Is Draymond Green planning to team up with LeBron James?
Draymond Green and LeBron James have a well-documented friendship, as seen by recent photos of them socializing together in France.
While James enjoys time off before returning to the Lakers for the new season, Green has opted-out of his contract with the Golden State Warriors to explore free agency. He now has the freedom to join any team, including the Lakers, who could benefit greatly from his excellent rebounding skills.
However, there are more indications that Green may be interested in playing alongside James than just their friendship. Draymond Green has frequently defended James as the best basketball player of all time and has expressed admiration for him.
This suggests that the chance to play with his hero may be a significant factor in Green’s decision to leave the Warriors. Instagram photos showing Green and James enjoying cigars together also confirm the strength of their bond.

As the Lakers aim to improve their team, there is a potential for General Manager Rob Pelinka to sign Green with the cap space made available through the Russell Westbrook trade.
Many commentators, including Stephen A. Smith, are speculating that Green will join the Lakers, thereby increasing the likelihood of it happening before the new season commences.
