Warriors news: Options to replace Draymond Green for Game 5, Golden State will match offers for Harrison Barnes, 2016 NBA Finals MVP candidates

The Warriors have taken a commanding 3-1 lead in the Finals, but will try to clinch a second consecutive title without the help of Draymond Green. Can they do it? We look at how we got to this point and the options for doing this without Green.

As you know quite well by now, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green will be suspended for Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals after being retroactively assessed another flagrant foul this season.

Obviously, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories out there but Kiki VanDeWeghe has been open about this reasoning for the decision — which was apparently the subject of a spousal debate at home — in multiple interviews with media, including this Q&A with Sam Amick of USA Today.
