Warriors' Draymond Green Reportedly 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.
Markkanen, at 7-feet tall, can stretch the floor, making him an ideal player to pursue. However, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Green advised Mike Dunleavy and Joe Lacob against the trade due to the potential cost.
Green told Mike Dunleavy and Joe Lacob not to trade for Markkanen because of what Golden State would have had to give up.
The Warriors' inability to have a stretch big has been an issue over the past few seasons, but Green's intervention reportedly halted the trade discussions.
