Draymond Green

Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley pitched a trade sending Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and a top-4 protected 2028 first-round pick to Chicago, while Bleacher Report colleague Dan Favale floated a similar version of the same swap.

Stephen Curry's new two-year, $116 million extension leaves Golden State with more room to maneuver than a max deal would have.

Lake Show Life's Svyatoslav Rovenchuk floated a trade sending Draymond Green to the Lakers, arguing his defense could pair with Walker Kessler and mask Sandro Mamukelashvili's weaker side of the ball. Green re-signed with Golden State this offseason on a one-year, $28 million deal.

Draymond Green says he nearly left Golden State for Memphis in 2023 free agency, with the Grizzlies offering roughly $10M more than the Warriors' initial proposal.

Golden State's offseason wrap includes Draymond Green re-signing for one year at $27.7M with a trade kicker, Al Horford agreeing to two years and $13.99M, and De'Anthony Melton returning on a two-year, $12.4M deal. Gary Payton II, Georges Niang, Charles Bassey and several others signed minimum-salary deals.

Draymond Green said on his podcast that he once told the Warriors he wanted to leave for Memphis. He said the Grizzlies' offer was roughly $10 million a year more than Golden State's, prompting him to push for a sign-and-trade.

A proposed deadline deal has the Trail Blazers sending Jrue Holiday to Golden State for Draymond Green and De'Anthony Melton, thinning Portland's crowded backcourt of Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe while adding a frontcourt defender.

Golden State and Stephen Curry are expected to begin extension talks the moment he becomes eligible on August 29, with ESPN's Anthony Slater reporting both sides want him to stay a Warrior for life.

Grades have been handed out for the offseason's notable free agent signings and contract extensions. Among the deals assessed is Draymond Green agreeing to a one-year contract to stay with Golden State. Extensions involving LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama are also graded, among others.

Warriors beat writer Marcus Thompson said on Kevin O'Connor's podcast that Golden State could trade Draymond Green by the February deadline if the season goes sideways, since he becomes movable after December 15.
