I've been a huge Draymond fan for years. Steph was "the guy" but Draymond was the leader of that team, that's rare that an unglamorous, gritty player is the unquestioned locker room guy in a team with so many talents, it's also rare that someone with so big an ego was able to know how to play his role so well and not get in the way of the other players. He was one of the great basketball minds in the league, as soon as the other side is on the ball you can see him orchestrate the whole defense, he's similar to Jokic from a defensive point of view.

This is saying nothing of how under-rated he is as a passer on that team, despite being someone that doesn't look to make flashy plays and doesn't hold the ball looking for them, it just shows how good he was at understanding how to play both sides of the ball, despite not having the shooting tools to be a great offensive player.

I really thought he was a candidate to be a great coach, a determined winner, a born leader, and a huge basketballing mind (on both defense and offense).

But he needs to grow up. His advancing years have seem him spiral more into egotism than into reserved maturity. Instead of getting better at leading his team he acts like a bully to the opposition, he's now more the brawn than the brains at GSW. It's truly pathetic and sad and I can only agree that there seems to be underlying mental health issues at play now.

Just to be clear....You advocate waiting until a player's value is at its lowest before trading them?


Is there a player in the league with a lower trade value than Draymond Green?

-Aging player with a declining game
-Has probably injured or pissed off multiple players in your team’s locker room
-Is in year 1 of a 4/$100 mil extension…
-Most ejections (18) among all active players.
-Suspended Indefinitely

dray is who he is and no amount of "time off for help" will change that. you have to FORCE him to change, ie 25>30 game suspension AS A START

another reason he wont change is he has too much money to try.

money allows you to not give a sh****


I actually like the comments guys like KD, Nurk, and Gobert are making. Bet this is pissing him off even more.

100% this. Draymond loves being a badass loose cannon that people fear/hate but reluctantly respect. You know being pitied is driving him **** nuts. Everyone saying “wow, I really hope that poor miserable **** can fix himself so he’s not such a broken human being any more” has to have him punching holes in the wall.


this is some "bleeding heart liberal" sh*** right here.

being pitied will probably get him a shorter penalty, and a willingness for people to forgive and forget FASTER. being pitied is EXACTLY what he wants. that means more people are in his corner willing to fight for him

that's all he cares about

Please avoid the political language. Doesn't look like anyone reacted to it but posts like this often derail threads. Thx.

I can't believe there was a time that Draymond was one of my 5 favorite players and IMO the most underrated player in the league. In his first 5 years he was the type of player that would be a fit on any team. Now there's not a team in the league that would touch him.

Nah, Dray's a fake tough guy. He's a bully. He uses his size and mouth to intimidate others who won't fight back but if he runs into someone who's real tough, he runs. A guy like Isiah Stewart.

Yeah ok. Like Draymond is the worst person to ever have to go to mandatory counseling. Some of you people with your pearl clutching is absolutely bananas.

He deserves a severe punishment. But he's not the biggest "scumbag" to ever exist. Jesus.

To be fair, the man just said he's a scumbag - which Dray is. You were the one that added the 'biggest' adjective to it.

Everyone keeps saying Green isn't well. He's just a jerk who picks on people he thinks won't fight back. That's it. Hes a jerk.

This is accurate. The fact he was contrite after the fact makes it all the more worse. The whole sorry but not sorry crap makes him seem like a petulant man child.

I mean he doesnt even **** apologize and hasn't been given really consequences. In real life there's jail. Hell I got put in some mental health place for some bull that didn't warrant it even if it were true. Nothing like Draymond has done or close.

I'm not sure he wants to be pitied. The guy is a complete ass, all I was saying was people telling him he has a mental illness is probably pissing the **** out of him. A guy who wants to be known as a tough guy.

Kills his whole bad image to someone with severe mental issues.

And? I guess it takes a bit of reading comprehension to understand what it means when a person says a counselor shouldn't have to counsel him considering the types they deal with on a regular. I do understand some people are still in their remedial phase of reading so no worries.
