With the February 5th trade deadline fast-approaching, NBA players around the league are waiting with bated breath to find out if they’ll be sent somewhere new at the end of the week.

Warriors veteran big man Draymond Green is not one of them.

I’ve been here for 14 years,“ Green said to ESPN’s Anthony Slater this morning. ”I have no reason to sit and worry about leaving. But if I’m traded, that’s part of the business.”

As the Warriors might be seeking to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, there may be reason for some Warriors players to worry about being traded. Green, a cornerstone of the Warriors for the past 14 years, may possibly be on the chopping block for the first time in his career.

Green, 35, is averaging 8.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists this season. He’s a big man, sure, but he’s a small big man, and Giannis is a better and younger player in comparison.

“I ain’t losing no sleep though,” Green said. “I slept great last night.”
