Warriors' Draymond Green Shut Down Trade Talks
The Golden State Warriors champion, Draymond Green, reportedly shut down trade talks for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, a 7-feet tall player who can stretch the floor.
The Warriors had been interested in trading for Markkanen over the past few years, but Green had his reasons for not wanting the team to make the trade.
According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, 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 decision may have prevented a trade that would have cost the team significantly, reportedly $195 million.
