Indeed, some people did not see how valuable Green is in the lineup, he may not be scoring a lot but he is an all-around player who can contribute on the assists, rebounds, and defensive plays. In the 2016 NBA Finals, Draymond Green was suspended one game, and that was taken advantage by the Cavaliers, Lebron's team, and the Cavaliers won the championship that time.

I would definitely agree that him getting one suspension was the reason why Cavs won that specific game, but the final game was basically just a horrible one GSW all around. Draymond still had an amazing game he had 32 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists that game, but when you keep Klay at 14 and Steph at 17 then you win the game. Draymond never played another game that great, dude knew he had to pick it up when other two was covered like crazy and he did his best but wasn't enough.

I would say there is a level where a player is a lot more important than what stats show, and after a while the stats are so horrible that what he brings aside from stats starts to be bad. Draymond had that a year ago, whatever he did wasn't enough to justify his bad stats, and he is getting worse as well, his three point shooting is gone too, so he is a great leader on court and I like that but he needs to be a lot more assertive when playing as well.

Sometimes a team will struggle especially if they miss one piece of their star player, and in the case of the Warriors, that was Klay Thompson who was a clutch player and knows how to win. Did you still remember that Thompson was the big reason for the Warrior's comeback when they were down 3-1 against the OKC with WB and Durant, after that season, Durant joined the Warriors and the Warriors won their championship as they got stronger.
