Draymond Green Re-signs with Warriors on 1-Year, $27.7M Pact

Draymond Green has re-signed with the Golden State Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million contract for his 15th season, keeping him as the team's defensive anchor and emotional leader while preserving salary-cap flexibility for potential big moves. He declined the previous $28 million option to aid roster-building, and with LeBron James' decision to join the 76ers shaping the offseason, Green's return also positions the Warriors to mentor rookie Yaxel Lendeborg as they try to blend veteran leadership with youth.
