Draymond Green sends a warning about the Lakers
While speaking on his podcast, the Draymond Green Show, the Warriors star spoke about the upcoming trade deadline. While he said he is excited to see what deals are made, Green doesn’t see a reason the Lakers should trade Westbrook. He also said the league is yet to see a healthy Lakers team and Russ taking all the blame every time is not fair.
Green said, “The reality is I’m not sure Russell Westbrook is traded. If I’m guessing just as an NBA fan, I don’t really foresee it happening, nor do I think it really should happen. You haven’t really had the opportunity to see that team healthy and how they could grow together healthy. And I also don’t like how Russell Westbrook gets all of the blame for everything going wrong.”
