Danny Green is one of the most successful and respected NBA players of all time. He has been a part of three championship teams and was named to the All-Defensive First Team four times. As he enters his 18th season in 2023, Danny Green is looking to add to his impressive legacy. With his experience, leadership, and skill set, Danny Green is poised to have a great season in 2023. Fans across the world will be watching as he continues to make an impact on the court for years to come.
According to Green’s latest episode of the Inside the Danny Green Room podcast, he chose the Cavs because of the team’s roster, which is a better fit than Los Angeles. With the Lakers already making multiple moves to beef up their roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Danny Green felt he would be a better fit in Cleveland.
The inquirers were concerned with what could be done to move the needle and how they could benefit, yet they failed to provide me with enough time and resources to determine if I had a good chance to contribute and if the team was certain to make the playoffs. This sense of urgency means the team is under enormous pressure to win soon, and a lot of that hinges on the good health of LeBron and Anthony Davis over the past few weeks. Taking this risk was a major factor in my decision.
Danny Green’s assessment of the Lakers makes a lot of sense. With Malik Beasley and Jared Vanderbilt signed, along with Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Troy Brown Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV, the Lakers already have plenty of wings and Green’s playing opportunities aren’t guaranteed. Furthermore, while they struggle to make the playoffs, Cleveland is a definite postseason contender striving to contend in the upper echelons of the Eastern Conference. In fact, Danny Green has been a critical component of the Lakers’ championship-winning campaign in 2020, consistently starting every game. He appeared as a 3-and-D player.
