Payton agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Warriors on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Payton lingered on the open market, but he'll ultimately return to Golden State for his 11th NBA season. In 73 regular-season games last season, the 33-year-old averaged 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 15.6 minutes per contest. Payton isn't likely to see significant usage during the 2026-27 campaign but will provide valuable veteran depth in the Warriors' backcourt.
Green agreed to re-sign with the Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million deal Tuesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
After declining the player option on his previous contract earlier this summer, the longtime Warrior is now set for his 15th season with Golden State in 2026-27 following the negotiation of a new pact. Green is entering his age-36 campaign this coming season and appears to be in a state of decline, but he still showed the ability to chip in across the board in 2025-26. He started all 68 of his regular-season appearances, averaging 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.
