Draymond Green has acknowledged his time with the Golden State Warriors will end at some point, but executives around the NBA think their divorce should happen before the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
Per Sean Deveney of Heavy.com (h/t Jack Simone), one Western Conference executive explained why trading Green would be in Golden State's best interest:
"If they made the decision that they're not giving up any of the young kids, then that's fine, but are you going to just keep chugging forward with what you've got? Obviously, the Draymond punch with [Jordan] Poole was a bigger deal than they let on, it is still dragging down that team.
