Joe Tsai made sure the Lakers-Nets trade did not happen. Many analysts believe, if Irving was sent to the Lakers, the team could have turned the season around. Although Tsai did not let any of that happen. Green in his show, while sharing his view on the trade, mentioned, “I am told they would not trade him [Irving] to the Lakers and that is what I call billionaire ‘petty’ “.?
Green continues to mention the Nets owner, “That is Joe Tsai saying, ‘Listen, man, that’s where he wanna go, I don’t care if they offer the best deal or not. I can be petty too’. And billionaire ‘petty’ is a different level of petty and not many people can compete with billionaire ‘petty’.”
