The Golden State Warriors know that their championship window is starting rapidly close. With the aging of Stephen Curry becoming an inevitable reality, the front office needs to make moves so that they can build a competitive roster around him. This is where fans in the Bay Area should start thanking both Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Draymond Green. It's all because both of them are making the reality of LeBron James and Anthony Davis joining the best shooter of all-time a massive possibility.
Draymond Green has officially declined his $27.7 million player option, per Shams Charania of ESPN. This means that he will now become a free agent and completely sign a new but cheaper deal to stay with Stephen Curry and the Warriors. But, that's not the only good news.
