Four-time NBA champion Draymond Green offered another interesting hot take this week amid rumors of Kyrie Irving’s possible departure from the Nets.
Speaking with Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw during a recent interview, the Warriors forward theorized what would happen if Brooklyn granted Irving’s reported wish of a sign-and-trade and sent him to the Lakers, one of his alleged dream destinations. When asked if the hypothetical deal would make L.A. contenders, Green chose to focus on Irving’s dynamic with LeBron James, his teammate for three seasons with the Cavaliers.
“With LeBron, if you give him someone like Kyrie … they’ll have a chance because of the way Kyrie can score the basketball,” he said.
