Draymond Green addresses contract situation with Warriors
As his future remains cloudy and uncertain in the Bay Area, Draymond Green made it clear that he has no further answers about what lies ahead.
As such, he is keeping his head high this 2022-23 season of trying to defend the title with the Golden State Warriors.
“My general view of the year is I’m here this year trying to win a championship,” Green said. “I have a contract that ranges through next year. If I so choose to pick up that option, that is my view of how it will be here. We all have a goal to win a championship and that is that. As far as what I think of a contract or an extension, we started camp and I spoke on that at the very beginning, I said ‘I don’t think we’re doing an extension.’ Quite frankly, that doesn’t mean I won’t be back here, I just don’t think we’re doing an extension this year.
“If you’re going to let a contract situation linger, then you better be damn sure that you’re willing to handle all the effects of a contract lingering, that it can have on a team. Everybody don’t do that. We’ve seen LeBron James have contract situations, we’ve seen Stephen Curry have contract situations. They handle it the way it’s supposed to be handled. Can’t say that for everyone.”
Following this season, Green has a $27.6MM player option which he can decide if he’ll pick it up or not.
No matter what will be the verdict at the end, Green will hold his ground of being the franchise’ heart and soul.
