It was during Draymond Green’s five months of fury that the conjecture began to surface. At the essence of it was whether his high-velocity characteristics were threatening the blindingly bright future of the team, if not Green himself.
There was enough concern that folks in front offices around the league would mention Green’s name in the same sentence as that of the former Ron Artest.
Which led to the obvious question: Might the Warriors and their much-envied chemistry, be better off without Green and his occasionally exasperating behavior?
The Warriors, for their part, consistently closed that door.
