Iguodala advocated for Green to be paid whatever he wanted, and also shed a little light on what teams take into account while offering a new contract. Green reportedly wants a maximum-contract extension, but the Warriors' financial situation might prevent them from offering the forward a lucrative new deal. On "Point Forward," Iguodala questioned whether teams paid players based on what they had achieved, or on what impact they could have in the future. "Here's the question that keeps getting asked. You know people keep asking me and that's my guy so I'm always gonna say get him everything he wants. What I'm getting is, are you paying somebody for what they've done or what they're going to do.

And then at the other side, 'I can't pay for what he's already done.'" Does Draymond Green deserve a max contract Golden State Warriors Victory Parade & Rally Draymond Green's presence on defense has been invaluable for the Warriors ever since he entered the league. In the last decade, Green has been a top-10 defender in the regular season five times. He has accumulated seven All-Defensive selections.

Without me [the team] ain’t working." -Draymond Green on his current contract situation(via The Draymond Green Podcast)41"I’m definitely a top 10 player at the moment.

In other words, instead of scoring himself, he provides open looks and cutting lanes for other players on the team. Green was in a good position to be named the Defensive Player of the Year last season, before a back injury thwarted his season. The Warriors posted a 19-17 record without him in the lineup, as compared to 34-12 with him. But the question remains, is his skillset worth $164.5 million over five years?
