Draymond Green revealed his thoughts on LeBron James choosing to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers instead of the Golden State Warriors. In a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, Green suggested that the historical rivalry between James' Cleveland Cavaliers and the Warriors played a significant role in James' decision. He noted that James likely faced scrutiny if he were to join the Warriors after their intense competition in the NBA Finals. Despite failing to sign James, the Warriors secured Green's future with a one-year, $27.7 million extension. The decision could impact questions surrounding Steph Curry's potential future with the franchise.
