Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors have agreed to a four-year, $100 million deal.

The deal contains a player option for Green in Year 4.

There was some speculation that Green could take meetings in free agency, but his deal becomes the first to be reported during the 2023 free agency period.

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors are expected to agree to a four-year contract worth approximately $100 million.

Green is an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. Green signed a deal in 2015 with the Warriors as a restricted free agent.

The Golden State Warriors reached out to the Toronto Raptors on a trade centered on Jordan Poole for OG Anunoby, according to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic. 

The Warriors and Raptors discussed a trade at the deadline centered on Anunoby with Toronto seeking the inclusion of Jonathan Kuminga.

Anunoby has been one of the most widely coveted players on the trade market throughout the past year, while the Warriors ended up attaching a future first round pick to trade Poole to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul.

Donte DiVincenzo is set to decline his $4.7 million player option, sources told Kendra Andrews of ESPN.

DiVincenzo averaged 9.4 points and 4.5 rebounds last season.

DiVincenzo is drawing interest from the New York Knicks, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports and Ian Begley of SNY. 

Begley adds that the Knicks could turn their attention to Bruce Brown should they fail to sign DiVincenzo. 

With the Sacramento Kings opening up cap space on draft night, there was subsequent speculation that they could pursue Draymond Green in free agency. The Kings are in need of an upgrade on defense and have a hole at power forward, but Green would be a potentially awkward fit on offense next to Domantas Sabonis. Green and Sabonis are inconsistent perimeter shooters.

The Golden State Warriors, however, are confident that a multi-year deal is forthcoming.

Sources tell Marc Stein that the "popular current projection" for Green and the Warriors is a three-year deal.

Stein was also informed that "it would remain shocking in the extreme for Green to land elsewhere."

The Golden State Warriors traded Jordan Poole on the afternoon of the draft, which not only saves them money and eliminates an interpersonal distraction with Draymond Green, but it also may benefit their offense.

Poole is a talented shot creator, but his fit within Steve Kerr's offense was sometimes awkward. 

"I had one Warriors' source tell me they don't just play chaos ball, they sort of play cadence ball," said Kirk Goldsberry on the Zach Lowe Podcast. "It looks chaotic, but there's a cadence. There's a heartbeat to that jazzy sort of motion that they have.

"Chris Paul is smart enough to slide in there.

"One of my Warriors' friends told me that at times Jordan Poole was just off-rhythm with what they were trying to do. He was taking one or two too many dribbles. He wasn't in the right place. Players were frustrated. You have to be a high IQ, sort of selfless basketball player to fit in to what Steve Kerr has engineered there."

Before their trade with the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul, the Golden State Warriors held Jordan Poole talks with the San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics.

The Spurs registered interest in Poole, but never made a significant offer.

The Warriors and Celtics discussed a deal before they pivoted to a deal with the Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies in which they sent out Marcus Smart and acquired Kristaps Porzinigs. 

The Warriors signed Poole to a four-year, $128 million contract extension last October in the immediate aftermath of him being punched in the face by Draymond Green. The NBA's new more punitive collective bargaining agreement changed the calculus for whether the Warriors could afford to keep Poole in addition to Stephen Curry, Green, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.

The Golden State Warriors are trading Patrick Baldwin Jr. to the Washington Wizards as part of the Chris Paul trade, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Warriors traded Baldwin Jr., Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, and draft picks for Paul. 

The San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the first overall selection in the 2023 NBA Draft. The Charlotte Hornets selected Brandon Miller with the second pick, while the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 3.

The Golden State Warriors have agreed upon a trade with the Washington Wizards to acquire Chris Paul for Jordan Poole. The Warriors will also second a top-20 protected first round pick in 2030, a second rounder in 2027 and Ryan Rollins.

Poole is entering Year 1 of a deal worth up to $140 million over four seasons.

The Wizards agreed to acquire Paul from the Phoenix Suns as part of their Bradley Beal trade, but had spent the past few days trying to reroute him to a third team.

Paul is on a $30.8 million contract this season and a $30.0 million deal for 24-25 that is fully non-guaranteed. 

According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, the Warriors will not waive Paul.
