If Draymond Green ends up back in Golden State next season, he might have some fences to mend with Chris Paul 😬

Updated title odds, where do #sixers stack up
post draft rumor round up on
Brook Lopez to Houston?
Harden looking to stay put?
Could the Kings try to max and lure Draymond Green? How would Sabonis feel?

I think it’s more probably that the Kings sign Kyle Kuzma, but Sacramento making a big money play for Draymond Green is a very real possibility. – 5:46 PM

“The Kings can now go hunting for Draymond Green, if they wish.” – @WindhorstESPN
Windhorst mentioned Mike Brown and Draymond Green are very close. Sacramento could also “blow Golden State out of the water” for a potential Green contract.

It may be setting up for Klay Thompson to have to play out final year of contract while Curry and Draymond Green will be locked in through 2025-26. – 12:36 PM

Last year, there were 210 players who were the closest defender on at least 200 shots in the paint. Only JJJ, AD, Draymond, Claxton, and Royce O’Neale held opponents to a lower FG% than KP’s 42 percent: theringer.com/nba/2023/6/22/… – 11:42 AM

On plays when the screen directly led to a shot or a pass that led to a shot, Porzingis finished second in points per play. Fourth was Draymond Green, fifth was Jokic, and sixth was Joel Embiid: theringer.com/nba/2023/6/22/… – 11:39 AM

Also mentions how Draymond Green and Bam are primary initiators of offense. If it’s a “traditional point guard, so be it…” – 1:33 AM

The biggest question mark with Brandin Podziemski is defense.
Here’s his answer to that: “I get to play against Draymond Green, All-Defensive player, Gary Payton, All-Defensive player. The room for improvement is right there and it’s right in front of me.” – 11:25 PM

Podziemski tells reporters at the NBA Draft that he thinks he can be “a triple-double guy.” Describes himself as a tough competitor.
He knows there’s room to improve on defense but is looking forward to learning from Draymond Green and Gary Payton II. – 11:08 PM

Draymond Green is still an amazing defender and playmaker. He’s a bad fit with Sabonis unless Sabonis starts confidently shooting from distance at volume.
Defense-first combo forward is the best play, but either he needs to be a shooter or Sabonis has to be a shooter. – 10:54 PM

Who are we gonna believe, Mike Dunleavy Jr. or our lyin’ ears? At his first press conference as Warriors GM, did we not hear him glowingly talk about Jordan Poole’s future with the team. Days later, Draymond Green’s punching bag is traded to Wiz for Chris Paul. – 4:23 PM

You also have to wonder: Did Draymond Green deliver an ultimatum regarding Poole, such as “If he’s staying, I’m definitely gone.” – 3:45 PM

More on this storyline
I continue to hear nothing but strong confidence emanating from the Bay Area that an agreement on a multi-year deal for Draymond Green to stay right where he’s always been is forthcoming. (A three-year deal, league sources say, is a popular current projection for the 33-year-old.) -via marcstein.substack.com / June 25, 2023
“We have to maintain that type of variety in our game somehow. We lost some of that this year. So hopefully we can regain some of that next year. … When we had to have a bucket, we’ve leaned on the high pick-and-roll, Steph/Draymond. It’s our best play. That’s our 98-mph fastball. But if you throw that down the middle enough, somebody’s hitting it into McCovey Cove. And that’s what happened against the Lakers, we just didn’t have the variety. We didn’t have the changeup, as Steph said.” -via The Athletic / June 24, 2023
The veteran forward took to Instagram on Friday to boost comments made by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith regarding Green’s value. Smith argued that Green was “easily worth another $100 million,” a sentiment that Green shared on his social media. -via Larry Brown Sports / June 23, 2023
