It's official. Draymond Green is opting out of the final year of his contract with the Warriors that would have paid him $27.5 million, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Monday.
Green's decision to decline his player option isn't surprising. Still, the 33-year-old has openly said he wants to return to the only franchise he's ever been a part of and planned to negotiate a multi-year extension this offseason.
Green's agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, released a statement to ESPN confirming the reports that his client was opting out of his contact.
"We will continue to talk to Golden State and explore all options," Paul said. It was expected Green would opt-out and now he can talk with Warriors, explore sign-and-trades and free agency."
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Warriors "have been motivated to sign Green on a new deal."
The Warriors held their introductory press conference for new general manager, Mike Dunleavy Jr. Monday at 11 a.m.
