Golden State Warriors: Draymond Green could command more money than initially projected

The Golden State Warriors and Draymond Green are expected to reunite on a new multi-year deal in free agency, but the franchise’s financial commitment to the four-time champion may now need to be more than initially projected.

The 33-year-old opted out from his $27.6 million player option for next season, leaving him as an unrestricted free agent. It was initially projected that Green may earn less per year on a multi-year deal, though it now appears the Warriors will struggle to find savings on their exorbitant luxury tax bill.

The Golden State Warriors may need to fork out $100 million in order to retain Draymond Green once free agency opens on Friday.
