Following James' decision, Green re-signed with the Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million deal, restoring his previous salary. Despite the lighthearted banter and his near injury during the show, Green expressed satisfaction with his contract status, as the Warriors face a transitional period heading into the next campaign.
