together.
According to Marc Stein, the Warriors have signed Draymond Green to a $100 million deal over the next four years. This means that the average annual value per year will be 25 million dollars per year. Shams Charania added that the deal does have a player option in the fourth year.
Multiple teams have been rumored to end up stealing Green from the Golden State. One of those teams included the Sacramento Kings. They ended up taking themselves out of the talks after extending Harrison Barnes. This was due to the fact that it was most likely known by the Kings' front office that the Warriors were gonna be able to re-sign the player.
What does re-signing Draymond Green mean for the Warriors?
The Golden State Warriors will be riding out with the core that they have. This was signaled once they traded Jordan Poole for Chris Paul in what was a cap dump for the team.
Yes, Thompson needs to be re-signed next season to a similar deal but this shows that the Warriors are going down that road.
The Warriors are still a force to reckoned with in the Western Conference with Green returning.
Yes, the Warriors might be a one-star team that has declining talent in Klay Thompson and Green paired with Stephen Curry, but that trio deserves to go out together. This shows that they most likely will over the next couple of years.
They might not end up being better than the Lakers, Suns, or Nuggets, but they will certainly be a team that ends up in the conversation to come out of the West next season.
This is the right thing to do for a core that won four titles in eight years. It will be very cool to watch the core play out the rest of their career together.
