Draymond Green may be the center of NBA's next free agent, as the Golden State Warriors veteran is stressing that this is the possibility of leaving Warriors for the first time in his career. The team had to figure out how to expand Jordan Poole , Andrew Wiggins and Draymond to fair contracts, which would be a huge challenge as luxury tax penalty would lead the way for GSW.
There are many speculations about where Draymond might go. While his hometown of Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers are obvious choices, according to Heavy.com's Sean Devini, Luca Doncic and Dallas Mavericks also seem to have a chance to get Green login.
"If he gets a big offer from Detroit , or Dallas or Lakers, does he want to play somewhere? He won't be ashamed to leave. He knows the business.
"He always wants to play for Detroit while helping his hometown Flint ." He also wants to play with superstars like Luca . You know he likes to participate in the barber shop show with LeBron . He wants to have an entertainment career after the performance is over. You don't need to do this in Los Angeles, but it helps.
Will Dallas become Draymond's real landing point?
The Mavericks have not succeeded in adding a second-tier star next to Luka Doncic since Luka Doncic was selected by the team. Cristaps Porzingis failed, and the Mavericks decided to build a team around Luca with complementary players, rather than a big-name second-tier star.
Draymond may be the perfect defensive main force in the Jason Kidd system and can suppress Dallas' bad defensive habits, especially among the big guys. However, due to his lack of scoring, he won't complement each other as many expected. Unlike Stephen Curry , Luca is at its best when playing, so taking the ball away from Luca to let Draymond create a shot may not be what the team wants to do.
The upper limit space of the Mavericks is vague, and they absolutely have no room to get the largest contract in the next offseason. With the recent renewal of Maxi Cleber, and players like Luca, Tim Hardaway Jr., Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith , the Mavericks don't have enough room to provide Draymond with the contract he wants.
