Draymond Green is set to hit unrestricted free agency after declining his $27 million player option to remain with the Golden State Warriors.
He’s the latest big name that could be on the move, and DraftKings has wasted no time in revealing his next team odds.
The Warriors are the odds-on favorite to retain the star forward and continue his longtime connection with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
However, there are several other possibilities that don’t seem like complete longshots, highlighted by a move to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Dallas Mavericks could also be in play, while the wheeling and dealing Phoenix Suns are on the short-list even after adding Bradley Beal via trade. Green has been part of a superteam with Kevin Durant once before and going to Phoenix would replicate it.
Here are the teams with the top-5 next team odds for Draymond Green, per DraftKings on June 19:
- Warriors -120
- Lakers +550
- Mavericks +800
- Suns +1100
- Rockets +1500
Those seem to be the clear contenders for Green’s services, though it’s worth pointing out that Beal was a big underdog to land with the Suns, and that’s where he will be playing basketball next season.
There are five different teams with +2500 odds to add Green, followed by four more with +3000 odds. Green would likely want to play for a contender at this point in his career, and there could be multiple options depending on his salary requirements.
The Warriors have been one of the NBA’s great dynasties over the past several seasons, but GM Bob Myers left recently and now Green is seen as close to a 50-50 shot to follow him out the door.
If it happens, it will be a monumental shift for an NBA team in Golden State that has relied on him heavily over the years.
