Draymond Green: Warriors Were Right Fit for LeBron

Green says LeBron James decided against joining the Warriors this summer, unable to shake the two teams' long Finals rivalry despite the basketball fit.

Draymond Green says the Golden State Warriors made basketball sense for LeBron James this summer, but the two sides' history in the NBA Finals ultimately stopped him from signing.

"He just couldn't leave the past behind. He probably thought: 'I've fought these guys over and over again. How's this going to look if I join them now? How much criticism will I have to take if I go there?' In the end, that's why it didn't happen. I think that's why the decision took so long. I know Golden State was the right fit for him. He just could never settle on it," Green said.

Green did not give further detail on when or how the discussions with James took place.
