Question: In a contract year, will we see Harrison Barnes make Draymond Green level strides toward becoming a max level player? If so, will he still be a Warrior?
It’s clear – the Golden State Warriors can’t keep everyone. The NBA is set up so that won’t happen. Nevertheless, while they might have figured out a way to do that on the short term, that won’t likely be the case heading forward.
And that could come in the way of the Warriors losing Barnes, who is slated to hit restricted free agency next summer.
