Kevin Durant And Draymond Green Agree That Bob Myers And Steve Kerr Messed Up The Warriors Situation

When Kevin Durant opted to leave the Golden State Warriors, many blamed a fractured relationship with forward Draymond Green.

After all, green was the one who got into it with KD during the playoffs in 2018 for the whole world to see.

After the sideline blowup, Draymond Green reportedly called Kevin Durant a ‘bi**h’ in the locker room, and told him to leave the team because they were doing just fine without him.

During a sit down, Draymond Green and KD talked about the incident. And the two former teammates were in full agreement that it wasn’t necessarily the altercation, but the way the Steve Kerr and GM Bob Myers handled the whole thing that made it blow up.

“It wasn’t the argument it was the way that everybody, Steve Kerr acted like it didn’t happen,Bob Myers tried to just discipline you and put the mask over everything, I really felt that was such a big situation for us as a group, the first time we went through something like that, we had to get that shit all out. I remember watching “The Last Dance” and when Scottie (Pippen) didn’t go into the game, the whole team in the locker room told Scottie it was fucked up that you did that. We needed that, we just needed to through all the shit out on the table”

Draymond Green fully agreed with Kevin Durant that Steve Kerr and Bob Myers should have just let the two star players handle it like adults.

“They tried to tell me you need to apologize, and I told them I’ll talk to K but ya’ll aren’t going to tell me what I need to say and they went on for an hour and forty-five minutes saying a bunch of bullshit and ultimately they realized alright we’re not getting through to him, we’re going to try again in the morning. And so we met the next morning and they said alright, you slept on it, are you ready to apologize? And I told them right then and there, I said ya’ll are about to fuck this up, I said that the only person that can make this right is me and K and there’s nothing that ya’ll can do and ya’ll are going to fuck this up, and in my opinion, they fucked it up, and they told me right then and there that we’re going to suspend you for this game and i literally laughed in their face and Bob (Myers) said to me, wow that was not the reaction I was looking for or expecting.”

If Bob Myers and Steve Kerr would have been able to move forward from the Draymond Green-Kevin Durant altercation, they’d undoubtedly be able to extend their dynasty for many years to come.

After a few years, it seems like KD and Draymond remain good friends. And they’re confident they would have been able to get passed the dustup if not for the external pressure put on by Steve Kerr and Bob Myers.
