The Warriors will also have to make a decision regarding Draymond Green. He is ready for a supermax contract extension this summer. The Warriors are often mentioned in rumors, and this free agency will be of great importance for the team. will they lose their star players? Is Kevin Durant ready to play with a different team? He may join the Los Angeles Lakers, too. LeBron James is all-in when it comes to recruiting players.

“So I checked with owner Joe Lacob via text on Tuesday afternoon, pointing out that he’s been quite clear about paying what it takes to keep this team together and asking if anything has changed or if his stance is even stronger after the Warriors’ Western Conference triumph.

“’The season is still ongoing,’ Lacob responded. ‘We are not finished. I have no new ideas or data for you. We love Klay and KD and intend to attempt to re-sign them. Period. I am confident about BOTH of them.'”
