SAN FRANCISCO — Just hours before Mike Dunleavy Jr. was set to take center stage for his introductory press conference as the team’s new general manager, news broke that Draymond Green was planning to opt out of his player option, which would make him an unrestricted free agent.
Negotiating with Green, who was set to make $27.6 million next season, is one of several key topics for Dunleavy and the Warriors’ front office in the coming days, along with Thursday’s NBA Draft and free agency opening July 1, as well as a potential extension for Klay Thompson. Green doesn’t have to officially opt out until the June 29 deadline, but his agent Rich Paul told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that they plan to “explore all options,” including remaining with Golden State.
Still, Dunleavy remains optimistic that he can identify players in the draft and free agency to plug holes around the team’s dynastic trio. Dunleavy, whom Bob Myers had been grooming for this moment, said he’s developed good relationships with the organization’s core people and reached out to many of them over the last week after being promoted from vice president of basketball operations.
