Although he understood the emotional difficulty, he expressed his happiness with Thompson’s choice, saying it was the right one for his welfare.
“I’m glad he went,” Green remarked.
“He wasn’t happy here anymore, which is why I’m happy. I want what’s best for him as a brother, not what’s best for me, the team, or the company.”
With Thompson’s departure, the Warriors have come to an end of an era. Thompson was instrumental in the team’s three NBA titles.
His choice to sign with the Mavericks was made following a period of apparent discontent, which worried Green.
“We were together more often than we were with our families. It upset me to see him like way last year,” admitted Green.
