Warriors have a Draymond Green dilemma if they sign LeBron James

1 day ago 5

On Tuesday afternoon, it was reported that LeBron James won't be returning to the Lakers next season.

He'll look at his options in free agency, which begins this evening, and it's reported that the Warriors are one of the favorites to land the all-time great.

If they do land James, they do have a dilemma on their hands that relates to Draymond Green.

Draymond Green has been vocal when it comes to the greatness of LeBron James.

The two are great friends, and Green even said prior to James breaking the all-time scoring record that he'd miss a game of his own to attend the game when LeBron broke the record.

His allegiance to James will really be tested if the Warriors sign him (assuming Green also returns), because Green wears #23, which is the current number that James wears.

We've seen James wear #6 a couple of times with the Lakers and Heat, so that's not off the table, but I can't imagine Green wouldn't give up #23 to let James wear it.

Would that come with a cost? Who knows, but James, out of all players, could afford it.
