Draymond Green Shrugs Off Giannis Trade to Warriors

Draymond Green shrugged off swirling trade chatter, telling reporters he "ain't losing no sleep" and that he "slept great last night" after the Warriors’ loss. He said he will not hound the front office but that "My phone is always on," signaling willingness to help while keeping his focus. The larger rumor is that Golden State could assemble a massive package for Giannis Antetokounmpo with Stephen Curry labeled the "only untouchable," but salary and timing make any deal complicated. Merlin sees Green as the steady talisman the Warriors want to keep. Matching Giannis’ contract would likely need expiring salaries and multiple future firsts, and Green’s $27.7 million option could make him a poor fit for Milwaukee. The Bucks seem likely to wait until summer, so drama may only deepen.
