Draymond Green could be on the harness at the Warriors… He is coming to the end of his contract and will be able to leave for free at the end of the season, and above all, his attack on Jordan Poole has created tension in the locker room. Will it be exchanged or not for these reasons? The decision is already made.
In poorly managed teams, small problems can grow out of proportion and destroy the locker room. In large institutions, the biggest problems are solved quickly and everyone is focused on the collective goal. The Warriors could have imploded after the right of Draymond Green on Jordan Poole, but they still seem so strong. The bond between the two has not changed on the pitch.

The Warriors dream of a new title with Draymond!
If on the ground things are already going better, the personal situation inside is still unclear. While Poole and Andrew Wiggins have just been extended, the Warriors no longer have enough money to offer him a new contract and he could leave freely next summer. A situation that could push its leaders to exchange it in the coming months to recover compensation. According to Zach Lowe ofESPNa decision would already be made in the Bay.
From what I hear, all of the Warriors’ statements in the media mitigate the icy climate and the tension that currently reigns in the locker room. But if the question may arise, everyone assures me that Draymond Green will not be traded. They want to win a new title and will keep this formula, unless something drastic happens. He will be there all season.
According to the journalistESPN, the tensions between Draymond Green and the rest of the locker room would be much greater than what is said in the media. The Warriors are trying to put on a good show publicly, but there is still a long way to go before they find a good chemistry. Despite this, GM Bob Myers does not intend to find a way out for his All-Star.
Golden State’s main objective is to achieve the double, and for this the presence of Draymond Green in the group is vital. If Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman seem ready to take a step forward, the experience of the quadruple champion is a considerable asset. He remains the defensive base of Steve Kerr’s system and the one who can change the course of a meeting with his energy…
Despite his unacceptable gesture, despite the tensions still present in the locker room, despite the risque to see him go for free at the end of the season, Draymond Green should stay with the Warriors. As long as he contributes to victories he will be calm.
