Draymond Green and Chris Paul discuss opening a West Coast NBA Players Association office and gym in Los Angeles. Paul rules out becoming executive director but offers to help, though both agree the union would need to raise player dues. Dues have only gone up $5,000 over Green's 12-year career.
Guys be struggling to get a gym in LA. So we get a satellite NBA player's office in LA. Hey, Dray, listen. In 3, 4 years when you like, you know what, I'm done. I'm tying the strings up. I'm throwing them on the wire. Could we see Chris Paul as the executive director?
You absolutely cannot. You absolutely cannot. But I will always be a phone call away just because, man, I learned so much there. We talked about an office and a gym in LA at one point, man. But Dray, we gonna have to talk about these expenses. Yeah, buddy. They gonna have to raise the dues. All this stuff is, is good and well, but these are ideas that I think are valid. But like I said, the players, we gonna have to talk because we never raise the dudes or whatnot. But if guys really wanna see this, stuff can happen.
Yeah. But gotta pay.
Gotta pay.
Gonna cost. I think dudes need to be raised anyway. The reality is dudes may have been raised $5,000 since I've been in the league 12 years.
