Most important targets for the Warriors: 1. Draymond Green

If the team wants to win next season, they have to re-sign Draymond Green this offseason. Green is a player who is declining in play but he is still a very key piece for the team. His stats might not show it but he is able to produce things on the court that are not seen on the box score.

His antics have gotten a lot worse in the last couple of years but he is still a key part of this locker room. If the Warriors do not keep Draymond Green this offseason, the team might lose Stephen Curry in a couple of years. The Warriors’ two timelines are finally starting to collide and they may end up losing one of the best warriors of all time if they are unable to meet his requirements.

The buzz is that the Warriors will end up re-signing Draymond Green to a three-year max going forward. But there are plenty of other suitors and they can’t take their eye off the ball until the deal is done with Draymond.
