Draymond Green is suspended indefinitely.

I suspect the Warriors aren't unhappy about this. Gives them a chance to play other people, try other things.

I think it's a net neutral re: cap. I think Draymond draws half his pay, but the Warriors lose half Draymond's pay-related salary cap space.

Finally, the league decides to get serious about stopping Green's thuggish on-court behavior. Maybe this will get his attention, but maybe not. He may be too headstrong to change his conduct. Yes, as Kerr said, the Warriors need Draymond, but no, they don't need the repeated blows to their team reputation and to team chemistry that Green causes. Let him go.

The Warriors are 3-8 in games that Draymond has missed or been ejected, and 7-5 in games in which he has fully participated.

Yep. It may be unfortunate, but Kerr speaks truth.

Warriors have used four different starting lineups in the 8 games that Draymond has not participated at all. The most successful of the lineups -- by a wide margin -- is Chris Paul, Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney. 125.5 offensive rating, 109.8 defensive rating.

Warriors are in a tough spot. They still have Curry  playing at historically great levels. But Thompson is a shell of what he was. Green is a liability, who they unfortunately just signed for several years. Some of the young players off the bench are nice players. But I don’t think they have a difference maker which in the NBA is crucial. 

It’s only a matter of time before they trade Chris Paul. Not sure what they’ll get. it depends if they package him with Kuminga, which has been suggested. 

I think it’s tough for Kerr  to go into “rebuild“ mode with what he’s got. But to an extent, I think that’s what they have to do. At best, this team is an eight through 10. And that very well may be a reach. 

I’ve said this before I’ll say it again, they remind me of the Giants circa 2017. The 2022 championship was a lot like the Giants and 2014. The team actually had no business winning the title.  Now, they are an aging team with contract issues. With a franchise icon that is a free agent at the end of the year. Sound familiar?
