Draymond Green 'Next Team' Odds

Where Will Green Cash In?

According to multiple insiders, Green's decision to become an UFA isn't surprising. The four-time All-Star will remain in talks with the Warriors, explore sign-and-trade options, and take into account the free agency market as a whole.

Therefore, Golden State (-170) sits atop the DraftKings' odds board for this market. They initially opened at +150.

Green averaged 8.5 points, 7.2 boards, and 6.8 assists in 73 games in 2022-23. At the other end of the court, he ranked in the 98th percentile in regards to individual PPP allowed — good for his top defensive rating in 11 seasons with the team (via Cleaning The Glass). If Green returns, he'd certainly boost the Warriors' chances of winning their fifth title since 2015 ().

The Los Angeles Lakers are presumably the Warriors' biggest competition, showcasing +550 betting odds. They've been a rumored landing spot for Green for quite some time if he decided to cut ties with Steph Curry & Co. It all begins with his friendship with LeBron James.

Moreover, the Lakers are a clear-cut title contender (). James' retirement "threat" has seemingly applied pressure on their front office to make a splash after they were swept by the eventual NBA champion Denver Nuggets in the 2023 Western Conference Finals. Green would immediately fit in alongside Anthony Davis and the Lakers' top-five defense overall.

Offensively, the 33-year-old Green is still an elite facilitator because of his playmaking prowess as a point-forward. He'd install much more movement for an occasionally stagnant Lakers offense.

This news comes less than 24 hours after the Phoenix Suns saw their NBA title odds shift from around +800 after acquiring three-time All-Star Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards. Their best price tag in the market are currently .

As for veteran lead guard Chris Paul, who was apart of the package that was dealt to the nation's capital in exchange for Beal, his future is unknown. The Los Angeles Clippers, which Paul played for from 2011-17, have inquired about entering the Beal trade before the league makes it official.

There's speculation that Paul could return to the City of Angels — even if the Clippers opt to retain fellow UFA Russell Westbrook. In fact, L.A. is the -260 favorite at DraftKings for the 2016-17 NBA MVP.
