The Golden State Warriors’ reported pursuit of LeBron James ranked among the most significant happenings at the NBA trade deadline. And Draymond Green confirmed during truTV’s broadcast of Sunday’s All-Star Game that ”there were talks” with the Los Angeles Lakers about the potential deal.
Green stated that while the conversation did happen, he did not initiate it. He also told commentators Taylor Rooks and Charles Barkley that he spoke with Golden State owner Joe Lacob about the potential trade offer, telling him that if Jonathan Kuminga were involved, he wouldn’t do the deal for James.
“When I talked to Joe on the phone, and we were discussing what we’d have to give up, I said if it’s [Jonathan] Kuminga, the answer is no,” Green said.
