Draymond Green’s take on LeBron James as greater than Michael Jordan sharpens the GOAT debate by praising James’ ability to win with a limited supporting cast, citing Matthew Dellavedova as an example. The discussion contrasts James’ string of Finals runs against Jordan’s era, framed by the Warriors’ peak from 2015–2018.

Counterpoints highlight the quality of James’ supporting casts across Cleveland, Miami, and L.A.—Wade, Bosh, Irving, Love, Davis—versus Jordan’s surrounding cohort. The piece also notes Luka Dončić as a modern factor in the debate, underscoring how era and roster depth shape the GOAT conversation. The argument remains nuanced and data-rich, not settled.

LeBron James is nearing the end of an era but chasing one more NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers as the franchise balances immediate contention with a long term plan. Rich Paul says LeBron wants a realistic shot at gold and values the Lakers partnership while they navigate a future built around him.

The ongoing GOAT debate with Michael Jordan remains unsettled, with Draymond Green publicly backing James and Paul Pierce weighing in with a candid Celtics perspective. The piece frames longevity, legacy, and playoff timing as the drivers of greatness in a modern era.

Butler is spending the offseason in Morocco, sharpening his shot and playmaking ahead of a full Warriors season. He trained with Buddy Hield and Draymond Green and worked on it with Moroccan pro John Jordan; his deadline-day move from Miami still shapes his role. Last season in Golden State he posted 17.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 32.7 minutes, hinting at a bigger playmaking role if the Warriors lean into pace and creation.

Fantasy managers should watch for Butler's distribution and efficiency, as Golden State looks to leverage his versatility. If chemistry takes root, Butler could lift assists and scoring while contributing solid boards in a lineup geared for multi-category upside.
