Draymond Green, on Antetokounmpo and the Bucks: "There is no reason" to worry while talking about Giannis

With the NBA rumors swirling around the Golden State Warriors interest in signing Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks, Draymond Green stated that he is not worried about his future with the team as the trade deadline approaches.

“I've been here for 14 years,” Green said Friday night. “I have no reason to sit around worrying about leaving. But if I get traded, it's part of the business. I'm not losing sleep over it. I slept wonderfully last night.”

According to team sources, there is a feeling that all players on the roster, except star Stephen Curry, are vulnerable as management seeks to restructure the roster in the final stages of Curry's career.

Due to salary cap reasons, Green, earning $25.8 million this season, or the injured power forward Jimmy Butler, making $54.1 million, would be key pieces in a potential trade for Antetokounmpo, who also has a salary of $54.1 million this season.

Green has been a crucial part of the Warriors' four titles in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Although his offensive numbers and shooting percentages have declined over the years, at 35 years old, he continues to be the team's starting power forward and one of the league's top defenders.

On Friday night, Green recorded 15 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds in the Warriors' 131-124 loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Green's Words

After the game, Green was asked how much he would discuss his future with general manager Mike Dunleavy and majority owner Joe Lacob before the deadline. Green has a close relationship with both and is often consulted on important personnel decisions.

“I'm not going to go in there and say, ‘Hey, what are you guys doing?’” Green said. “I'll be the same as always. My phone is always on. I'm always willing to help in any way I can.”
