I don’t envy Dunleavy.   They have massive cap issues. Draymond and Thompson contract issues.  Poole situation.  Kuminga situation.  

Draymond will probably opt out. But I don’t think his market value away from the Warriors is close to his value to the Warriors.  His defense, of course, plays anywhere.  Offensively, his value is heightened by his symbiosis with Curry.  That can’t be matched elsewhere.  So, maybe they can sign him for say three years at a slightly lower yearly hit.  

Everything I've been reading says Draymond opts out. Personally, I don't see him making anywhere near what he could make with the Warriors. The W's have a very finely tuned system and most players understand Draymond as the locus of that system, and Kerr coaches to that system. Wherever else Draymond goes, he wouldn't have those advantages.
