Warriors $2.9 Trillion Manly player Ends Up The Line With Team Due To…..
Draymond Green’s future with the Golden State Warriors is a hot topic. The veteran forward is serving his second suspension of the season with an indefinite timeline. He has been involved in multiple altercations over the past 18 months, spanning back to his assault on Jordan Poole during Golden State’s 2022 training camp.
During the off-season, Green signed a four-year $100M contract extension with Golden State. However, his recent transgressions have left question marks over his future with the franchise. The Warriors have struggled to reach their usual standards this season. A trade may be the only way to turn their season around.
In his recent article for The Ringer, Kevin O’Connor noted how Green would still have a trade market should he be made available.
Green is a four-time NBA champion. He’s also an eight-time All-Defensive team selection and a former Defensive Player of the Year. Multiple contending teams could potentially show interest in acquiring him despite his recent disciplinary issues.
Golden State would be unlikely to part ways with Green for a discounted price. It understands the value he provides to their rotation when on the court; it’s why the team re-signed him during the summer. As such, negotiations could get tricky. Any team looking to acquire him would likely want some form of discount due to his current suspension and his recent track record with the league.
Green’s future is anything but clear. However, his time with the Warriors will run until at least the end of the season. If he can return to the rotation and prove he can stay out of trouble, he could still end his career in the Bay Area as a player who spent his playing days on one team, and that’s pretty special.

Draymond Green Returning To Warriors Soon, Suspension Nearing End
Draymond Green‘s indefinite leaguee suspension appears to be nearing an end. The veteran power forward is expected to return to the Warriors’ practice facility in the next few days, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Green will need to ramp up his physical activity and get in some practice time before he suits up again. He will miss his 11th consecutive game on Thursday night, when Golden State faces Denver.
Rejoining the team and working himself back into playing shape is the final step to getting back in action. NBA commissioner Adam Silver will determine when Green will be reinstated but sources told Wojnarowski that Green will have satisfied the league’s requirements to return once he’s ready to play again.
Green was suspended on Dec. 13 for repeated violent acts, most recently when he struck Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the head last month.
He has been participating in individual counseling sessions and virtual meetings that include team, league and union officials designed to chart his progress toward reinstatement, according to Wojnarowski. Green’s agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. and team trainer Rick Celebrini, along with NBPA and NBA officials, are part of these ongoing sessions.
Green is in the first season of a four-year, $100MM contract and is losing $153,941 for every game he misses during the suspension.
The Warriors are 6-4 during Green’s absence but are still one game under .500.
