Warriors’ Draymond Green gets credit for ‘bad organization’ in team’s trade plans
Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors are in the middle of the NBA standings after a hot start to the 2024-25 season. However, Green is not panicking about the situation.
The Warriors started their campaign strong, winning 12 of their first 15 games as they held first place in the Western Conference at the time. However, since then they have lost 16 of their previous 23 games. They are currently 19-19, which puts them in 11th place in the West standings.
With NBA trade deadline is approaching next month on February 6thGreen didn’t worry about the need for Golden State to make immediate changes. He believes that this would put the organization at risk in the long run.
“The nice thing about being in the space we’re in is, Steve KerrSteph Curry and I all disagree with mortgaging the future of this organization, saying let’s go for it right now. Bad teams do that. Bad organizations do that. We’re neither,” Green told Yahoo Sports on Thursday night The Warriors beat Detroit 107-104.
“So for us, if something is going to happen, it has to be the right thing,” Green said. “We will not jump and make the wrong decision because we panicked.” That’s how you set your organization back five to seven years.”

The fact that Draymond Green is firing at organizations that make rash decisions after the slightest misstep shows how well Golden State has managed his team in the short and long term after winning four championships during his career.
Keeping Steve Kerr, Stephen Curryand Draymond Green on the roster have provided stability within the franchise, even as the aforementioned names continue to rise in age. Moving on because the season wasn’t ideal, especially after the departure of Klay Thompson last offseason, would be a big risk for a franchise that needs a smooth transition into a new era of Warriors basketball.
If Golden State were to make deals at the deadline, it would involve scenarios where the players they seek would strengthen areas that need improvement. They are 18th in the league in offense with 111.3 points per game and have an offensive rating of 111.4, which ranks them in the bottom 10.
Until the Warriors figure out their approach for the trade deadline, Draymond Green and company will prepare for their three upcoming matchups with Minnesota, Washington and Boston after meeting Toronto on Monday.
