San Francisco fans rejoiced as the Golden State Warriors lifted the Larry O’Brien trophy after defeating the Boston Celtics in the 2022 Finals. They entered the 2022-23 season as the reigning champions with a lot to prove. However, their hopes of experiencing the same joy were crushed on Friday night after the Los Angeles Lakers tossed them out of the championship race. Shortly after the disappointing loss, a major update on Warriors’ Draymond Green surfaced online that could very well determine his future in the league.

The Los Angeles Lakers had one of the worst starts this season, but they eventually rose to the occasion when needed to. From being one of the bottom five teams during the first half of the season to securing a spot in the Conference Finals, LeBron James‘ Lakers have indeed come a long way.

Draymond Green to remain a Warriors star?

After Game 6 concluded with LA’s victory, Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic dropped a major bomb concerning Draymond Green. As per reports, the 4x NBA champion will be staying in the Bay Area for not just one but multiple seasons. The Dub Nation is reportedly planning to talk about a possible multiyear contract with Green.

The reason, as stated by Charania and Slater, was that if Green decides to enter the open market then he would be receiving offers from several playoff-contending teams who would be interested in acquiring him. They added, “Both Green and the Warriors appear intent on discussing an extension to their partnership, if the price is right.”
