The Golden State Warriors have undergone significant changes this offseason, with Klay Thompson leaving to join the Dallas Mavericks in free agency. Warriors' owner Joe Lacob revealed that Thompson had decided to leave before free agency, and the team respected his wishes without making a final offer. Draymond Green has expressed contentment with Thompson's departure, acknowledging that Thompson needed a fresh start after a difficult season. Green also discussed hypothetical trades, stating he would prefer to be traded to the Detroit Pistons if sent to a non-competitive team due to his Michigan roots. Additionally, Green disclosed that he had advised against a recent trade involving Lauri Markkanen, believing it would harm the Warriors' long-term prospects. These developments highlight the unpredictable nature of the NBA and the Warriors' efforts to remain competitive in the post-Thompson era.
