Warriors' Draymond Green Shut Down Trade Talks
The Golden State Warriors champion, Draymond Green, reportedly shut down trade talks for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, a $195 million forward.
Green's reasons for not wanting the team to make the trade were due to the cost of what Golden State would have had to give up.
According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Green told Mike Dunleavy and Joe Lacob not to trade for Markkanen.
Lauri Markkanen is a 7-feet tall forward who can stretch the floor, making him an ideal player for the Warriors, who have struggled with having a stretch big in recent seasons.
