Warriors' Draymond Green Rejects Trade Talks
The Golden State Warriors champion, Draymond Green, reportedly shut down trade talks for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, a 7-feet tall player who can stretch the floor.
According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Green told Mike Dunleavy and Joe Lacob not to trade for Markkanen due to the potential cost. The Warriors had been interested in Markkanen over the past few years, but no trade was made.
Green's decision was likely influenced by the team's need to conserve assets, as they would have had to give up significant value to acquire Markkanen.
The Warriors' inability to have a stretch big has been an issue over the past few seasons, but Green's veto of the trade talks suggests that the team is prioritizing other needs.
