Draymond Green does not hide that he tried to hire LeBron James from the Golden State Warriors.
After spending a few days together in Puerto Rico while James continued to weigh his free agency options, Green admitted he made his pitch and believes it was strong enough to make the four-time MVP think twice.
“I’d be happy if I didn’t take the opportunity to throw my spot there,” Green said on the Draymond Green Show, according to Ali Thanawalla of NBC Sports Bay Area. “I would go crazy if we were on X number of days and I never said, ‘Yo, we need to cut it.’ Like, ‘What’s going on? What are we doing?’ So there’s that.
“Of course, I did that. And of course, the pitch was crazy. I think I’m decent at it. Does it change anything? Does it make anything happen? I don’t know. I hope so. With the things I shared in it, I believe it will definitely make the brain work a little bit. I don’t think there’s a decision made, but say about ‘thinking about it’ twice.
James has now spent nearly two weeks considering his next destination, with the Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers among the reported options.
Green also talked about paying attention to his trip with James after ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the couple will spend time together before being spotted golfing in Puerto Rico.
“Shams reported that Bron and I were hanging out last week,” Green said. “Listen, I don’t have a problem with Shams. I think he’s good at what he does. I think sometimes things get a little out of the scope of work. And what’s reported about where he is, I think, is a little bit outside of work. I also think it’s not important because the reason is obviously Bron, that’s my brother. We’ve really built a relationship.”
