In what’s been a chaotic NBA offseason filled with blockbuster trades and constant free agency/trade rumors, the report of Draymond Green pitching LeBron James on the Golden State Warriors is far from surprising. However, when ESPN’s Shams Charania revealed on Sirius XM NBA Radio that Green was “doing everything he can” to recruit James to the Warriors, Green responded.
As you can imagine, Green had no issue with the report or confirming that he did pitch LeBron on it, saying that on The Draymond Green Show that he’d be “remissed” if he didn’t take the opportunity to do so. Green also added that the pitch was “crazy” and, at the very least, will make the former Los Angeles Lakers star “think twice.”
“I’d be remissed if I don’t take the opportunity to throw my pitch in there, I’d be crazy if we’re together for X amount of days and at no point am I like ‘yo, we need to chop it up, what the hell going on? What we doing?'” Green said.
“Of course I did that, and of course the pitch was crazy, I think I’m pretty decent at it… with the things I shared in it, it definitely is gonna make the brain work a little bit, I don’t think there’s a decision that’s been made, but say if there was, it’d make you think twice about it. But we wasn’t going to hang out for a recruitment pitch.”
