Golden State Warriors Draymond Green has lambasted the decision to trade veteran Cory Joseph in the recent transfer window.
The mid-season transfer window came to an end on Thursday where teams adjusted their contingent for the remainder of the season.
One of the players to leave Warriors in the transfer window was Joseph who joined the franchise on a one-year deal in the summer last year.
Green was recently quoted in a report where he expressed disappointment in seeing the 32-year-old leave the Warriors.
“That trade sucks,” he said. “And it doesn’t suck from a trading standpoint. It sucks for me as a player who has gotten to build a relationship with Cory Jo, one of the most professional guys I’ve ever seen. [He] works every single day.
“Dude will play pick-up with the young guys because he knows he’s not playing tons of minutes, and then gets put in the game the same night. Year 13. Again, we’re talking about backup point guards, young fellas.
“Year 13. This guy is still playing pickup every day. [He’s] still getting on a treadmill and [running] after every game. [He does] all of these things, true professional.
“And sometimes, it’s just a numbers game and that’s what people should understand about this. It’s a numbers game and sometimes it just goes out. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to Cory Jo. Cory Jo is a huge reason why the chemistry on this team is as good as it is.
“The energy that he brings every single day. It sucks to see him go, and he will be missed around here. That’s for certain.”
Joseph joined the Indiana Pacers for the remainder of the campaign. He is having a decent season on a personal level where he is averaging 6.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and three assists per game.
