This offseason the Warriors prioritized their younger players – Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins – who were given contract extensions over Draymond Green.
The four-time NBA champion, who has been with Golden State since entering the league in 2012, has a player option next summer for another year.
There were speculations that the Dubs might sign Green to an extension next summer. However, a new report suggests that the team is not going to go all in to keep the 32-year-old forward.
Reportedly, him punching Poole during a team practice made the team open up to the idea of parting ways with the player.

“Yeah, there has never been a sense that they were ready to move on from Draymond, but that has changed in the last couple of months,” the Western Conference executive told Deveney. “They gave out the extensions [to Poole and Wiggins], and that was a pretty clear sign like, OK, we’re not all in on Draymond from here out.”
This season Green is averaging 9 points, 6 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 29 minutes per game for the Warriors.
