The Golden State Warriors are set to lose Klay Thompson in free agency, one of the cores of their dynasty that resulted in four NBA championships in seven years.
However, the breakup was hardly a surprise, as it culminated tension brewing for years despite their success.
Team insider Jason Dumas of KRON4 News mentioned on the 95.7 The Game podcast that Thompson's erratic behavior has been on par with Draymond Green's publicly visible outbursts. However, the sharpshooter's actions were not as vocal.
"In the last three years, I know Draymond has punched people and got himself suspended on the court. I'm telling you this. Klay has been equally exhausting behind the scenes," he said.
"It's not as loud because it's not you stomping on someone's chest. If he's slamming stuff on the bench and sulking, and doing that on the court, how do you think it is in practice? How do you think it is in the locker room? It has been uncomfortable. It has. It just doesn't come out as loudly as Draymond Green," Dumas added.
One major reason Draymond Green is still with the Warriors
Dumas added the essential reason why Draymond Green remains a member of the Warriors despite his controversies.
Stephen Curry has strongly endorsed the fiery forward to stay, citing their complementary playing styles.
The Warriors have had numerous reasons to contemplate trading Green, including several incidents such as on-court altercations and punching former teammate Jordan Poole.
