The Golden State Warriors will keep Draymond Green past the NBA trade deadline, according to sources. Green was involved in trade discussions, including a potential deal with the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, the Warriors didn't pursue any trades, and Green will remain with the team.

Green's future was uncertain with the trade deadline approaching. He holds a $27.6 million player option for next season. Despite the trade talks, Green expressed understanding, stating he has no ill will towards the organization. The team is now looking ahead, with the focus on the remaining season. The team is hoping the addition of Kristaps Porzingis will help them.

The Warriors also considered a trade for the Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis. They believe Porzingis's skills complement Green's defensive prowess. Porzingis's health is a concern, as he has been out since January 7th. The team anticipates his return soon. The Warriors are currently fighting for playoff positioning in the Western Conference.
