Warriors' Draymond Green Shut Down Trade Talks
The Golden State Warriors champion, Draymond Green, had his reasons for not wanting the team to make the trade for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, reportedly valued at $195 million.
Despite Markkanen being an ideal player, given his 7-feet tall stature and ability to stretch the floor, Green advised against the trade due to the potential cost to the Warriors.
According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Green told Mike Dunleavy and Joe Lacob not to trade for Markkanen, thus playing a significant role in the decision.
Green's concerns were reportedly centered around what the Warriors would have had to give up in the trade.
The Warriors' inability to have a stretch big has been an issue over the past few seasons, but Green's intervention prevented a potential solution.
Author's summary: Draymond Green advised against trading for Lauri Markkanen.
