reached a buyout agreement with the Oklahoma City Thunder, 32-year-old JaMychal Green decided to join the Golden State Warriors to help the Bay Area army challenge the defending title. He revealed that Warriors coach Steve Kerr personally called to recruit him, which made him unable to refuse, and he was also very excited to play for Warriors .
"He (Kerr) said the Warriors were very interested in me and hoped that I could join them and become a part of the team." Green said. Suddenly receiving this call made him startled, who was on vacation in Jamaica at the time, because Green said that he was originally planning to join another team, but after chatting with Kerr, he changed his mind, "I can't refuse him. I really want to be a part of the things that this team has built."
Then, Green called his long-time friend Draymond Green, "He felt very excited, and we had great conversations, which made me more confident that I would join the Warriors." Green admitted that his role in the Warriors was like Draymond Green, "playing with all his strength, then doing some dirty work, shooting, and mainly doing good defense." In addition, Green is expected to replace Otto Porter Jr.'s vacancy and even serving as a small ball center.
Green said that in the past, when I was in Denver, I occasionally needed to play as a substitute for star center Nikola Jokic, so I would not feel unfamiliar with it. In response to the 3-point shooting rate in the last season, he blamed his wrist injury, "I think after just rest, confidence and accuracy will come back!"
"I can't have a comfortable idea here, or even be content with anything. I have to keep working and get better. This is something I need to keep." Green added that he is looking forward to playing with Andre Iguodala, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and others.
