The Golden State Warriors have never had to worry about the quality that Draymond Green provides. Questions have occasionally been raised about how he fits next to specific players, but Steve Kerr elevated him to the starting lineup in 2014-15 and he's been a pillar of the franchise ever since.
Fast forward to 2025-26, however, and the Warriors must answer a question they've never encountered before: Are they a better team without Green?
The timing couldn't be worse for this potential revelation, as Green will be eligible for unrestricted free agency this coming summer. It's certainly possible that he'll accept his $27,678,571 player option, but at 36 years of age, he may be looking for multi-year security in a new deal.
