Warriors Retain Green
Following LeBron's seismic move to the East, the rest of the league's frozen transaction market has finally broken open.
Draymond Green agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million deal to return to the Golden State Warriors. He originally opted out to give Golden State the room to pursue LeBron.
The Golden State Warriors will run back their older core around Stephen Curry, deliberately leaving Green's contract without a no-trade clause to preserve in-season trade flexibility.
