Drastic Draymond Green trade may be best way for Warriors to save themselves

Trading Draymond Green because of a single incident isn’t going to happen. There have been plenty of other issues after which the Golden State Warriors could have traded Green. But the altercation with Steve Kerr, combined with how poorly Golden State has played this season, could call for them to consider a drastic decision: Trading Green for Lauri Markkanen.

Now, it would obviously take more than Green to steal Markkanen away from the Jazz. The Warriors could combine his salary with Jonathan Kuminga and draft picks, and perhaps that would be enough to steal him from Utah. Adding Markkanen’s shot creation next to Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler could be exactly what the Warriors need.
