Draymond Green has agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million deal to return for his 15th NBA season with the Golden State Warriors.
This one-year contract matches the 2026-27 player option he declined in order to give the Warriors more flexibility to pursue LeBron James earlier this offseason. But with James choosing to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, Green and the Warriors were able to return to their original agreement.
Green has been with the Warriors organization since they selected him with a second-round pick in 2012. The veteran forward helped Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and the Golden State franchise secure four championship rings.

"We built this thing up from the ground. It's a different feeling for us, because that's our baby. The Warriors weren't [expletive]. They were nothing. To see that growth and take part in that growth, that's not something you just walk away from. They would have to not want me anymore," Green said on "The Big Podcast" with Shaquille O'Neal.

"Because I love that organization, I will always do right by that organization," Green added. "I'd rather struggle with the same guys that I succeeded with."
