Golden State Warriors Receive: G/F Malik Beasley, C Mo Bamba, 2029 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F/C Draymond Green
James and Green actually make for an interesting comparison. They’ve taken very different routes to get to relatively similar places.
James was perhaps the most anticipated NBA prospect ever. Some will say that Wembanyama has taken that mantle. They may not be old enough to recall James entering the league.
By contrast, Green was a second-round pick. There was virtually no fanfare for his entrance into the NBA. Yet, he developed into one of the defining players of his generation.
Obviously, he hasn’t been as impactful as James. Elite athleticism separates the two.
