Even after LeBron James' arrival on the West Coast, Draymond Green isn't sweating the potential emergence of the Los Angeles Lakers as a threat to the Golden State Warriors' dynasty.

"Teams worry about us. We don't worry about nobody. We are the champs. Why do we have to worry about anybody? They have to worry about us. They say we are ruining the league. I love it!" Green told ESPN's Marc J. Spears.

Green, of course, has plenty of head-to-head experience against James, having faced off against the King and his former Cleveland Cavaliers in each of the last four NBA Finals.

The Lakers haven't been a threat to anyone of late, let alone the three-time champion Warriors. Los Angeles hasn't won a playoff series since 2012 and has failed to finish above .500 in each of the past five seasons.

On top of winning the LeBron sweepstakes, the Lakers also added Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, and Michael Beasley to strengthen their case to make noise in a stacked Western Conference that also features the 65-win Houston Rockets.
