Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy denied that Draymond Green was included in trade conversations, addressing questions that surfaced as the team pursued Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Dunleavy’s remarks came amid heightened attention around Golden State’s roster direction and the possibility of major moves tied to Antetokounmpo. Green, a longtime centerpiece of the Warriors’ core, has frequently been mentioned in outside discussions whenever the franchise is linked to high-profile targets.

According to Dunleavy, Green was not part of the Warriors’ trade talks connected to their interest in Antetokounmpo. The statement served as a direct response to the idea that Green could have been included in negotiations as Golden State explored avenues to land the former MVP.
The Warriors’ pursuit of a player of Antetokounmpo’s caliber underscores the scale of the conversations surrounding the team, but Dunleavy’s comments were clear in drawing a line around Green’s involvement in those discussions.
