With their pursuit of LeBron James having come up short, the Golden State Warriors are expected to pivot to re-signing Draymond Green. The expectation is the Green will re-sign at a figure close to the $28 million player option that he opted out of at the beginning of the offseason.

Green has always been expected to stay with Golden State. The question was what kind of contract the veteran forward would re-sign for. The Warriors had been keeping flexibility, in case James chose to sign with them. Now that James has picked the Philadelphia 76ers, Mike Dunleavy Jr. can turn to re-signing Green, De'Anthony Melton and filling out the rest of his roster.
