Well, he won't be DPOY this year; he's not one of the three finalist. And there's certainly no guarantee he'll be next year, though I imagine he really busts his ass because it's a contract year.
But still, it puts Draymond in the position where he knows that he likely can get his best possible contract the year before he's an unrestricted free agent. Kind of messes with the dynamic a bit where he might put the pressure on the Warriors to sign him now instead of next summer, when he knows for sure he can get a Supermax.
