The San Antonio Spurs<\/a> made it all the way to the NBA Finals last season, but they ultimately fell short of the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n

Perhaps adding a player with ample championship experience could help get them over the hump.<\/p>\n

San Antonio Spurs Named Potential Landing Spot for Draymond Green\"Detroit\"Detroit<\/p>\n

The Spurs were recently listed as a top potential landing spot<\/a> for veteran free agent forward Draymond Green in NBA free agency by Bleacher Report\u2019s Dan Favale.<\/p>\n

Green is widely expected to return to the Golden State Warriors on a new deal in free agency. However, if he decides to test the waters elsewhere, the Spurs could make sense as a potential destination, as Green\u2019s defensive versatility could fit in well in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

\u201cDraymond Green is totally going back to the Golden State Warriors. He declined his player option to increase the team\u2019s flexibility as it recruited LeBron James<\/a>, not so that he could leave,\u201d Favale wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut! In the event Green wants a more realistic chance at another ring, the Spurs could certainly use someone who augments an already-terrifying defense. His shooting warts aren\u2019t much of an issue with Victor Wembanyama<\/a> spacing the floor. And unlike San Antonio\u2019s other 4s, Green can slide up to the 5 when Wemby sits if head coach Mitch Johnson wants to break away from Luke Kornet<\/a> arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Warriors fans, seeing Green play in any other uniform would be strange and probably pretty jarring. Luckily, it doesn\u2019t sound like something that they\u2019ll seriously have to worry about.<\/p>\n

Draymond Green Expected to Re-Sign with Golden State Warriors\"San\"San<\/p>\n

According to a recent report<\/a> from Joe Vardon and David Aldridge of The Athletic, the Warriors are expected to re-sign Green to a deal in the $28 million range.<\/p>\n

From The Athletic:<\/p>\n

Green even opted out of his contract at the 11th hour to give the Warriors maximum flexibility to sign James and to perhaps trade Butler for Anthony Davis<\/a>, but \u201cit happened without any indication that it would happen,\u201d a team source said. The Warriors are now expected to re-sign Green to roughly the same dollar amount \u2014 nearly $28 million \u2014 of the player\u2019s option he declined last month.<\/p>\n

Basically the entire NBA<\/a> was on pause until LeBron James made a decision regarding his future. Now that that decision has been made, we\u2019ll likely see the other dominos start to fall, including Green.<\/p>\n

(Editor\u2019s note: Draymond Green re-signed with the Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million contract shortly after this article was published.)<\/p>\n
