Former Lakers champion Danny Green shared his thoughts about the new-look team and what he is concerned about. “I mean, at first I wasn’t sure where they were going the direction and then everything happened so fast. And I was like, ‘Damn, OK. This piece, that piece.’ And I liked a lot of the pieces they picked up. I know they’re young, so not super experienced. I think they’re going to be a pretty good regular season team. Playoffs, I don’t know because of the youth and experience, but I like the moves they made, I like the pieces they have. They have more depth, they got younger and faster. They can get out and run a little more.”
Oh No He Didn't: Danny Green on where Russell Westbrook ranks all time among point guards: "Even if you don't respect his body of work, he's got to be in your top 10, even if you don't like him. Just because of what he's done. We never thought we see anybody else average a triple double again. He made it look easy"
Danny Green on Lakers’ sale: You want owners that are in this league that care about the game and not just about making a buck or just the other stuff that doesn't really matter. Owners that actually want to be around, be at the games, and then care to build their teams and put money into the team… Jay Wagers: Instead of a corporation. Green: Yeah. Byron Scott: "Listen, it matters but it don't matter because we got no say so whatsoever. You know what I'm saying? But it matters because of the fact that when you play for the Lakers, like we have, and it's under the Buss family, that umbrella, you just never thought or never imagined it ever being owned by somebody else. So, I'm sure just like all three of us, the first sale to the Walters Group for 10 billion, we all were like, 'What?' They sold? And then my second thought was, 'Oh shit, 10 billion, okay, well I get it.' You know what I'm saying? But you still have that initial shock of them being sold because you just never fathomed the fact that the Buss family would not own the Lakers."
For the second year in a row, Danny Green will be at LBJ in Laredo. Green is set to host a free basketball camp from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 29 at LBJ, located at 5626 Cielito Lindo Boulevard. Students in first through 12th grades are welcome to the camp, which is sponsored by Laredo Emergency Room.
Danny Green on LeBron James' decision: “I was like this can’t be real news, Shams is somebody hacking you, this can’t be real news, you know what I’m saying? 2 years $8 million to Philly none of that was in the cards for me. So, yeah it was shocking it was just as shocking as the Jaylen Brown news probably for me.”

Wemby Alien Era: Danny Green is disappointed by the Spurs decision to fire Jacob Tobey over cheating allegations: “First and foremost, I want to say I love everything the Spurs do and how they operate as an organization. They run a tight ship, they don’t deal with no BS, and they don’t like drama. So I understand certain issues they’re going to be like ‘No we can’t allow this’. To me, this was not one of those issues..
Danny Green: With social pictures, we don’t know what the timetable of it was, if he was with this girl or not, or if he was even dating his girl at the time while he was with this girl. This girl could have made it up and she hacked this, you know, social media and she wanted to ruin his life and you allowed that to happen. He’s a really good dude, great person. I thought this was a foul. I’m not happy about it, really disappointed in this decision.”
Danny Green: "Jayson Tatum was rehabbing, and he also has a young baby. As adults, you are grown, guys have families. You do not hang out a lot at home. Most of the hanging out is on the road. If Jayson Tatum is not traveling with the team, going to dinners, and hanging out, he is not going to see him as much."
Danny Green on Celtics trying to trade Jaylen Brown for Giannis: This is disrespectful. And I'm not even that type of person. But y'all could kick rocks, bro. I’m out of here. I'm gone. I'm cool. Y'all don't want me, I'm cool. Like, not only did it not fall through, but they're still talking about we're still entertaining idea. Like right now, they're still entertaining trades.

Danny Green says Darryn Peterson resume right now it’s looking like a Ben Simmons type of thing: “Like we haven’t seen anything like this since Ben Simmons was in college. Kind of like shutting it down mid-season or like in game type thing. I don’t know want his draft process is like, but like again, this history you’re having right now is not a good start, man, to the career. Like, you want to be known as a guy that’s willing to be out there and lay it on the line. You have to prove yourself like P said every day, every night. Like, reprove yourself. You can’t start off thinking you’re just going to be the best thing ever and be a diva coming into this league right away.” (Via @NFGShow )
Kendrick Perkins: I didn't get this from no inside source with the Celtics, but I just feel like at this point Jaylen Brown is somewhat talking himself right up out of that organization with his live stream. And people may say ‘man, Perk, you overreacting or you tripping’. No, I'm not. Because Allie you've been in locker rooms, you played at a high level in college, you covered at a high level. That's why you got all them Emmys. Danny Green, three-time champion. And y'all know like I know that podcasting, that was not going to be tolerated in our locker room because it breaks a trust. Like the most important thing that you need when you're trying to go win a championship is you need trust.
Danny Green: I am a big Austin Reaves guy. I think he's very special and in today's market, he's definitely worthy of a max, right? So I know it's tough when you're trying to build a championship team. I think a lot of guys can learn from Jalen Brunson. And I don't expect anybody to take a haircut, but like and maybe in another place he could. I know this taxes in California a little steep, so it's hard to take a cut in California, but I mean I would love for him to stay with the Lakers and be with Luka Doncic. It’d be fun to keep watching them grow together.
