In a recent appearance on Patrick Beverley’s podcast, Draymond Green, the seasoned Warriors forward, shed light on the process behind his contract extension with the team. Speculations were rife when Green entered the final year of his contract during the 2022-23 season without receiving an extension offer.

However, after the season concluded, the Warriors made their move, offering the four-time NBA champion a lucrative 4-year, $100 million extension, which Green gladly accepted. On The Pat Bev Pod, Green expressed his relief and gratitude for the team’s commitment to keeping him in the Bay Area.

Golden State made it abundantly clear to Green that he was a priority, emphasizing their desire to have him be part of the team’s continued success. According to Green, Warriors owner Joe Lacob assured him that the extension was not just about a contract, but a lifelong partnership, making him a Warrior for life.

With the contract extension in place, Draymond Green’s legacy with the Golden State Warriors is set to continue, solidifying his status as a key pillar of the team’s future endeavors.
