Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has always been one of the more engaged players in the NBA. He has consistently kept tabs on what's happening around the league, even during the offseason when he's supposed to take a hiatus.
But with the continued success of his podcast and his side hustle as a studio analyst, it's imperative for Green to stay abreast of all the moving pieces and latest developments.
It has been an eventful offseason in the NBA, highlighted by Kevin Durant getting traded to the Houston Rockets, Damian Lillard returning to the Portland Trail Blazers, Bradley Beal signing with the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Boston Celtics making two big trades, just to name a few.
However, some fans aren't satisfied after ESPN's Shams Charania had said this offseason “might be the craziest ever.” Threads user @celticsbp called it “the worst offseason ever,” prompting a response from Green. The Warriors veteran posted six laughing emojis.
Green has never given an opinion that he didn't like, and his reaction here could raise a few eyebrows amid the Jonathan Kuminga situation.
When it comes to the Warriors, their offseason has been largely about the stalemate involving Kuminga. ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel has reported that Golden State isn't happy with sign-and-trade offers and is more inclined to re-sign Kuminga, even though he has been unhappy with his role while playing for Steve Kerr.
Green, for all his outspokenness, has stayed relatively mum on the situation with Kuminga, though a few weeks ago, the four-time champion complained about the new CBA's effect on free agency. Green tried to claim his rant wasn't about Kuminga, but it was hard to believe.
Golden State hasn't made any significant moves in the offseason with Kuminga's situation reportedly holding up possible deals for the likes of Al Horford, De'Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II.
Editor's Note: This article initially claimed Shams made the “worst” remark, when it was really a fan on Threads. The proper corrections have been made, and ClutchPoints regrets the error.
