Draymond Green says declining option, signing extension would be 'best path forward'

But for the key stakeholders, the future seems to be clearing up a bit. And for Draymond, that means he and his agent Rich Paul are picturing a possible new deal — declining Draymond’s player-option for $27.7 million next season and extending for a few more years, presumably at a lower annual salary. To take this longer. To keep going. To never give up or walk out until it might be past time to give up. “Rich and I discussed it a couple months ago briefly,” Draymond said. “We haven’t talked much about it because we don’t deal with those things until the offseason. But I think in an ideal world, and again, this is me talking without me talking to my representation so Rich will probably kill me. But in an ideal world, I think the best path would be to decline and extend. If I had it my way, that would be the best path forward.”
