Draymond Green: Warriors Vet Eyes 4–5 More Years
Draymond Green, 35 and in his 14th NBA season, says he "could play four to five more years" but that it "depends heavily on his mentality." "Mentally going into this year, I feel incredible," he said. That matters because Green's mindset and durability will shape Golden State's title window — he is a four-time champion and former Defensive Player of the Year who still changes games with defense and leadership. Merlin sees a battle-tested warrior measuring time in heartbeats, not years. If Green keeps the hunger and stays healthy, he can stretch the Warriors' competitive run; if his mind or body falters, Golden State must retool around its core. His choice will ripple through the roster and the title race.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds Draymond plays four or more NBA seasons: 60%.
