Draymond Green Declines Player Option Amid Warriors' LeBron James, Anthony Davis Links
The move gives Golden State $15.1 million in midlevel exception flexibility as it weighs a run at LeBron James and trade talks for Anthony Davis.
- On Monday, Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green declined his $27.6 million player option, creating salary-cap flexibility for the franchise's reported pursuit of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
- The Warriors are looking to rebuild their starting lineup around star guard Stephon Curry, aiming to capitalize on this off-season window for major roster improvements.
- Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul represents all three players, enabling Golden State to offer James the full $15.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception regardless of any Davis trade negotiations.
- Negotiations with the Los Angeles Lakers have stalled, though acquiring Davis would likely require the Warriors to include superstar wing Jimmy Butler, who is recovering from ACL surgery.
- Although GM Mike Dunleavy previously expected Green to opt in, the 36-year-old could still return on a multiyear deal at lower salary as NBA free agency negotiations officially open on Tuesday.
