Contract Value Index (CVI)
D
Below Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Draymond Green's contract with the Golden State Warriors earns a D Contract Value Index grade, indicating unfavorable value — the team is paying more than the on-court production warrants. Draymond Green's on-court production this season — 8.6 points per game with a C Performance grade — places him as an average contributor at the power forward position. His $26.8M average annual value represents near-max money in the current NBA salary landscape. The value equation works against the Golden State Warriors — the salary commitment outpaces the on-court production, limiting the team's financial flexibility to improve the roster elsewhere. As a veteran deep into his career, the aging curve is a risk factor — the team should expect declining production over the life of any remaining deal. The 2-year, $53.6M commitment is a moderate-length deal that balances commitment with flexibility.

Current Sentiment
B
Positive
NegativeNeutralPositive
The Warriors faithful and NBA media continue to view Draymond Green through a lens of grudging respect, recognizing his elite defensive impact and championship pedigree while acknowledging the growing questions about his $26.8M price tag. Green's reputation as a franchise-caliber defender and vocal leader remains intact, with recent coverage highlighting his mentorship role and basketball IQ rather than the technical fouls and ejections that dominated headlines in previous seasons. The disconnect between his B-grade public perception and A- level production reveals how narratives lag behind reality — Green's defensive versatility and playmaking from the forward spot continue to anchor Golden State's system, even as casual observers fixate on his offensive limitations and occasional sideline theatrics. For the sentiment to shift meaningfully upward, Green would need either a deep playoff run where his intangibles shine on the biggest stage, or a more consistent offensive contribution that justifies his veteran contract. Right now, he occupies that familiar space of being simultaneously undervalued by box score watchers and properly appreciated by those who understand winning basketball, with his championship résumé providing just enough benefit of the doubt to keep the narrative from turning truly sour.
