Draymond Green declining player option to become free agent

SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.5 million player option and will enter unrestricted free agency, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday.

"We will continue to talk to Golden State and explore all options," Paul told ESPN.

It was expected Green would opt out and now he can talk with the Warriors as well as explore sign-and-trades and free agency.

The Warriors, though, have been motivated to sign Green on a new deal, sources said.

The four-time All-Star has been a pillar for the Warriors dynasty over the last decade since he was drafted with the 35th overall pick in 2012.
