Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green won't become an unrestricted free agent until the summer of 2020 and the three-time All-Star says he's not concerned about how much money he's going to make once he enters the open market.

Green is making $17.47 million this season and due $18.54 million next season. The 28-year-old Michigan native has never played the game for money and he's not going to start now, via Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports:

“It’s not for a contract situation,” Green told Yahoo Sports. “And I don’t know if there’s anybody in this league who can control the game from the defensive side of the ball [like me]. That pissed me off [finishing sixth in DPOY voting last year]. That’s why I want to win that.

“I’m gonna make a lot of money. I’m not gonna sit here and add stress to myself trying to accomplish something about money. I’ve never played this game for money. I’ve always played this game because I love it. And it’s been so good to me because of my love for this game, so why switch it up now?”
