Warriors' Green Dilemma: Better Off Without Him?

About this episode

The Golden State Warriors are grappling with a challenging question this season: are they better off without Draymond Green on the court? Statistically, theyre outscored by 2.6 points per 100 possessions when he plays, but they outscore opponents by 3.7 when hes off the court, a significant difference of 6.3 points. This comes at a critical time, as Green, who turns 36 this year and is a free agent this summer, might seek a longer deal elsewhere. Despite his elite defense and playmaking skills, Greens net rating on the court is the worst among Warriors, except for Buddy Hield, who was traded. The team performs well with Green and Stephen Curry, but struggles without Curry, raising concerns about Greens future fit with the team.

The Golden State Warriors are facing a tough question this 2025-26 season. Are they actually a better team without Dremond? Green on the court? Stats so far show their outscore by 2.6 points per 100 possessions when he's playing, but the outscore opponents by 3.7 points when he's off, a swing of 6.3 points. This comes at the worst time, with Green turning 36 and hitting free agency this summer. He has a player option for $27,678,571, but he might chase a longer deal, elsewhere. Green still brings elite defense. He made all defensive first team last year and top playmaking from the big position with great vision and leadership. To run the offense, the numbers paint a clear picture of the problem. No other warrior has a worse net rating on the court than Green this season except Buddy

Healed, who got traded to Atlanta for Christophe's porzingus. When Green and Steven Curry share the floor, the team shines at plus 5.8 points per 100 possessions. But without Curry, it's a disaster at minus 13.6 over more than 1,000 possessions, raising real doubts about Green's fit moving. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode.
