"Last year, free agency, talking to you every day like 'Yo, you good? What about this, what about that?' Then the conversation turned to 'Come to the Warriors' and you were like, 'F---, no. I'm not coming there. I'm not coming to play with you all.'

"I'm like 'Bruh, you come to the Warriors, we can win a championship if you come to the Warriors.' He didn't come. We still won a championship, but he didn't come. I had to throw that one out there," Green revisited last summer.

On the other end, DeRozan didn't explain why exactly he turned down the Warriors.

The current Bulls leader ended up joining Chicago on a three-year, $85 million agreement.

DeRozan did have a good first season with the Bulls averaging 27.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists over 76 games and earning them a playoff appearance.
