Draymond Green contract details

According to Charania, Green reached an agreement with Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul on a four-year, $100 million contract that will keep him in the Bay Area for the foreseeable future. 

Despite declining his player option heading into the offseason, there appeared to be mutual interest from both sides in a potential return. 

"I've been here 11 years, you don't just up and change that," Green told ESPN's Andscape after the Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs. "The guys that I started with are still here. Of course, I'd love to be here, but I do understand that this is a business."

Draymond Green career earnings

According to Spotrac, Green has made an estimated $155.6 million so far in his NBA career. That does not include his new contract with the Warriors, which will increase his career earnings to over $250 million.
