I wish the Warriors hadn't re-upped Draymond Green, but that deed is done. I think he'll get a 10-game suspension. He's become more easily baited by other players and referees, and he loses his temper more easily. The Warriors have lost at least one championship because of his churlish ways, by his own admission.
The fact remains that he's under contract and the Warriors, in general, do better with him on the court than when he's off the court. So Kerr will play him when he comes back. Part of what affects DG, I suspect, is that as Wiggins and Thompson (and Looney, to a lesser extent) have absolutely tanked, Green's recognition that the team that won a championship 18 months ago is no longer that team...or at least not with those players. And that affects his mindset.
