Golden State Warriors Receive: G/F Josh Hart, G/F Gary Payton II
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Draymond Green
Of course, this isn’t the first controversial incident surrounding Draymond Green.
It’s not the first time he’s had a conflict with a teammate, either. Green was the one who had the audacity to tell Kevin Durant that the Warriors “didn’t need him”. Apparently, Durant took his words to heart, leaving the Warriors shortly after.
Meanwhile, Green’s had his share of problems with players outside of the Warriors as well. Who can forget him routinely kicking players in…their personal areas…throughout the Warriors’ 2014-15 playoff run.
Eventually, Green found himself suspended, and the Warriors ceded the NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
