Green said he used a private hangout to make his case for the Warriors, and believes the pitch could influence James' free-agency choice.
- On his podcast Sunday, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green detailed his recruiting pitch to free agent LeBron James, hoping to lure the NBA all-time scoring leader to the Bay Area next season.
- The two recently spent time together in Puerto Rico, allowing Green to make his case for Golden State while framing the hangout as a personal friendship rather than a strategic recruitment effort.
- Green said he would have been "crazy" not to pitch James if given the chance, telling listeners, "I'd be remiss if I don't take the opportunity to throw my pitch in there."
- Golden State has made no secret of its plan to pair James with Stephen Curry and coach Steve Kerr, building one of the most star-studded rosters in franchise history.
- James remains a free agent with no timeline for a decision, as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia continue competing for his services this offseason.
