Warriors star Draymond Green and his former teammate Klay Thompson will remain friends for life, even after the sharpshooter left Golden State for the Dallas Mavericks.

But things might not be so amicable on the court in the 2024-25 NBA season.

“I’m running through his chest,” Green told the Sloane Knows Podcast at Warriors Media Day on Monday, before saying, “Of course” he would send Thompson some trash talk.

“He is my brother, but he is not with us. He’s not with us – he’s with the opponents.”

Green has never been one to hold back on the court, and that will be no different when he faces his former teammate of 12 seasons for the first time on November 12th when the Mavericks visit Chase Center.

It will be an interesting night for both Thompson and the Warriors after the Splash Brother signed a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks in NBA free agency and the only team he knew for a fresh start in Dallas leaves behind.

But despite their friendship, Thompson can be confident that Green and the rest of Golden State won’t make things easy for him now that they’re Western Conference opponents.
