Golden State Warriors has been the brand new champion of the 2021/22 season of the NBA after a practically perfect course from the squad led by Steve Kerr, without losing energy in the regular phase and sweeping through all the playoffs. Although the team from La Bahía will keep its block of stars next season, the franchise’s ‘Big Three’ could fall apart in 2023.
Draymond Green, whose contract expires next year (although he has a player option worth $27.5 million for 2023/24), wants to get a contract extension with the Warriors throughout the next NBA season. And according to journalists from The Athletic, Anthony Slater y Marcus Thompson IIwants to do it for the maximum salary.
“The four-time winner of the ring with GSW considers that he deserves a contract of that height, and would like its extension to be for about four seasons. However, everything indicates that the Warriors do not have plans to offer Draymond such a contract. , and they have not begun to negotiate for it either,” advances The Athletic.
While Green’s desire is to continue his entire career in Golden State, Slater and Thompson talk about a possibility of leaving the franchise in search of that contract elsewhere: “He is willing to explore all the external options that he can. That risk seems that the Warriors themselves have decided to take it on without a problem.
