Brian Windhorst pulls no punches.
The ESPN insider was holding court on ‘NBA Today’, talking about how the Grizzlies, currently ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference, have “upward mobility” because they haven’t been playing with their complete roster yet and could also add talent via trades.
One of their potential bargaining chips? Danny Green, who was sitting right next to him.
“I’m not shocked,” Green said. “At this point in my career I hear my name [in trade rumours] quite often. It’s a blessing. I think I’m getting closer to returning to the court soon. We still have a little bit of time. We have a good group. I’m excited for them. I’m happy for them. They have drafted well, with Zaire Williams, David Roddy, Jake LaRavia. Those are some good pieces. I could see those guys growing into something special.
“So we’ll see the direction they go into, but I think they’re very comfortable where they’re at now, and hopefully Desmond Bane will be back in a couple weeks, and I think they want to see where we are with our team whole.”
Green has not yet played this season as he continues to rehab the torn ACL he suffered in May while playing with the 76ers.
