Draymond Green doesn’t buy the Knicks as contenders: ‘Don’t have what it takes’
NY Post
Count Draymond Green as a Knicks non-believer.
The Warriors star criticized the team on his self-titled podcast this week, saying they won’t be in the NBA championship mix as currently built.
“Personally, the Knicks, I just don’t believe that they’re contenders,” Green said. “I don’t think they have what it takes to win at the highest level. I think you can stifle their offense and make it hard on them.”
Green also had harsh words for the Knicks’ defense.
“And I just think, ultimately, guys that don’t really want to defend, it makes it tough to win at the highest level. And so that’s kind of my question with the Knicks.
Earlier this week, Green named the teams he believes are “true contenders” in the Western Conference, putting the Thunder, Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers and his very own Warriors on the list.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
