Golden State Warriors: 10 league-altering trades for Draymond Green

The Golden State Warriors have struggled this season, and it’s partially due to Draymond Green’s poor play. Should they trade the four-time All-Star?

After the Kevin Durant-Draymond Green altercation, it was obvious that eventually, the two might not be able to co-exist. It’s more about Green’s inability to help space the offense for the Golden State Warriors than him wearing his emotions on his sleeve.

Green’s hurt the Warriors offense this season because of how poor he has been from deep, shooting under 25% from downtown. This doesn’t have a quick fix either. Green must start being better from deep or he’ll become much easier to deal for Golden State.

While it’s unlikely the Warriors part ways with Green, he does have a bit more value than Klay Thompson given his contract structure. Thompson and Kevin Durant are both on expiring contracts while Draymond Green still has a year remaining.

On top of that, Green may eventually be the odd man out, so Golden State might as well get some value for the forward. By that, I mean if the Warriors opt to max Thompson and give Durant a high salary as well, they won’t have the funds to offer Green a max as well.

So far, it’s been Durant to take the cut. Will Green? If he doesn’t and the team knows that now, they might as well find some return for his services. The options will be there if they want to take them.

That said, let’s look into ten possible trades for Draymond Green.
