I'm a scout for the Miami Heat. I say, Draymond Green is Miami Heat culture. We need to draft him. He knows how to play. And Pat was like, I don't want him. I said, why? He never gave me a reason. So every time you came to Miami to go to state wars and y'all beat us there, me and Pat look at each other. He look at me, he say, you bet not say that. You know he not saying it loud. You bet not. I was like, I told you so. Right. I said, if we would've had him and just his presence in the game and knowing the game, we could've won 3 in a row. I'm talking about with LeBron, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh. I felt comfortable with you being on that team, coming in and doing what you supposed to do, 'cause you was the type of Heat player that we needed.
