I REALLY like Draymond Green. He's a an elite defender, versatile and multi-talented player.
I would LOVE to have him in BOS.
That being said, he should have more respect for other players around the league.
Hey Draymond - do your research...
Paul Pierce is OLD SCHOOL - from an era in the NBA long gone, unfortunately. He did not force his way out of BOS - he
respectfully asked DA to either get him help OR trade him.
The rest is history. He - along with KG and Ray - were key in coming together and bringing a title to BOS.
Paul Pierce fell ALL THE WAY to BOS back in that 98' draft and played HARD with MUCH LESS TALENT than the Golden State Warriors right now.....
Would YOU do the same, Draymond?
We also came close to LOOSING Paul Pierce - after his nightclub attack
See those scars, Draymond? He "actually" has scars - not the little dustups you have in your own off-court incidents.
He reportedly took ONLY a month off after that incident and CAME BACK and played the ENTIRE NBA SEASON after that.
TOUGH JUICE.
Here is a well-written article by Adam O'Kane detailing some highlights of his career in BOS -

Hey Draymond - perhaps you should do some research before you run your mouth, Young Buck. Have some respect.
