Draymond Green Dismisses Teaming Up With LeBron James On Lakers: “Unless Bron Comes To Golden State”
Draymond Green has made it clear that the prospect of teaming up with LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers is highly unlikely unless LeBron decides to join him at the Golden State Warriors. Green emphasized his commitment to finishing his career where it began, with the Warriors, during a recent appearance on the “Point Game” podcast.
“As I’ve said before, unless Bron coming to Golden State I don’t really see that happening. For me personally, if the Warriors will have me until I’m done and my shoestring is in a knot and toss them things about the telephone wire, that’s where I’ll be.”
“There’s nothing else, looking around the NBA, that excites me than doing all that I can to try and win another championship with the team that I won four championships with, with the guys that I’ve won four championships with Steph and Klay.”
“I never look around the league and be like, ‘Hmm, I think I’ll be great over there.’ Like f**k that, I can be great right here. I can do what I need to do to win another championship and that’s my focus.”
“As much as I would love the opportunity to play with Bron one day, I thought I would have an opportunity this summer with Team USA. That didn’t happen for me, and so I think that probably puts a wrap, a bow on the possibilities of that, because as long as this franchise will have me, it’s where I’ll be.” (58:00)

Green’s loyalty to the Warriors is evident in his desire to win another championship with the team alongside long-time teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. He expressed that nothing excites him more than the prospect of securing a fifth NBA title with the franchise where he has already achieved so much success.
Green’s remarks underscore his unwavering dedication to the Warriors and his belief in their potential to continue competing for championships. While the idea of teaming up with James is appealing, Green’s focus remains on contributing to Golden State’s success and furthering his legacy with the team.
While the idea of Draymond Green and LeBron James playing together is an intriguing one, Green has made it clear that he intends to finish his career with the Warriors. Unless LeBron decides to make a move to Golden State, the two friends are unlikely to become teammates on the court.
