he's an RFA no? warriors can still match?
They can but i wonder if they don't wanna pay him max money. I think they want to keep Barnes around as well in the future and he has to get paid soon.
idk, don't you think Green is more valuable especially after the finals...he stepped up big when the warriors needed him the most...that triple dub in game 6...man you know he wants that championship bad...and he proved that he deserved it.
Green did not perform particularly well on offense over the course of the finals. I don't think that it should hurt his negotiations, but mentioning a single game is not a way to gauge someone's performance. GMs need longer memories than that.
I thought his overall Finals performance was pretty bad. His offense was mostly nonexistent, and he committed several dumb fouls.
I guess his near triple doubles for game 5 and 6 didn't mean much
For the series, Draymond Green shot 26.3% from three and just 43% from two. He didn't exactly tear it up. His RB% was just 12.2. He committed 4.7 fouls a game.
He didn't exactly have a good series and he is at best the 3rd most important player on that team (behind Steph and Klay) and it is arguable he is 6th (behind Iggy, Barnes, and Bogut (who I know didn't play much as a result of the match-up)). Heck Green was so ineffective defensively on James that Iggy was forced to start and play huge minutes. Not to mention Tristan Thompson clearly outplayed Green basically the entire series.
Golden State should probably just bite the bullet and pay the man, but I can't say I blame them all that much either.
