March 2014 Golden State Warriors Wiretap

Draymond Green Expected To Get At Least $8M Per Season

Nov 18, 2014 1:37 PM

Draymond Green is making just $915,000 this season as a former second round pick for the Golden State Warriors.

Green will become a restricted free agent this summer and figures to receive a substantial raise.

"You could make the argument that his value is somewhat like Taj Gibson's is to the Bulls right now," one NBA talent scout said. "He is seen as a part of the Warriors' main core. His value is very similar to that of Tayshaun Prince on Detroit's championship team. He will end up getting approximately $8 million per year in free agency based on similar comparables."

Green is looking forward to free agency.

"It'd be a lie to say I don't think about it," he said. "But I don't try to do anything different. If I did, everything is going to go wrong because I would be focusing on the wrong thing. I'd be stressed all year. Stress equals bad performances, which then would equal no contract. I really love it here. It's all I know about this league. As far as the money working out, if they want me to stay here, I know there's a way to keep me here."

Klay Thompson would have entered the 2010 NBA Draft out of Washington State had the Los Angeles Lakers guaranteed they would take him in the first round.

The Lakers had already traded their first round pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, though they did own the 38th pick from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Jackson: Warriors' Turnover Issues Not Going To Change Overnight

Nov 14, 2014 2:09 PM

Mark Jackson discussed the Golden State Warriors and admitted he has not watched much of his former team, but the ex-head coach believes their turnover issues will not change quickly.

"They will be a team that’s going to have their share of turnovers because of that’s just the makeup,” Jackson said Friday on Bleacher Report Radio. “You’re not going to change that overnight."

Steve Kerr has been adamant this season that the Warriors must take care of the ball more consistently.

Stephen Curry has averaged the second-most turnovers in the NBA at 4.4 per game.

“Steph Curry is a great basketball player, but he’s not Magic Johnson," Jackson said. "And it’d be unfair to ask Steph Curry to be Magic Johnson the same way it’d be unfair to ask Magic Johnson to be Steph Curry. He has a gift, an ability to shoot the basketball, an ability to score the basketball, and he can play the point guard position, but it’s a different point guard position than Magic played. And he’s a guy that’s going to have some turnovers.

"Now he knows that can’t be 10 turnovers. That can’t be five turnovers. And he’s on a constant quest to continue to get better.”
