3. Draymond Green

First on our list is Draymond Green. Fans may not want to hear this, but Green has declined rapidly.

Even last season, surrounded with some of the greatest players of all-time, Green took a noticeable step back in productivity. He averaged just 7.4 points and his sub 30 percent 3-point shooting clip made him a detriment offensively in key moments.

This year, things are no different. Green is still shooting an awful percentage from deep and isn’t as effective without star teammates surrounding him.

This isn’t to say that Green is a bum. He has value to the team and has done his best to lead this group of inexperienced prospects. Even so, Green’s importance to this team is steadily decreasing as the franchise faces the possibility of a rebuilding stage.

It’s safe to assume that Green’s talent is still there but as he approaches age 30 there is reason to be concerned with him moving forward. The Warriors would be smart to part ways with Green before his near $100 million dollar deal takes its toll.

Though Green appears to be the most expendable, yet still valuable, asset the Warriors have, it will be difficult to move him with his hefty contract. That is why Green ranks third on our list.
