Draymond Green says that he has “two or three” more years in him when it comes to playing in the NBA, which would put him somewhere in the 36 to 37-year-old age range when all is said and done. When the day comes, Green prefers not to have a retirement farewell tour, as he mentioned on his podcast earlier this week. But there is one special circumstance in which he says that he will consider announcing his departure from the game at the start of a season.

In what appeared to be an unlikely pairing, the long-time Golden State Warriors forward had fellow media member and former NBA great Paul Pierce on his podcast this week. The two seemed to have a beef with one another some years ago, highlighted by the infamous sound bite of Green calling out Pierce for the lackluster farewell tour that he was embarking on in 2017.
But they discussed the incident during their air time together, which led to a discussion about what Green’s potential send-off will look like. Pierce asked Green how many years he thought he had left in him, which was swiftly answered as if it has been pondered many times before, and a follow-up question asked if he preferred to do a farewell tour when the day comes:
Nah…Somebody gonna do me like I said to you, and then I’m f*cked…The only chance my last year is announced, if that year happens to coincide with Steph’s last year, or Klay’s last year…That’s the only chance, because then I can ride Steph’s coat tails on his farewell tour and act like its mine

“I can’t because somebody is gonna do me like I said to you, and then I’m f*cked.”
