Kerr touts 5-0 homestand: Dubs ‘turned a corner’

Josh Green’s current focus is on suiting up for Australia at the 2023 FIBA World Cup later this month. But the Dallas Mavericks wing admitted that he’s hopeful for a contract extension in the NBA, as well.

“I’ve really just focused on this. Whatever happens kind of happens. Obviously, it’s a cool feeling to be in that situation but, at the same time, I put so much work to be able to be in this position now, that you wanna continue to work,” Green said. “I hope it happens. I want to be in Dallas. I love Dallas. I love the fanbase, love the guys. To think I could be in Dallas long-term would be amazing.”

Green is eligible for a rookie scale extension until the end of the NBA offseason in late-October. If no extension is reached, Dallas can make Green a restricted free agent in the summer of 2024.

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have not yet presented any official offers or counteroffers on a contract extension, sources tell Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Thompson is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2024 if he doesn’t agree to an extension.

There isn’t a rush from either side on agreeing to an extension and there isn’t a deadline.

Thompson is owed $43.1 million this season.

The Warriors recently signed Andrew Wiggins to a contract extension and Draymond Green to a new contract that was considered a slight discount on what they could have possibly received elsewhere.
