In The Middle Of The Draymond Green Controversy, The Lakers Emerged As A Real Option

The Los Angeles Lakers could be on the run for the controversial Draymond Green despite the star being currently indefinitely suspended, as one NBA executive believes that the purple and gold are the only team that could handle the Warriors star, according to Heavy Sport's Sean Deveney.

“If you were to get him out of Golden State, there’s really only one team that could possibly trade for him,” the executive said. “That’s the Lakers. No one else could really handle what he’s bringing. LeBron James could. Draymond has been kissing up to LeBron for a couple of years now.

While the executive thinks the Lakers could handle a Green trade, it may not be in the franchise’s best interest. The veteran forward has been extremely volatile so far this season, and he’s had several incidents since punching Jordan Poole in a practice before last season.

Green has been suspended this season for putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock and hitting Nurkic. He also stepped on Domantas Sabonis’ chest during a playoff game against the Sacramento Kings last season.
