For years, NBA fans, members of the media and even players have speculated about the end of the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty.
They’ve gotten back on their feet time and time again. However, with Steve Kerr potentially not returning next season, this finally feels like the end.
Considering that, even Draymond Green knows his days in the Bay Area might also be coming to an end.
In the latest edition of his podcast, the four-time NBA champion was candid and frank about all the uncertainty ahead.
Draymond Green doesn’t know if he’ll be back with the Warriors
“I have a player option coming up this year, this summer. I don’t know what’s going to happen. What does that look like? Is that an opt-in and finish the contract? Is that an opt-in and get traded? Is that an opt-out and sign a long-term deal? I don’t know what that looks like,” Green confessed.
Green didn’t shut the door on a potential reunion. He’s always been open about his desire to be a Warrior for life. That said, he knows there’s due process, and he’ll just have to wait.
“We obviously haven’t had our conversations yet. I have exit interviews coming up this week, and none of that stuff will get done in an exit interview,” he added.
Green turned back the clock this season. While he wasn’t much of a factor as a scorer, he played amazing defense, especially down the stretch. He even shut down Kawhi Leonard in the second half of the play-in tournament game.
Green is hot-headed and comes with some baggage, but he’s also been the dynasty’s heart and soul and vocal leader. The Warriors have some tough conversations to have in the offseason, and they must do whatever it takes to maximize Steph Curry’s window while it’s still open.
