Draymond makes physical prediction for first game against Klay originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Warriors star Draymond Green and his former teammate Klay Thompson will be friends for life, even after the shooter left Golden State for the Dallas Mavericks.
But things might not be so friendly on the court during the 2024-25 NBA season.
“I’m running through his chest,” Green told the “Sloane Knows Podcast” at Warriors Media Day on Monday, before saying “of course” he’s going to send some trash talk Thompson’s way.
“He’s my brother, but he’s not with us. He’s not with us — he’s with the opos.”
Green has never been one to hold anything back on the court, and it will be no different when he faces his former teammate of 12 seasons for the first time on Nov. 12 when the Mavericks visit Chase Center.
It will be an interesting night for and Thompson and the Warriors after the Splash Brother signed a four-year, $9.7 million Mavericks contract in NBA free agency, leaving the only team he knew for a fresh start in Dallas.
But despite their friendship, Thompson can be sure that Green and the rest of Golden State won’t take it easy now that they’re Western Conference foes.
