Draymond makes physical prediction for the first game against Klay originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Warriors star Draymond Green and former teammate Klay Thompson will be friends for life, even after the sniper left Golden State for the Dallas Mavericks.
But things may not be so friendly on the court during the 2024-25 NBA season.
“I’m running down his chest,” Green told the “Sloane Knows Podcast” at Warriors Media Day on Monday, before saying “of course” he would send some trash talk to Thompson.
“He is my brother, but he is not with us. He is not with us, he is with the opps.”
Green has never been one to hold anything back on the court, and it will be no different when he faces his former teammate of 12 seasons for the first time on Nov. 12, when The Mavericks visit the Chase Center.
It will be an interesting night for both Thompson and the Warriors after Splash Brother signed a three-year, $50 million deal with the Mavericks in NBA free agency, leaving the only team he’s ever known for a fresh start in Dallas.
But despite their friendship, Thompson can be sure that Green and the rest of Golden State won’t take it easy now that they are Western Conference foes.
