Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said he wants to retire with the franchise but plans to keep playing next season even if that means joining another team. Green signed a one-year, $27.7 million deal with Golden State in July. If the Warriors had successfully signed LeBron James, Green was expected to sign a multi-year deal with the franchise at a lower annual average.

It’s been four long seasons. 1,511 days of Groundhog Day since the Donovan Mitchell trade. Why did we do that? Should the Jazz try to win? Should they tank? Is tanking a violation of the Jazz Way? Are we tanking hard enough? Oh no, why did we start 11-3? This is terrible for our future! All irrelevant now. While the tank wasn’t perfect, it’s over.
