Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Draymond Green has re-signed with the Golden State Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million deal, returning to the only NBA team he has played for in his career.
- Green declined a player option for the 2026-27 season to give the Warriors more salary flexibility, but the team missed out on signing other major free agents like LeBron James.
- Known for his defensive brilliance and leadership, Green averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists last season, though the Warriors were outscored when he was on the court.
- The Warriors are dealing with an aging roster and recent struggles, including missing the playoffs twice in three years and trading Jonathan Kuminga for Kristaps Porziņģis, who re-signed for two years.
- Golden State considered pursuing other veteran stars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis but faced challenges, with James signing elsewhere and the Wizards reluctant to trade Davis.
