As the trade deadline ticks closer, Golden State remains among Giannis Antetokounmpo's top suitors. One problem with the Warriors' pick-heavy pitch is a lack of appealing blue-chip talent, but there are other issues as well. Specifically, a declining Draymond Green on a $26 million salary would be among the outgoing pieces.
That's a reality that The Athletic's Sam Amick reported Green is prepared to accept (subscription required). It's also not ideal for the Bucks.
While Green is a key cog in Golden State's system, his value elsewhere, particularly on a rebuilding team, would be limited.
