Draymond Green agrees to a 1-year, $27.7M contract to remain with the Warriors,
AP source says

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Draymond Green has agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million
deal to return to the Golden State Warriors, a person familiar with the
decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Green will sign the contract that essentially matches the deal he opted out of
last month before the Warriors made an unsuccessful bid to sign LeBron James,
the person said.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn't been
announced.
ESPN first reported the deal.
Green is now set to play his 15th season with the Warriors and if he plays in
51 games he will join Stephen Curry as the only players in franchise history to
appear in at least 1,000 contests.
Green, Curry and coach Steve Kerr are the main remaining pieces of the team
from the dynasty that delivered four championships. Golden State last won the
title in 2022 and haven't made it past the second round of the playoffs since
then. The Warriors missed the playoffs this past season when they lost to
Phoenix in the play-in tournament.
Golden State tried to add James earlier this offseason and Green waited to sign
his deal until after James made his decision to sign with Philadelphia to give
the Warriors more flexibility. Green, Curry and Jimmy Butler are all entering
the final seasons of their current contracts, although Curry could sign an
extension starting late next month.
Green has been one of the best defensive players in the NBA since being drafted
in the second round in 2012. He has made nine all-defensive teams and was named
the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2016-17.
He has averaged 8.7 points per game in his career, along with 6.8 rebounds and
5.6 assists. He averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 68 games
last season for Golden State.
