Draymond Green took the opportunity while on a recent golf trip in Puerto Rico with LeBron James to pitch the NBA's all-time leading scorer on the idea of teaming up in free agency.
"I'd be crazy if we're together for x amount of days and at no point am I like, 'Yo, we need to chop it up. What the hell going on? What we doing?'" Green said on "The Draymond Green Show."
Green, 36, is reportedly expected to sign a multi-year deal to remain with the Golden State Warriors after declining a $27.7-million player option for 2026-27. That move could create the financial flexibility required to sign James.
"Of course the pitch was crazy," Green added. " ... With the things I shared in it, it definitely is gonna make the brain work a little bit ... but we weren't going to hang out for a recruitment pitch."
The Warriors have been linked with a double swoop for James and his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Anthony Davis, who plays for the Washington Wizards. The Wizards have reportedly dispelled the notion that Davis, who has one year left on his current terms and a player option for 2027-28, is on the trading block.
Warriors guard Steph Curry recently said that playing alongside James "would be such a unique story in NBA history." The four-time NBA champ attempted to quell speculation about James joining the Warriors, saying it's "a little premature right now to talk about it."
James' agent, Rich Paul, insisted last week that a decision wasn't imminent.
The Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Denver Nuggets are among the teams under consideration, per a white board image shared by Paul.
