Warriors ownership is already on record in saying they’ll pay the luxury tax in order to keep this team together. But they may not have to if certain guys have other plans. Draymond Green plays a vital role in Golden State, but he’ll be a free agent and apparently has interest in playing for his hometown Detroit Pistons. He may sign an offer sheet with Detroit and if it’s higher than Golden State planned on spending on him, it will get very interesting.
Draymond Green has a significant interest with pursuing an offer sheet with his hometown Detroit Pistons, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Green has loved playing with the Warriors and winning, and naturally Golden State is determined to find a way to retain him. Still, the Warriors’ salary structure almost dictates that Green has to go onto the market and get an offer sheet for them to match in July.
If the offer is too rich to match, the chance for Green to return to his beloved home state – where he grew up in Saginaw and played at Michigan State in East Lansing – has long intrigued him, sources said.
Green still spends most of his time away from the NBA in Michigan.
