The longtime Warriors forward has drawn a lot of noise recently out of the team's continued pursuit of superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. As reports indicate that Jimmy Butler won't get traded despite his season-ending status due to a torn ACL, Green has been identified as the Dubs' main salary-matching piece for the Greek sensation in a potential deal with the Bucks.
Appearing on Willard & Dibs, head coach Steve Kerr finally broke his silence and went on to reveal that he and Green had a conversation amid the recent trade chatter.
"[Draymond and I] have talked [about the trade rumors]. I think what's really tricky for Draymond is this is the only place he's ever known. He's going to have a statue outside the building someday," Kerr confessed.
"Really weird position for him to be in for sure because there's never really been a time in his entire career where he's had to think about putting on another jersey. ... He's never been through this, and it's definitely been on his mind."
