In an episode of ‘The Draymond Green Show’, Green once said that he has had verbal spats with teammates Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.

However, Green explained that their arguments would involve Green doing most of the yelling and the ‘Splash Brothers’ ignoring it most of the time.

Draymond is tryna get to LA.
Damn ! 😳— Trae Young (@TheTraeYoung) October 7, 2022
Beyond that being a sucka move, Draymond needs to know what he did to Jordan Poole as a man, the Warriors as a team and his own legacy! Leadership is more than holding teammates accountable, you gotta check yourself too! Carry on…
