Draymond Green expanded on what he sees as his potential role on the Golden State Warriors should his team add LeBron James in a Monday episode of his podcast The Draymond Green Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Green spoke around the 12:00 mark about a Sunday post<\/a> on Threads in which he stated the Warriors would run their offense around James should the NBA’s all-time leading scorer come to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

“I’d become PJ Tucker. Greatest corner 3pt shooter ever,” Green wrote Sunday on Threads.<\/p>\n

Green added on his podcast, “Number one, the people that start coming out of the woodworks like, ‘PJ Tucker, great three-pointer shooter?’ You better go check PJ Tucker’s scoring… won’t be tolerating any PJ Tucker corner three-pointer shooting disrespect here.”<\/p>\n

Green went on to expand on the offensive setup he was envisioning with both him and Stephen Curry on the court with James.<\/p>\n

“I’ll always have the ability to go get in the pick-and-roll and make some plays, but if you’ve got LeBron James and Steph Curry in a pick-and-roll… you’d better go find a role. You’d better go find a spot so you can be valuable,” Green said.<\/p>\n

“If those two guys are in pick-and-roll, for me, the most valuable spot’s going to be, for me, is to be in the corner… I know what spot would be open is the corner. So you go to the corner, and you knock them down.”<\/p>\n

Green’s comments after he attempted a career-high 4.6 three-pointers per game last season while shooting 32.6 percent from deep through 68 games last season.<\/p>\n

Whether James actually ends up joining Green and the Warriors might not be settled anytime soon. <\/p>\n

Green said around the 26:45 mark of his podcast he thought NBA commissioner Adam Silver might have delayed James’ upcoming announcement by stating<\/a> the league was waiting on him to sign another contract to finalize the 2026-27 schedule.<\/p>\n

James responded<\/a> last week by saying he thought Silver’s comments were “crazy.”<\/p>\n

“Adam saying that is not going to speed up LeBron’s decision at all,” Green said. “If I know LeBron well, if anything, it might slow his decision down a little more because that’s just how Bron is.”<\/p>\n

Both Green<\/a> and Curry<\/a> have already made pitches to James, who ESPN’s Shams Charania<\/a> previously reported is expected to choose between the Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Draymond Green expanded on what he sees as his potential role on the Golden State Warriors should his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":815067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-815066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
