Warriors’ Big Move: Draymond Green Traded in Bold 3-Team Deal
It’s simple to say that, but difficult to support. Should the Warriors aim to secure a championship, their top chance rests with Stephen Curry, despite his gradual decline in the ability to lead them to victory. If that is the objective, then other objectives such as celebrating lifelong warriors, maintaining team unity, or developing young talent may be significant but less crucial. When you continue on that route, you will face tough choices regarding the experienced players on the Warriors team, especially Draymond Green.
The Warriors team from last season was skilled enough to face any team in the Western Conference, but they missed out on the opportunity and were sent to the Play-In Tournament where they suffered a loss in a do-or-die game on away soil. Why were they ranked so poorly?
Draymond Green remains the Same
Considering the possibility of trading Draymond Green is being discussed. Draymond Green’s failure to accept responsibility and manage his behavior had a major impact on the team at the beginning of the season, resulting in two suspensions and causing the Warriors to fall behind in the standings without recovering. Draymond Green behaved well for most of the later part of the season, and his defensive contribution is clearly crucial for the Warriors’ success. However, it is safe to say that the organization must be prepared for the possibility of him getting suspended again, possibly for a longer period, if he has a bad day.
