Draymond has cost the Warriors 2 championships. I will not miss him when he leaves. I know that’s Steph’s boy, but Steph needs to wake up and realize that he is the golden goose, not Draymond.

They should have been got rid of him they would have still got a ring without him… They have good power forwards that was out there.. they still would have had Jordan Poole that sinner that they traded to Detroit they could have developed him more as well

Warrior should’ve been got rid of him. Who cares what you think of Jordan Poole it is a fact that when he was on the Warriors running the second team, he was a 20+ points average a game. The Warriors would’ve repeated if Draymond didn’t punch him. They let this man get away with a lot. If they let him go now, it’s 6 or so years too late.

Trading Draymond was 6 overdue the fact that he stayed longer than Klay is still mind boggling to me regardless of how bad Klay has declined he’s still a better player than Draymond and even if GS gets Giannis and some how keeps Draymond No Steven A they wouldn’t be any good even with Jimmy Butler the west is stacks GS with Giannis Curry would be in the play in tournament and that’s being modest

I would keep Draymond! I wouldn’t trade him. I know most would, but I wouldn’t.

I would never get rid of Draymond Green, you’ll never see a passionate team player like him again.. The NBA is a clown show now.

I’m only here to laugh at Stephen A.’s forehead.

No teams wanted him, no teams offered him a contract, because everyone knows he is trash without Steph and Klay, I don’t know why warriors gave him that current contract
@cooljp1531

The better question is “Why would Milwaukee, or any team, want Green even if they could get him for a few dirty jockstraps and towels”
@DAnn1023L

Of course his 86% of his assists is from Steph, because he only play when Steph and Klay is playing, No teams wanted him, no teams offered him a contract, because everyone knows he is trash without Steph and Klay, I don’t know why warriors gave him that current contract
