In this brief YouTube clip, Draymond Green and Jamal Crawford converse about the hypothetical scenario of starting an NBA franchise. Crawford asks whether a new franchise should aim to go all‑in within the first three years. Green explains that an aggressive three‑year push can backfire, potentially delaying success by another five to six years, and suggests that a longer, more measured runway may be wiser. The dialogue highlights the strategic trade‑offs between rapid investment and sustainable growth when building a franchise around a young star.

So if you starting a franchise today.
Yeah. All the guys in the league, you starting it with Wimby? Is my franchise trying to go for it the next 3 years? I'm trying to go the next—
No, no, no. Let's say you starting a franchise and you know, you're the owner of the franchise. So you could be tough going all in in the first 3 years, you know, like you try to go all in the first 3 years, it can possibly set you back another 5, 6 years.
That's what I'm saying.
Going for it in 3 years. So just say you starting it in, The runway is the runway.
Oh yeah, for sure. There's no doubt. If it was 3 years, then it's like a Joker, right? Or it's like Embiid. But if it's like 7 years or 5 to 7, yeah, it's him for sure. Now it's just about who's gonna play with him. And to your point, okay, what does he do best where we can, we know what to put around him. Yes. You know what I'm saying? So that part of it. But if it's that, it's without a doubt, he's the one I'm starting.
