What Does Draymond Green Hiring Rich Paul Mean For This Offseason?

Draymond Green has recently hired a new agent, Rich Paul. This move is very important because of what it could mean for the Warriors future. This summer the Warriors will pay Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson first before him and he knows that. Green is a very excellent player with him being a former Defensive Player of the Year, 3 time Allstar, and 3 time Nba All-Defense First Team.

Draymond Green is going to be presented with 3 main options this offseason. The obvious one is him going to resign with the Warriors. The Warriors are moving into their new arena in San Francisco, with ticket prices are going up. Stephen A. Smith said that he talked to a season ticket holder and they said that he pays $140,000 a year, next season the price is over $550,000. The Warriors are going to have more than enough money to pay everyone and go into the luxury tax. Draymond Green knows this and will demand his money. The Warriors are going to be swimming in money with all the prices going up and the new arena is being known as a cash cow. Moving into San Francisco the town is more expensive and people have more money in that town. The Warriors will have no option but offer Green exactly what he wants if they want to keep him.

Now signing with Rich Paul means that the Lakers are now in competition to sign Green this offseason. They have 2 max contract spots and Green won't be a max offers so they will have more money to sign another good player. Green is a defensive mastermind who doesn't demand a lot of shots. This is a perfect fit for LeBron. LeBron doesn't play his best defense in the regular season, this is where Green can guard the best player on the other team. Green will have no problem getting into the face of these young players that the Lakers have and demand greatness out of them. This will help LeBron out by there will be another championship voice in the locker room to help him teach the young core.

The last option for Draymond Green would be if one of these teams who have max contract spots gets scared when they see that all the big names are off the board. These teams could get worried that they have nothing to show their fans and in-panic offer Green a max contract. The most likely team to do this would be the Knicks. New York is ready to see someone huge play in the Garden next year with it being Kyrie, Butler, Zion, or Durant they want someone. If the Knicks don't get the #1 overall pick and screw up in free agency they could get panic and offer Green a max contract, they did give Hardaway $70 million.

Rich Paul is one of the best agents in the league today and Green knows this. Draymond Green wants to be paid his due of what he deserves. Rich Paul is the best agent to make sure he gets what he is owed. Whether it be the Warriors, Lakers, or some other team Green will get his money this offseason.
