Five times Draymond Green roasted the Clippers

5. Texting the Clippers about DeAndre Jordan

Draymond Green will talk trash to anyone. If you give him a window to do so, he’ll absolutely run with it. One of those opportunities arrived.

DeAndre Jordan, the Clippers’ starting center, had pretty much decided to leave Los Angeles and join the Dallas Mavericks. The two sides had agreed in principle as they couldn’t sign yet. It was just a matter of time. He was gone.

Jordan is an important piece for the Clippers. Their defense falls apart without their vocal shot blocker. He forms a deadly duo with Blake Griffin in the frontcourt. The Clippers would have suffered without him.

Draymond Green knew this. So he got on his phone and texted Branden Dawson, a former teammate of his at Michigan State and a second-round pick for the Clippers. Of the Clippers, he wrote “they’re done.” Here’s what Dawson had to say to the Beast 980 (via Fox Sports):

"“When they found out that DeAndre was supposedly leaving, Draymond texts us, he texts in a group message, he said, we’re done. Draymond Green, he’s a trash talker. He’s always going to talk trash, no matter what. I just put, “LOL. We’ll see.”"

Of course, Jordan ended up changing his mind after the Clippers practically kidnapped him. But Green trash-talking a former teammate and a member of a rival contender on free agency is great stuff. It’s straight to the point.
