Draymond Green reportedly looks to sign extension with Golden State Warriors
It shouldn't be surprising to fans around the basketball world that Green is already eyeing his extension with the Warriors. The team will have some problematic cap situations to monitor moving forward. These cap situations could make Draymond's "demands" challenging to fulfill.
Golden State already has several players on their roster with hefty contracts, including Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Forward Andrew Wiggins is also still on the books, and rising star Jordan Poole is soon up for a big pay raise.
Green is most likely looking for a big payday regarding his next contract extension. In 46 games for the Warriors last year, Green posted averages of 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game while shooting 52.5% from the field.
