What's Next in NBA Offseason After LeBron's Decision? Harden, Draymond, Duren Eye Deals
The Athletic reported Green is expected to return on a deal near $28 million after the Warriors missed on LeBron James.
- Following LeBron James' decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, the Golden State Warriors are expected to re-sign Draymond Green and shift their offseason focus.
- Draymond Green opted out of his contract last month to provide the Warriors with financial flexibility to pursue James; the 36-year-old veteran's sacrifice ultimately proved unnecessary.
- Golden State is expected to sign Green for nearly $28 million, roughly matching the $27.6 million from the player option he declined. According to The Athletic's Joe Vardon and David Aldridge, this recovers his foregone salary.
- With James' decision finalized, teams across the NBA can now shift focus to remaining offseason tasks, including the restricted free agent market where Jalen Duren, Peyton Watson, and Bennedict Mathurin are top targets.
- The Warriors remain focused on surrounding Stephen Curry and Green with veteran reinforcements to improve upon last season's 37-45 record and contend with Thunder and Spurs rivals in the West.
