Warriors' Draymond Green Rejects Trade Talks
The Golden State Warriors champion, Draymond Green, reportedly shut down trade talks for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, valued at $195 million.
Green had his reasons for not wanting the team to make the trade, considering what the Warriors would have had to give up in return.
According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Green told Mike Dunleavy and Joe Lacob not to trade for Markkanen.
Markkanen, a 7-foot tall forward, would have been an ideal player for the Warriors, given his ability to stretch the floor.
However, Green's decision ultimately led to no trade being made, addressing the team's long-standing issue of lacking a stretch big.
