There could be good news for Pistons fans regarding Draymond Green's impending restricted free agency, according to Yahoo! Sports/FOX Sports 1 NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

In a looming restricted free agency this summer, Golden State's Draymond Green has a significant interest with pursuing an offer sheet with his hometown Detroit Pistons, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Green has loved playing with the Warriors and winning, and naturally Golden State is determined to find a way to retain him. Still, the Warriors' salary structure almost dictates that Green has to go onto the market and get an offer sheet for them to match in July.

If the offer is too rich to match, the chance for Green to return to his beloved home state – where he grew up in Saginaw and played at Michigan State in East Lansing – has long intrigued him, sources said. Green still spends most of his time away from the NBA in Michigan.

Green is a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year and a sharp three-point shooter who would fit very well in Stan Van Gundy's offense. The Warriors can match any offer Detroit makes, but if they don't? Things could get really exciting next season.
