The free agency is spicing up the off-season in the NBA, with the Sacramento Kings deciding to lock down their towering 7’1 star. After a breakout season that saw the Kings reach the playoffs for the first time in 17 years, the 3x All-Star has earned the massive extension. Not only that but guess who might be feeling the heat now? The Golden State Warriors veteran, Draymond Green. The 4x champion was involved in constant scuffles with the 27-year-old throughout their 1st round matchup. While Green won on the court, the Kings star has certainly won big off it.

Let’s check out the details of this mammoth deal and the history between these two players.

Kings’ power forward outshines Draymond Green

After the interest and speculations about Draymond Green, Sacramento was determined to retain its power forward. Green was linked with a move to Sac Town but decided to re-sign with the Warriors. Not only that, the deal is so substantial it is quickly becoming the talk of the town.

The Kings have made a clear statement of their commitment to Domantas Sabonis by offering him a five-year contract extension. This massive deal of $217 million includes $195 million in new money. Along with an additional $22 million coming from Sabonis’ original 2023-24 salary.

This extension catapults Sabonis’ earnings to a whole new stratosphere, overshadowing the financial figures of Draymond Green, a veteran and key player for the Golden State Warriors. Green signed a 4 year, $100 million extension with the Warriors. While it is a great deal for the ageing Green, it pales in comparison to Sabonis’ extension.

Taking about Green, there were speculations about Kings striking a deal with him. However, it would have made the dynamics interesting in the Kings’ locker room if that would have happened. Why? Well, there is history between Green and Sabonis.

A saga of suspension

During the playoffs, Green was suspended for his controversial chest-stomp incident involving Sabonis. It led to widespread speculation that the Kings would seek retribution by pursuing Green in free agency. However, the Warriors managed to retain Green, redirecting the Kings’ focus toward prioritizing their own players.
