Even Damian Lillard is openly telling on which team he wants to be traded to. Due to this, there is a lot happening even in the off-season of the NBA. Amidst all this, there is a player whose next team will be decided based on the decisions of these players.

This player is 36 years old and knows that he only has a few years left in the NBA. So, this 3x champion is currently looking to make the best out of those years. He has signed a 1-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers which will end next year. But who is this player?

A 3x NBA champion talks about his future plans

The player we are talking about has been around in the NBA for 14 years – Danny Green. Green’s NBA experience illustrates perseverance and achievement. Starting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, his early years consisted of brief spells and injuries. However, his tenacity propelled him to stardom with the San Antonio Spurs, where he developed into a good starter, contributing with 3-point shooting and helping the team win an NBA title.

He even became the third player from UNC to win an NCAA championship and an NBA championship. But then he got traded to the Raptors. After joining the Toronto Raptors, he set further records, including 1,000 career three-pointers and a club record for most threes in a quarter. His contribution to the 2019 NBA Finals cemented his worth, and he managed to win another championship.

After that Green signed a two-year $30 million contract with the Lakers, becoming a part of another championship triumph against the difficult backdrop of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Green’s career came full circle when he returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, despite later franchise changes, injuries, and setbacks. He was recently a guest on a podcast where he spoke about his next team venture. He said, “If the trade happened with Dame, I thought Miami was one. I think Philly could use some depth in the wing position, they have a lot of bigs.

Especially the fact that we don’t know what James is going to do. If the trade with James happens, the Clippers might have to give some people, though Clippers could be an option. So,?there are a couple of spots that could make sense.”

?But why do Harden and Lillard want to leave their current team and play for other teams?

Harden & Lillard’s controversies

Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers’ leading scorer, openly announced his desire for a trade to the Miami Heat, igniting debate in the NBA. The NBA sent a harsh warning to all clubs, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. They even established clear rules for dealing with Lillard’s intentions and any following statements. This circumstance emphasized the complexities and dynamics of elite players seeking other opportunities, which influenced the league’s environment. And as for James Harden, he took a very drastic step to speak about his discomforts.

During his trip to China, the All-Star guard publicly attacked Morey, casting doubt on rumors of illegal deals. Harden’s decision to take a pay cut and rejoin the 76ers sparked speculations of a lucrative contract offer from Morey. His statements, however, conflicted with league investigators’ conclusions, sparking trade speculations.
