NBA free agency live updates

Draymond Green shared multiple revealing quotes on his podcast Tuesday, saying he nearly signed with the Memphis Grizzlies last year.

“Last year, during free agency, I called Klay (Thompson), and I called Steph (Curry). Separate calls. And Steve (Kerr). And I was just telling them, like, ‘Yo, I’m leaving. I’m going to Memphis,'” Green said on “The Draymond Green Show.”

Green returned to the Golden State Warriors on a four-year, $100 million deal. He said on his show, “Obviously, we got it figured out. Shout to the Lacobs and Mike Dunleavy, his first free agency.”

Green additionally discussed Thompson’s departure and the recent trade talks between the Warriors and Paul George, who is joining the Philadelphia 76ers on a four-year, $212 million max contract, league sources said Monday.

“Paul George was gonna come to the Warriors. … The Clippers didn’t really want to play ball,” Green said. “Didn’t want to help him get to where he wanted to go, so in turn, they get nothing back.”
