The Golden State Warriors are in a bit of a money quandary this summer. They have four players who will all need new contracts soon – Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole – and would have to pay a ridiculous luxury tax if they kept most of them.
Green, the boisterous big man who just claimed his fourth NBA Finals championship trophy with the Warriors since their dynasty began in 2014 is eligible for a new contract as soon August 3, and sources told The Athletic's Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II that Green believes he deserves a maximum contract that would lock him in for $164.
