Draymond Green got real this week about his future with the Warriors.
In an interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, Green volunteered that a day would come when he’s not playing for the Warriors.
“The writing’s on the wall,” the four-time NBA champion said.
Green, 32, discussed several other topics throughout the interview, including how his preseason punch of Jordan Poole altered their once brotherly-like relationship. But when it comes to his future with the team that took a chance on him, picking him in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft out of Michigan State, Green said he understands the business of the league.
He said he would “love” to end his career with the Warriors, but their massive luxury tax bill makes it nearly impossible for them to continue to dish out even money.
“We tend to get into this someone owes us something because of what we’ve accomplished. You’d be an idiot to walk around feeling that way,” Green said. “I feel like you’re just setting yourself up for failure, you’re setting yourself up for heartbreak, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
“I understand the luxury tax, I understand you’ve got these young guys and contracts up and they have to be paid, I understand all those things and so just for me that’s what I mean by the writing’s on the wall.”
Green has a player option for next season worth $27.6 million. That means, barring a trade, he could have at least one last season with the Warriors if he decides to opt in. If not, he could be an unrestricted free agent as soon as next summer.
