Draymond Green’s legendary stint with the Golden State Warriors could have ended during the trade season.
With the Warriors being laser-focused on pairing Stephen Curry with Milwaukee Bucks stud Giannis Antetokounmpo before the Feb. 5 deadline, there were rumors that the Dubs would make Green available in trade talks. Ultimately, the Warriors moved away from Antetokounmpo and acquired former New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks star Kristaps Porzingis.
The offseason could be a different story, though, as Blue Man Hoop’s Peter O’Keefe believes the Warriors could swap him for a 30-year-old Denver Nuggets NBA champion forward. “Warriors should look to Draymond Green for Aaron Gordon,” O’Keefe wrote Friday. “Should Green opt into his $27.
7 million player option for next season, there's a strong chance they look to move the former Defensive Player of the Year for a star as they attempted to prior to the mid-season deadline. ” “Yet a more subtle upgrade to Gordon could be just as valuable, and also a little easier, considering the similar salaries. Gordon isn't the same defender that Green is, but he brings bigger size at 6-foot-8, brings far more athleticism, and has grown into a very efficient three-point shooter at 43.
