Warriors GM Reveals Whether He Plans to Bring Draymond Back Next Season

The Golden State Warriors front office has some big questions to address this summer. Are they going to try to run things back with the core of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler? Or are they going to try to shake things up?

With Jimmy Butler recovering from an ACL tear, his spot on the team is relatively safe. Naturally, the next person to look at moving on from would be Draymond Green. Green has a player option this offseason, and could be available for a contract extension. Will the Warriors extend that offer?

General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. recently spoke on what he thinks the Warriors will do with Green moving forward. 

"It's hard to picture this team without Steph, without Draymond, without Steve. So, I don't really picture those things. But you know, kind of to the point of the answer about Steph being back this year, like if we're operating absolutes, like it's impossible for me to guarantee anything. But we want Draymond here. We want him to finish his career here just like we do Steph. So, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be back. I mean, we got to finish this season. I'm so much more focused on these last 20 games than I am on 'Ok, what are we doing this summer?'"

We’ve already heard rumors that Draymond was being dangled in a possible Giannis Antetokounmpo trade. This means, despite what Dunleavy says, the Warriors were willing to part with Green. That’s why it is impossible for him to guarantee anything. If the Warriors have the opportunity to get better, and that means getting rid of Green, they are totally willing to take the chance.
