As chatter and rumors ramp up with the NBA trade deadline<\/a> approaching, the Golden State Warriors<\/a> have reportedly made Draymond Green<\/a> available as they ramp up their pursuit of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As first reported by ClutchPoints\u2019 NBA insider Brett Siegel, the Warriors have floated the idea around of trading Green<\/a> for additional assets that they could turn around and use in a trade with the Bucks for Giannis. The Warriors were mentioned as a team potentially interested in Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis, but Green was not on the table in those talks. That doesn\u2019t appear to be the case regarding Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

Siegel also reported that several contending teams would be interested in acquiring Green as a potential rental for the next couple of months in pursuit of a championship. Green could then decline his player option in the offseason and return to the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Those talks were eventually confirmed as ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater reported that Green is very much on the table<\/a> as the Warriors attempt to ramp up trade talks with the Bucks. Either Green or Jimmy Butler\u2019s salary would have to be included in a straight up deal for Antetokounmpo without involving any other teams. The Bucks could then presumably reroute Green to a contender for additional assets.<\/p>\n

Despite being later into his career, Green is still a strong rotation player. He\u2019s appeared in 41 games this season at a little over 26 minutes per game. He\u2019s been averaging 8.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists with splits of 41.6 percent shooting from the field, 32.1 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 70 percent shooting from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n

The Warriors are currently 27-23 and trying to keep pace in the Western Conference standings. They presently hold the No. 8 seed in the West. They are three and a half games up on the No. 9 LA Clippers, and a full three games behind the No. 6 Los Angeles Lakers and being out of the play-in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As chatter and rumors ramp up with the NBA trade deadline approaching, the Golden State Warriors have reportedly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580504,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3786],"tags":[7,200,123,479,164,4025,4024,6,6050,2828,255],"class_list":{"0":"post-580503","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golden-state-warriors","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-draymond-green","10":"tag-giannis-antetokounmpo","11":"tag-golden-state","12":"tag-golden-state-warriors","13":"tag-goldenstate","14":"tag-goldenstatewarriors","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-nba-rumors","17":"tag-nba-trade-deadline","18":"tag-warriors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116009081680352135","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
