I just don't know if you can find another draymond. Someone who can play elite defense like he can who can shoot at what? Over 37% from behind the arc at his size? Who also knows what to do with the ball...i just think that's more difficult to find

meh. Green took a step backwards this year. And every year, it's going to be more and more difficult to get away with all the stupid crap he does (yelling at refs, throwing his arms like a wild man, holding guys, punching guys, kicking guys, etc.).

The reality is that Green cost your team a championship last year, and decreased as a basketball player this year. Thompson did neither.

green is unique in that he can defend 1-5, but he cannot shut down a single player all game.

Draymond shot >37% one time, last year. Career 33.4%, this year 30.8%.

Finding a Draymond is more difficult, I agree. But finding a 3&D SG of Klay's caliber is difficult too.

The hotter commodity would be Klay on the open market and you don't have to worry about a loose cannon going off with him. Green is the "emotional" glue for the GSW, but he could very well be the lance stephenson on any other team (hell he was that last year in his half-time F'bomb tirades when things fell apart)

Draymond was b1g poy with one bad leg. Smooth. Leg healed. Has complete game, albeit headcase. 2nd round pick.

The question for those complaining about kd joining the band, would lebrons present team with kyrie and love be favored over either magic/kareem,worthy or favored over larry/McHale/chief/walton?

You think not? Hence whiners are clueless. There were often just one or two great teams.

Boston celtics won 11 out of 12.
Russell/cousy/heinsohn for most of that.
