Draymond Green went through a perilous road last season after confronting Kevin Durant after an overtime road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, one that would see him suspended for a game due to conduct detrimental to the team. More importantly, his suspension started to question his standing with the franchise and his relationship with general manager Bob Myers.

“I started to tell myself in my mind, ‘Wow, [Myers is] flipping on me,'” Green told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod during a joint interview with Myers.

“And it just felt like, ‘Wow, OK, is this not the guy I've known for all these years? Is he turning on me?' And I started to tell myself all of these things, and then and everybody's like, ‘Oh my God, the Warriors sided with Kevin Durant.'

“That was the hardest thing for me, because a lot of people don't understand me. Bob does.”

At first, the suspension was seen as the Warriors quickly protecting their superstar player, ensuring that Green's actions don't reflect poorly on the organization, as Golden State still had hope he would re-sign in the summer. Green's punishment was the reaction after this locker room incident quickly went public, swarming rumors of Durant's potential departure and the validity of Green's personal claims.

Green would soon after apologize after a day away from the team, rebuilding his relationship with Durant back to a good standing. The two star players did not have another incident the entire season and Myers is still as open with Green as he has been in seasons past.
