Draymond Green, the esteemed four-time NBA champion, is poised for a pivotal collaboration with 12-time All-Star Chris Paul, who recently joined the Warriors.

Green, who has previously publicly admitted to disliking Paul, expressed confidence in their collective potential.

“When you can put two of the smartest guys in the league on the floor with the weapons we have, I like the odds,” Green said, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Having missed the first two games due to an ankle injury, Green is anticipated to make his season debut today in Houston.
