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

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)
