Golden State Warriors: 6 trading partners for Draymond Green
By Tony Pesta
Trading away Draymond Green could be a smart move for the Golden State Warriors. Today, we look at five potential teams that might be interested in Green.
Not too long ago, Draymond Green was looked at as one of the most untradeable players in the league. Green was the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors. His energy on the court fueled the entire team.
Sadly, things have taken a drastic turn this season for Green and the Warriors. Draymond has not been playing up to his usual standards. He is averaging the fewest amount of points since the 2013-14 season and has been a detriment on offense. Opposing teams are leaving him wide open as he continues to clank shot after shot off of the rim.
For the season, Dray is shooting just 22.4 percent from the 3-point line. This is the seventh worst percentage in the league of any player attempting at least 2.0 3-pointers game. Green is also averaging 3.1 turnovers a game and has been a shell of his former self on the defensive end.
Throw all of this in with a little bit of locker room drama and the fact that Green is set to make 18 million dollars next season and we have more than enough reasons to look at potential trades. So, let’s examine the six most likely teams to make a push for Draymond Green.
