Draymond Green Reacts to Major LeBron James, Nikola Jokic News

The NBA offseason has sparked significant speculation about LeBron James' future with the Los Angeles Lakers, fueled by his 2026 contract expiration and the team's acquisition of Luka Dončić. Rumors intensified when a photo surfaced showing James meeting with his business partner Maverick Carter and Nikola Jokić's agent, Misko Raznatovic, leading to unfounded theories about James joining the Denver Nuggets.

Reports later clarified that the meeting in France centered on Carter's planned global basketball league, scheduled to launch in 2026. The league will feature six men's and six women's teams operating in a touring format similar to LIV Golf or Formula 1. Key innovations include granting players equity ownership in teams and backing from global investors, with Carter spearheading the $5 billion venture.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green publicly reacted to the league announcement with interest. The initiative could expand basketball's global reach beyond the U.S. and potentially challenge the NBA's structure by offering ownership opportunities unavailable in the current league. As stars like James and Green approach retirement, this venture may provide future business and playing avenues while testing the NBA's dominance in attracting top talent worldwide.
