It seems that Jimmy Butler’s trade in Golden State slowly, but certainly the heart of Drayond Green overcome. When the former Heat Star arrived for the first time, the four-time champion called him a “franchise change party”, and now he seems convinced that the newcomer will bring the NBA title back to the Bay Area.
During the All-Star weekend he made this daring statement about the chances of the Warriors on a title after obtaining the superstar on the NBA Handelsdeadline. “I think we went a bit in the wrong direction, thinking that we’ll sort it out and never figure it out this year,” he said.
Green then added: “During the course this year, and since then [Butler has] Been here, we walked into every game and think we will win that game. And that goes a long way in this competition. “
“We’re going to win the championship.”

Moreover, the 34-year-old believes more in Jimmy every day. “But you walk in the game like:” Ah man, we are probably going to lose this game, “it’s not good. So he brought that faith back and I think we’ll win the championship,” Drayond explained.
During the All-Star Game broadcast on Sunday, the Golden State Forward went even further. “I’m sorry, I said I think we’ll win a championship, but I lied. We are going to win the championship, “he said with confidence. “We’re going to win the championship.”
The Warriors veteran recently revealed that the competition warned him of playing too aggressively
In the last episode of his podcast, Drayond said that he received a warning from the NBA for playing aggressive. The Golden State star then explained how the trade of his team brought him to Jimmy Butler in the “Win-Now” mode, which he sees as the reason behind the last warning of the competition.
“Apparently I received a warning from the competition recently that the last few games I played too aggressively, and that they warn me,” he shared The Drayond Green Show with Baron Davis. “What does that mean? Don’t know. But apparently I am a problem in the ‘Go Win’ mode. “
This campaign of 2024-25 was ejected the four-time champion from a match in November after receiving two technical errors against the Memphis Grizzlies, one for the stumbling of Zach Edey. Earlier this week, Green got a technical error to scream against a game official.
