Draymond Green nearing new deal with Golden State Warriors this week

An NBA insider has indicated that Draymond Green could finalize a new deal with the Golden State Warriors as early as this week. The insider suggests that either a one-year contract, similar in value to the $27.7 million player option Green declined, or a multi-year deal at a lower annual value is possible. The Warriors front office is looking to minimize guaranteed money in the future, but there is a mutual desire for Green to retire with the franchise. This deal could allow the Warriors to reassess their roster ahead of next year's contention, especially as Stephen Curry has yet to sign an extension.
