Further details have emerged about Draymond Green's new four-year, $100-million extension with the Golden State Warriors, with league sources telling Nick Friedell of ESPN that the forward's deal includes a 15-percent trade kicker.

If Green is traded next summer, the trade kicker would equate to an extra $11 million. The veteran is just the 22nd player in the league to receive that kind of kicker.

Green also gets some flexibility in his contract through a fourth-year player option. The Michigan State alum could cash in on more guaranteed dollars if he maintains his elite play throughout the first three years of the pact.

The 29-year-old averaged 7.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game last season before ramping up production in the playoffs. Green boosted his averages to 13.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 8.5 assists during the Warriors' run to The Finals before falling to the Toronto Raptors.
