He does seem to be more trouble than he’s worth at this point. And the Warriors may decide to part ways with him – sooner rather than later.

But I’m telling you BD I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if some really bad or mediocre team signed him to some short term deal, with conditions attached, of course.

Frankly, I think the entire NBA is just a really bad product right now.

Thanks for sharing this Wil.

Draymond has reached that point – his skills are fading fast and now he’s just playing with anger.

The emotion that drove Draymond Green to the NBA’s 2017 Defensive Player of the Year award, four All-Star appearances and four championships has been described any number of ways — “competitive spirit,” “energy,” “bravado,” “the frenzy,” “passion,” “a fiery attitude,” “aggression” and, yes, even “that rage.”

As former Golden State Warriors guard Leandro Barbosa told ESPN for a 2016 piece titled, “Golden State’s Draymond Green problem,” the forward is at his best as “the guy that always gets mad, the guy everybody hates.”

Everyone in the organization — front-office members, coaches, teammates and even the man himself — has spoken ad nauseam over the past decade about the importance of Green striking a balance between anger and action. The dynasty’s success has depended on his straddling that line, they’ve all said.

“If you take my fire away, I may be a decent player because I can really think the game,” Green told Howard Beck, then of Bleacher Report, in 2018, when the Warriors’ wagon was rolling to its third title in four years. “I’d still have that, but if you take my fire away, I’m not near the guy that I am and the player that I am.”

This ignores Green’s ability to play basketball. In addition to his anger and acumen was an athleticism — never elite by NBA means but enough to switch onto any position, help at the rim, recover to the perimeter. Enough to drop a 32-15-9 line in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals. Enough to put his acumen into action.

But what happens when his athleticism fades, when he cannot compete with his less “fiery” rivals, when he can no longer make good on his basketball IQ? The only thing left for Green to act upon, I fear, is the anger.
