Hypothesizing about the NBA’s seemingly never-ending cycle of player movement is one of the most thrilling aspects about the league. However, the latest hypothetical floated by longtime basketball writer Bill Simmons about Draymond Green, LeBron James and the Mavericks may just prove to be wildest theory in recent memory.
Speaking on the latest edition of The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons offered up what he called a “half-baked” prediction for Green’s playing future, suggesting that the Warriors forward may turn down his player option with Golden State for the 2023–24 season and make way for Dallas to play alongside Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončíć.
But Simmons didn’t stop there. He continued and said he could see James pursuing an opportunity with the Mavericks in the twilight of his playing career.
