The former Defensive Player of the Year and four-time All-Star explains how close his team came to acquiring the now-Philadelphia 76ers superstar.
Even before they had officially let former five-time All-Star and four-time champion shooting guard Klay Thompson walk during free agency in a $50 million, three-season sign-and-trade with the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors appeared primed to make their next splashy signing.According to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, the Warriors made a bid to trade for nine-time All-Star forward Paul George, prior to his Saturday deadline for his $48 million player option for 2024-25 with the L.A.
' a little salty about that because, as you all know, Paul George was gonna come to the Warriors. We wanted Paul George to come to the Warriors,' Green explained. 'For us to take Paul George, it would have taken a sign-and-trade, and the Clippers didn't really want to play ball. Didn't really want to help him get to where he wanted to go, and so in turn they get nothing back.'Last year, the Warriors finished as the Western Conference's No. 10 seed with a 46-36 record.
