Draymond Green expressed his loyalty to the Golden State Warriors, stating he would rather stay with the team and struggle than chase a championship with another team. Green emphasized his preference for continuity, even if it means not making the playoffs for the next five years. This statement was made during a discussion on the 'Big Podcast with Shaq,' where Green also debated with Shaquille O'Neal about a hypothetical matchup between the 2015 Warriors and the 2001 Lakers. Green claimed he would not allow Shaq to get the ball, and suggested Klay Thompson would guard Kobe Bryant, to which Shaq responded skeptically, highlighting his reaction.
