How much will you pay Draymond if he opts out?

Since Draymond is with Klutch, and the Lakers have been signing Klutch clients, it appears that Draymond's biggest leverage is the Lakers paying him.
If LeBron re-signs, do you want Draymond and if so, how much will you pay Draymond?

Not interested unless it's like MLE type money. I love Draymond for everything good that he does - but he's older, he's breaking down, and he's an offensive liability. He wouldn't nearly be the player he is/has been playing with LeBron. Steph's gravity to shoot the ball sends opposing teams into fits. As great as LeBron is - that's not his superpower. His superpower is being an all around player, breaking down the D and creating open shots for his teammates and that's not an environment Draymond would thrive in offensively.
So yeah, $10-15M a year for 2-3 years is probably where I land.

15m/year. He could be good for AD’s game/mentality. Could also do something dumb and take AD out for the season.

Zero. Not a fan and I think he's vastly overrated.

He's good in the gsw/curry system.

If 33 year old Draymond opts out and somehow leaves the Warriors, I honestly wouldn't pay him more than the full MLE
(2/22 I believe).
The Warriors will probably pay him way more than that, out of loyalty, and they'll end up regretting it.

AD LBJ and Draymond is not a good fit. So I'll just pass.

I dont think Draymond to LA is realistic. At all.
Lebron is probably going to sign an extension that’ll allow him to possibly team up with Bronny somewhere in 2024-25. So the Lebron-window with the Lakers is 22-23 and 23-24. The only way the Lakers would have money to spend on Draymond in 2023 is if they punt on making moves for this upcoming season. And in that case Jeanie Buss would have truly lost her mind. Given recent moves i wouldn’t rule that out at all, but i dont think it happens.
