OKC Thunder

The Golden State Warriors aren’t going to trade Draymond Green to a fellow Western Conference contender, but if they were going to, this would be an ideal trade for both sides.

A deal like this would bring Golden State a reliable three-point threat off the bench and a player much like Green that can guard all positions on the court. Grant has taken a huge step forward this season, and Abrines continues to develop as a solid two-guard.

For OKC, they’d snag another top-tier defender. Green, along with Roberson, Westbrook, George and Adams, could help create the league’s best defensive lineup. Offensively, they may struggle, but they’d likely hold almost all their opponents under 100 points.

The Thunder and Nuggets are two teams the Warriors would not trade Green to, but that doesn’t mean that the trades aren’t at least intriguing to consider.
