The Warriors barely eliminated, the “insiders” are already looking at their offseason, and it will be very lively. First, because GM Bob Myers, the architect of this dynasty, is at the end of his contract and has still not extended. Then because Draymond Green has the opportunity to test the market, and Klay Thompson is eligible for a contract extension. The concern, compared to previous years, is that the new collective agreement will force management to make choices. No more crazy spending and tens of millions of dollars dropped in “luxury tax”, the NBA no longer wants the richest to allow themselves to spend lavishly. And in Golden State, it can upset the workforce.
One thing is certain, Green does not want to look elsewhere, and according to The Athletic, the direction is on the same wavelength. The objective is to find a new agreement over several seasons. “We will see what happens with my contract. Everyone knows I have an exit clause. I want to be a Warrior for the rest of my life. I want to continue with the same guys, and we’re going to make it work.”
Steve Kerr still believes in his “Big Three”
At Andscape, Green specifies that he will take a step back. He has six weeks left to decide whether or not to use this clause, and he will discuss it with his agent Rich Paul. There is no hurry, and the most important file in Golden State is the future of Bob Myers. If he decided not to re-enlist, Mike Dunleavy Jr. would be in the best position to replace him. As always, at the Warriors, we opt for an internal solution.
As for Steve Kerr, he doesn’t think this loss is the end of anything. He too wants to continue with the same ones. “Draymond, Klay, Steph, our core, still have a lot to give. These three are still top players, and I continue to believe this team has the potential to be NBA champions. We didn’t get there this year, but it’s not the end of the road. »
