Draymond Green discussed which team he would like to play for if he was ever moved from the Warriors. Speaking on Jeff Teague’s Club 520 Podcast, he stated that if the Warriors ever decide to end his contract, he would like to play for the Pistons because he wants to be close to home and enjoys playing there. “I pray to God that if (the Warriors) ever feel the need to get rid of me, they send me somewhere… If they are going to send me to any non-winning club, send me to Detroit (Pistons). It’s a crib. I can make do with it… I would much rather it be Detroit than Charlotte (Hornets). I hope I don’t go anywhere.
Green’s desire to play for the Pistons hasn’t been a secret. He revealed a few years ago that he has always wanted to play for the Pistons. Considering that Green grew up in Michigan, and even played college basketball at Michigan State, his desire to play close to home for the team he grew up watching is understandable.
Green presumably grew up watching the Bad Boy Pistons in the 1980s dominate the NBA with their tough and physical style of play. And if anyone watches Green’s style of play and the overt physicality and aggression he shows, it becomes clear that he took inspiration from the 1980s Pistons.
However, Green reiterated his desire to stay with the Warriors in the long term. Green has played for the Warriors his entire career and was a key part of their franchise’s dynastic years from 2015 to 2022.
Draymond Green Is Still A Big Factor For The Warriors
Despite his age and reduced statistics, Draymond Green is still a big star for the Warriors and is considered one of their most important players behind Stephen Curry. Last season, Green averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, but still played an important part in the Warriors’ season.
