One of the greatest topics of conversation this season has been Draymond Green’s future with the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors veteran recently shared his thoughts on that, alongside his honest thoughts on when he wants to retire from the league. He spoke about it in a recent appearance with Chris Haynes and Marc Stein.
“I also don’t wanna play 20 years in the NBA, I wanna play 15 years in the NBA,” Green said. “So, I think it’s very realistic that in four more years, I’ll still be contributing at a high level. … I do want to be here. As far as the probability goes, I can’t necessarily give you that because it’s not up to me.”

While Green wants to finish his career with the Warriors, he is still aware of the fact that he may end up going elsewhere.
Moreover, Green has dropped a truth bomb about his future in the league. The 33-year-old wants to spend four more years in the NBA. Either way, the next deal he signs in the league will most likely be the final deal of his career.
Should The Golden State Warriors Re-Sign Draymond Green?
Draymond Green currently has a $27.5 million player option which he can exercise this summer. Considering his performances have declined over the last couple of years, it’s hard to see Green deny his player option.
Essentially Green will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2024, and that’s when he wants to sign a three-year deal that will expire in 2027.
But should the Warriors provide Green with that deal? Well, looking at his stats, Green averaged 8.5 PPG, 7.2 RPG, and 6,8 APG this season. Green’s numbers may not jump out of the box, but he is a valuable asset to the team.
He is a massive voice in the locker room and unites the team when required. Moreover, he has a great relationship with Stephen Curry. Keeping that in mind, if the Warriors do not re-sign Green, it could upset the two-time NBA MVP.
As of now, Green and the Warriors are focused on playing against the Sacramento Kings in the playoffs. The organization will most likely make the final call after seeing how he performs in the postseason.
