Draymond Green on LeBron James' future: 'I don't quite see him leaving Los Angeles'
The four-time NBA champion has until June 29 to opt in. Despite the contractual uncertainty, the overall view is that James will opt out and re-sign with the Lakers. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green holds a similar view. While admitting that LeBron’s decision is not known, Green expects him to remain a Laker. “I don’t quite see him leaving L.A. Just don’t really see it. Just my opinion. But we shall see what happens with that,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show.

For LeBron James, playing with his son Bronny is reportedly not the same level of priority it once was

Kyrie Irving passed (checks notes) Draymond Green in playoff scoring yesterday.
He’s No. 82 all-time now. (Also passed Rick Barry, Joe Johnson and a few others). – 9:20 AM

“I think there’s a lot of uncertainty coming out of that organization,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. What’s going to happen with Darvin Ham? Me personally, I think it’ll wrong to fire him for multiple reasons. “However, he’ll catch a lot of flack for the season that they had. But their roster didn’t get better than last year and they were a play-in team. Yeah, they made it to the Conference Finals with LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing the way that they were playing, but they didn’t get better. “They lost Dennis Schroder. I don’t think they replaced him well. Gabe Vincent didn’t bring anything to the season. Obviously he was hurt. But even once he got in, he didn’t shoot the ball well. Schroder was huge for them and they lost him… -via TalkBasket / May 2, 2024

“What Anthony Edwards has taken those guys and done is absolutely amazing,” Green said, via The Draymond Green Show. “Like Rudy’s actually not trash anymore. A lot of people agree, he defends now… But I mean like when you see him on the switches he’s up at the level, he’s not just sitting back at the drop anymore. When he gets switched on to the guy, it’s like his antennas pop on, like oh I got to sit down they’re about to go at me and guard them. “I think it’s been interesting to watch because he is actually impacting winning and he’s actually doing that on the defensive end where as opposed to other series he’s gotten played off the floor.” -via Clutch Points / April 29, 2024
During the same interview, Charles Barkley also gave his two cents on when LeBron James should decide to hang it up and call it a day. “I hope he retires while he can still play,” Barkley said. “I saw Michael Jordan [play] with the [Washington] Wizards and it was not pretty. I saw Patrick Ewing with the Orlando Magic. I would love to see [LeBron James] retire sooner rather than later…because it ends badly when you keep on playing.” -via Clutch Points / May 2, 2024
ClutchPoints: “The big is 5-6 steps behind, & as Steph is coming off the PnR, he has the separation to shoot, but the overreaction from the big, & [he] just drops it in the pocket.” LeBron James on being late on a Steph Curry pick-and-roll 🗣️ (via @mindthegamepod) pic.twitter.com/IV61VG01Kj -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / May 1, 2024
