Both players have extremely high basketball IQs that would make them intriguing teammates.

That said, this late in both of their careers, it's unlikely they will ever get the chance to play on the same NBA team.

Green has spent his entire 12-year career with the Warriors.

He is coming off a season where he averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 49.7% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range.

However, the Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs.
