Draymond Green Could Be Traded By Golden State Warriors At Deadline
Draymond Green could be traded by the Golden State Warriors at the 2026 NBA trade deadline, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.
The Warriors are aggressively trying to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks.
“The Golden State Warriors have involved Draymond Green in active trade conversation in advance of Thursday’s deadline, league sources told ESPN, putting his 14-season run with the franchise in jeopardy. General manager Mike Dunleavy and controlling owner Joe Lacob have maintained a motivation to get a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo across the finish line and, as part of that, Green’s name has been involved in the framework of available offers to the Milwaukee Bucks, league sources said.”
Green has spent his entire NBA career with the Warriors. He’s a four-time champion and four-time All-Star. The future Hall of Famer won the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year Award.
“I’ve been here for 14 years,” Green said when asked Friday night about his future. “I have no reason to sit and worry about leaving. But if I’m traded, that’s part of the business. I ain’t losing no sleep, though. I slept great last night.”
The Warriors don’t want to trade Jimmy Butler, who will miss the rest of this season and most of next season recovering from a torn ACL.
Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry are with the same agency: Octagon. Antetokounmpo is ready to play for a new team and the Bucks are listening to trade offers for the future Hall of Famer.
The Warriors won the 2022 championship against the Boston Celtics. They haven’t advanced past the second round of the playoffs since Curry’s fourth NBA championship.
Antetokounmpo is making $54.1 million this season. He has a player option worth $62.8 million for the 2027-28 season.
Meanwhile, Green is making $25.9 million this season. He has a player option worth $27.7 million for next season.
