Draymond Green appeared on CONAN to talk about a number of things. The Golden State Warriors forward was known to be one of the most avid recruiters of Kevin Durant in free agency. His efforts were successful, and here he talks about the extent of his efforts, saying that he called and texted Durant millions of times to stay on his radar.
Green, the Warriors organization, and the reigning MVP Stephen Curry making such a valiant push at Durant likely made him more comfortable about the idea of joining the team that just beat him in the conference finals. Green and the Warriors were likely encouraged to go all out for Durant after how they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals. In the end, Green’s efforts are justified by how special this team can be with Durant, but it will be a different narrative if the expected outcome isn’t reached.
