Draymond Green: “I think to understand this statement though, you always have to understand the way KD view basketball. And the way KD view basketball is very Uncle Drewish. This game will and always will be about buckets that’s how KD view the game. So when KD say, “Yo, they got four 25 point scorers, you have to understand in KD mind what that means.” So first off in order to understand Kevin’s statement, you have to understand his mindset and how he see the game and how he see the game. This game is about buckets. So when he mentioned, Yo, they got four 25 point scorers. Hell yeah, they’re going to be a contender. That’s how KD see the game. It’s going to be league pass worthy. Absolutely. But that is how KD see the game. So he’s going to mention to 25 point scorers. And I again I think everybody look at that and be like, “Oh man, that team is nothing like that team was like I don’t think he never said that.”
Draymond Green: I pretty much resigned, not pretty much I did resign for the same amount that I opted out of. Obviously there was hope that we would land a guy with the mid-level slot that didn’t happen so I opted back in a sense to my deal. You know, it was kind of no other reason to not do that. So, shout out to the Dubs. It was reported that I did not receive the no trade clause, no I didn’t. I think it was something that we could have fought over but it wasn’t worth fighting over. You know, I think if the Warriors want to trade me at some point of the season, the want to trade me I’ve never been a guy who wants to stay somewhere where I’m not wanted.
Aly: Meanwhile Draymond Green on Threads: Slim thought he was on his burner?
That has forced the Warriors to find advantages in new places. “Chase South” is one of them. “If you come in here and you haven’t seen it before, you’ll go, ‘Wow, are we at the Chase Center?’” Warriors assistant general manager Larry Harris said. Inside the Las Vegas Basketball Center, pictures of Curry, Draymond Green, Steve Kerr and other current and former team staffers, players and coaches adorn the walls. Warriors and Golden State Valkyries banners hang from the ceiling. Two of the actual courts the Warriors played on over the last few seasons make up part of the Las Vegas facility’s five full-sized courts. A weight room sits in the back of the building. Longtime Warriors public relations maestro Raymond Ridder and his staff have a dedicated workspace. So does the team chef, who puts together made-to-order meals while players get their work in on the courts nearby.
Rick Carlisle: ‘Nobody can tell me that Magic Johnson and Larry Bird wouldn't have been top players in the league today. Greatness is going to be great regardless of the era. You are going to try to tell me that Russell wouldn't be great in this era? Russell, the guy who threw up before every game because he couldn't stomach the idea of losing and he had such impact on winning, can you imagine having that guy leading your team? That was the early version of Draymond Green.’

When appearing on "The Draymond Green Show," Rick Carlisle shared that he advised Steve Kerr to consider the Golden State job seriously rather than signing on with the New York Knicks. "I said, 'What's going on with the Knicks? I keep hearing you're going to take the job, but it hasn't happened yet,'" Carlisle told Green of his conversation with Kerr. "He said, 'Well, they don't -- they don't want to do the fourth year.' Now, this was when it was this was a different regime, and they were they were quabbling over the fourth year. "And I said, 'Steve, do you have any idea how much money that the Madison Square Garden operation has with Cable Vision and all that?' ... He goes, 'Well, there's -- I don't know -- some reasons.' I said, 'I've heard your name with Golden State a little bit. ... That is a conference finals team, like right now. If you want to go to a team ready to win, that's the place you should go if you can.'"
Anthony Slater: "Rui Hachimura is a guy that (Warriors) looked at. They wouldn't have gone to the full mid-level type number that they were willing to get to for LeBron James because again that would have cost Moses Moody on a trade and then a Draymond Green pay cut that clearly Draymond was executing only for LeBron James."
NBA Base: Draymond Green fired back at Josh Hart on Threads: "Dude waited 2 years to respond to that video from 520? Why not say it then? Let's normalize not front runnin and talking while you up. Be on the same type of time AT ALL TIMES!"
As part of the agreement, Green is waiving his implicit no-trade clause and receiving back his 15% trade kicker. The Warriors have no immediate plan to move him but want to maintain the ability to execute deals freely. That is in line with their prioritization of near-term flexibility and clean long-term books. There remains mutual interest in a Curry extension when he's eligible in late August, league sources said, but nearly the rest of the roster is vulnerable in the next calendar year.

Keith Smith: If Draymond Green's contract is exactly the same as the option he declined, he'll make $27,678,571 for 26-27. That'll put GSW just over the first apron and about $12.4M under the second apron. That's with three roster spots that must be filled, one of which will reportedly go to De'Anthony Melton.
Josh Hart: We got to normalize grown men not counting other peoples pockets dank: Draymond Green says Jalen Brunson shouldn't have taken a $100,000,000 discount with the Knicks “It's the New York Knicks, bro. They can afford it. You ain't got to take no discount for them to get paid. My situation is different because Steph making $270 million, Klay making $180 million. All right, something got to give. Cool. I can take a less” “He the top guy. Let Josh Hart or somebody else take less. They in my role. Guess what, Steph Curry ain't take a penny less. And neither did Klay Thompson ain't take a penny less. I don't know what he doing. That's $100 million”
Draymond Green: "I saw Marcus Thompson come out and say, 'Steph is probably tired of star chasing.' What I want to point out is, probably. So often times people are negative and don't read and don't comprehend. I saw a lot of people like, 'Uh-oh, Steph said he tired of star chasing.' And when I read this, I was like, 'Huh, Steph is probably tired of star chasing.' That's interesting. Probably would mean maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But probably you definitely can't just cross the probably out and be like, 'Tired of star chasing.' That doesn't work."
