Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that The Athletic’s Sam Amick said the Warriors will listen to trade offers for Draymond Green and that Green is aware of that possibility.
- Green is not eligible to be traded until Dec. 15 because he signed a one-year, roughly $27.6–$27.7 million deal this summer and will be a free agent after 2026–27.
- On the court this season Green has posted career-low scoring and shot numbers while still providing strong defense, playmaking and veteran leadership that complicate his market value.
- The Sacramento Kings were identified as a realistic suitor because of GM Scott Perry’s personal ties to Green and the Kings’ interest in veteran mentorship for young players; coverage has floated centers such as Domantas Sabonis as the type of return the Warriors would want.
- A trade would test the Warriors’ win-now window around Stephen Curry by swapping a long-time defensive leader for roster help at center, and it would carry cultural weight given Green’s 15 seasons and four championships in Golden State.
