ESPN has added the latest chapter in the history of beef between Warriors forward Draymond Green and the Grizzlies with an article that credited the 35-year-old with foreseeing Memphis' current struggles.
The triple-bylined story published Tuesday was mostly about the events that led to the Grizzlies firing head coach Taylor Jenkins and what the immediate future looks like for the team and star guard Ja Morant. But it begins with Green, who is mentioned in the article before even the Grizzlies.
For those who don’t remember the 2023 offseason, Green nearly joined the Grizzlies on a sign-and-trade that was so close to happening, the 35-year-old felt compelled to alert Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and then-teammate Klay Thompson about his impending departure.
