Together in Paris? LeBron James and Draymond Green were spotted in France

Draymond Green was spotted with LeBron James shortly after entering the free agent market, triggering speculation about where he will end up next.

Draymond Green is entering the free agent market and will be able to sign with any team in the NBA after declining his player option with the Golden State Warriors. Speculation has led many to believe that he will join LeBron James in the Los Angeles Lakers.

Green and James were spotted at a party in France the same day the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year ended his contract with the Warriors.

The two winding up playing together in LA is not unreasonable because both players share an agent. Rich Paul, from Klutch Sports Group, is the representative of both, and we know that LeBron has a certain way about convincing the front offices to bring in players he’d like to play with.

Green and James are business partners, but they are also buddies. The Michigan State University graduate invested in LBJ’s tequila brand, Lobos 1707, and have been spotted hanging out on other occasions.

Mike Dunleavy is the new general manager of the Warriors, and will do everything in his power to keep Draymond Green in Golden State . However, the ball is in Green’s court and it all depends on what four-time NBA champion he thinks is best for him.

How much money has Draymond Green made in the NBA?

Green entered the NBA as a second-round pick in the 2012 Draft and has since played in 758 regular-season games with the Warriors. Over that span, he has averaged 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.0 blocks.

In 11 years as a professional, based on Spotrac data, Green has generated $155.5 million through his contracts with the Warriors.

Golden State was set to play him $27.5 million next year if he signed his player option. Now, the 33-year-old power forward is looking for a contract that will pay him between 25 and 30 million dollars.
