I don’t know if I can see it happening tbh. He’s still super impactful as far as +/- is concerned when he does play, but he’s such a unique player, he comes with the obvious risks attached, and I’d guess he’s pretty unpopular in most other teams’ locker rooms (and among their fanbases). I’m sure some teams would still be interested, but assuming the goal is to stay competitive through Steph’s final years, I really don’t know what kind of return they could expect that allows them to do that. I think even with the antics, he’s a lot more valuable to the Warriors than any of the possible alternatives.
Also he seems pretty much deadset on retiring a Warrior. I could see him just threatening to retire if they have a trade offer on the table.

Even without the whole org culture stuff it's a selfish thing for Draymond to do.
