The Golden State Warriors have waited weeks for LeBron James to decide what he will do in free agency. They got the official news on Friday that James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers. It's a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option for the second season. That means James signed for the veteran-minimum rate. The Warriors have yet to use their mid-level exception, but in waiting this long, there might not be a single player they can realistically get who deserves more than the MLE. The Warriors' Plan B is much worse than the James Plan A, but they do have a few options remaining that can help them this season. Bring Draymond Back on Reduced ContractThe first order of business is to get Draymond Green back under contract. I argued here that the perfect contract would be a three-year, $42 million deal.The pros of that contract is it would keep the Warriors under the first apron going into the season and also give them more cap flexibility for the 2027-28 season. The con of that contract is that Green might decline to the point that he's not worth rostering in 2028-29. The other contract options are below:- A one-year deal worth close to the $27.7 million player option Green declined- A two-year deal worth somewhere between $30 million and $40 millionBoth would put the Warriors above the first apron this season and make Green overpaid. It's not clear what the Dubs will do, but they do need him back. He's the best player available on the free-agent market they can realistically get.
