Draymond Green has been a key player for the Golden State Warriors during their successful era, helping the team secure four championships. Despite rumors of a possible departure last season, Green ultimately decided to stay with the Warriors by signing a new contract. This move has prompted speculation that he may finish his career with the team.
Steph Curry recently expressed his desire for a long NBA career, mirroring Tom Brady’s longevity in the NFL. On the other hand, Klay Thompson seems to have a different perspective and sees the end of his playing days on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Draymond Green seems to be aligned with Curry’s timeline. In a recent episode of the Draymond Green Show, he mentioned, “I’m in year 12 … 2-3 more … The only chance my last year is announced. If that last year happens to coincide with Steph’s last year, Klay’s last year, and if that’s my last year that’s the only chance that it gets announced because then I could ride Steph’s coattail on his farewell tour and act like it’s mine.”
It’s evident that Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have different retirement plans. Curry, inspired by the likes of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, aims to extend his career past the age of 35. In contrast, Thompson, who has faced challenges this season, seems to be coming to terms with the inevitable end of his playing days.
As for the possibility of all three Warriors players retiring simultaneously, only time will tell if their timelines align. Ultimately, the future remains uncertain for Curry, Thompson, and Green as they navigate their basketball careers.
