As it turns out, Green wants a four-year max extension to stay in San Francisco. However, the Warriors are reluctant to offer him such a deal despite being an integral part of the Dubs dynasty. “All indications, though, are that the Warriors have no plans to offer Green a maximum extension, and there isn’t any current traction on any type of extension,” the Athletic reported.

Green is the backbone of the Warriors’ defense. Moreover, he also plays the role of a veteran leader in the team. But his numbers have seen a steady decline in the past few seasons.
Last year, the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year averaged a meager 7.5 points, 7 assists, and 7.3 rebounds. The Golden State Warriors are not prepared to offer a max deal to a 32-year-old Green based on those numbers.
