Green praised the growth of the Warriors’ younger core but acknowledged that roster turnover is inevitable.
“When I look at our young guys, they all show promise… but just off sheer numbers and the way this business works, probably not all will be back,” he admitted.
Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Gui Santos, and Quinten Post were all named as players who made visible progress through their work ethic and consistency.
One of the key talking points was Kuminga’s development and looming contract extension. Green emphasized the importance of properly evaluating the 21-year-old forward.
“You’re going to have to evaluate Jonathan Kuminga… it’s a huge financial commitment,” Green said. “That has to look different for him, first and foremost.”
He applauded Kuminga’s maturity during exit interviews, where the young forward said he was open to conversations and praised Steve Kerr for helping his growth.
“I love the way he handled it… that was such a responsible, great, well-thought answer,” Green said. “He will get paid here, or he will get paid somewhere else.”
Despite a rollercoaster season, Green remains confident in the Warriors’ ability to contend.
“I personally believe wholeheartedly… we will be right there next year giving ourselves a shot,” he said.
Green, Stephen Curry, and Jimmy Butler are expected to be involved in key offseason discussions to shape the next phase of the Warriors' run.
“You just got to have a conversation… what can be seen from the stands or from some numbers — it ain’t always what it seems,” he said about potential additions.
“We’ll be in the weeds… trying to make it all make sense,” Green concluded. “The goals will be the goals — trying to win a championship. I stand on that 100%.”
