Draymond Green responds to LeBron James' decision to join 76ers
Summary

On national television, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was addressed about LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers instead of the Warriors. Green, who recently attempted to recruit James, was humorously told 'sorry for your loss' during a TNT Sports broadcast. He clarified that while it would have been beneficial for the Warriors, it didn't matter significantly. Following the failed recruitment, the Warriors re-signed Green on a one-year deal for nearly $28 million, the same amount he declined to help the team financially. With both Green and Jimmy Butler on expiring contracts, the Warriors appear to be planning a gap year before making significant moves for the 2027 season.
