Draymond Green’s Odds to Join Lakers, Mavericks as Next Team

• Draymond Green is favored to return to the Golden State Warriors as his next team with -180 odds.
• Green was spotted with LA Lakers star LeBron James in France, drawing attention to the Lakers +550 odds to acquire Draymond Green for next season.
• The Dallas Mavericks +800 odds are the only other realistic option, as Draymond’s addition would greatly improve their NBA championship hopes.

Betting Odds for Where Draymond Green Will Play Next Season

• Golden State Warriors -180
• LA Lakers +550
• Dallas Mavericks +800
• Phoenix Suns +1200
• Houston Rockets +1500
• LA Clippers +2500
• Miami Heat +2500
• Portland Trail Blazers +2500
• Memphis Grizzlies +2500

Draymond Green is favored at online sportsbooks to return to the Golden State Warriors. There is mutual interest between Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors to negotiate a contract.

Steve Kerr told the media following their elimination in the NBA Playoffs that “If Draymond’s not back, we’re not a championship contender.” When Draymond was interviewed following the loss, he told the media that he doesn’t want to play anywhere else.

The Los Angeles Lakers are an intriguing potential destination for the four-time NBA champion, as Draymond Green has a close relationship with LeBron James. The two stars were spotted together in France which has influenced betting on the Lakers +550 odds to sign Draymond, but their cap situation may be too steep to add Green.

Los Angeles will try to figure out how to pay Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura this offseason, with both players being pivotal players in the Lakers run to the Western Conference finals. Adding Draymond’s expected large contract to that group makes their +550 Bovada Sportsbook odds to sign Draymond Green unlikely.

Cap difficulties explain the +800 odds for the Dallas Mavericks to be Draymond Green’s next team, as the Mavs will be very tight on money if they re-sign Kyrie Irving. Dallas will have to move the $17 million dollar contracts of Davis Bertans and Tim Hardaway Jr. in order to bring in Draymond, who expects to cost over $25 million a year.

Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison showed that he will make win-now-worthy moves by acquiring Kyrie Irving last season. Draymond Green’s defense and passing would drastically improve the Mavericks 2023-2024 NBA finals odds if they could figure out the cap situation.
