Draymond Green has ended any speculation surrounding his future in free agency by signing a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors. Green’s unwavering desire to remain with the Warriors on a long-term basis has been evident since their chances of winning the title were abruptly dashed in the second round of the playoffs.
Green, a crucial piece of the Warriors’ dynasty, expressed his intention to finish his career where it all started, alongside fellow franchise icons Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Together, this formidable trio has won four championships and reached the NBA Finals on five occasions in their remarkable 11-season partnership.
Despite falling short of their usual playoff dominance in the 2022-23 season, Green, Curry, and Thompson are still regarded as the foundation of the team for the upcoming season and beyond.

Green recently highlighted their special connection on Podcast P with Paul George. Their chemistry, talent, and friendship have solidified their place in NBA history, and their ability to remain title contenders, even as they approach the latter stages of their careers, is proof of their unwavering commitment.
The future of the Warriors’ dynasty
With Draymond Green’s new contract extension aligning with Curry’s existing deal through 2025-26 and Thompson eligible for a contract extension before hitting free agency next year, the future of the Warriors’ Big Three looks promising. Thompson’s willingness to potentially take a pay cut on his next contract further solidifies the long-term prospects of this formidable trio.
The disappointing end to the 2022-23 season has prompted major changes within the Warriors organization. However, the retention of Green, Curry, and Thompson signals the team’s commitment to maintaining their winning culture and pursuing further success. While changes to the supporting cast may occur, the team’s core remains intact.
As the 2023-24 season approaches, all eyes will be on the Warriors and their Big Three. The Warriors’ dynasty may have encountered obstacles along the way, but their resolve to build upon their past successes is unwavering. The upcoming season promises to be another thrilling chapter in the legacy of these iconic players and the team they have helped shape.
