I cannot see the Warriors wanting to trade Green unless he gets pissed if they don't give him a max deal. While he is an asshole and a hothead, he also gets under players skin and throws off their game along with being a top tier defender. He's well worth keeping i'm just not sure he's worth max money.

He is not. Not anymore after that incident. He made a lot of analysts look deeper into his past performance and many NBA fans think he may not be worth the money anymore. Just one mistake made a lot of opinions about him flip.

What I didn't like after watching 20 minutes of 35 minutes of the press interview on Draymond? (Yes, I stopped midway because I didn't like what I am hearing.)
He said earlier in that interview that he won't go into details about how he came to decide on punching JP. Why? Because he doesn't want sympathy that would change the opinion of people.
Afterward, there are questions that can be answered in a short manner and yet he always makes it long with stories and repeated apologies.
For me, he is gaining sympathy by doing that and IMO, it was his plan. He may have not said the details but he did it in a way people won't realize they are already on his side because he sounded real.
He's a good talker, I give him that. Maybe he should continue his podcast career instead of NBA.

Yes, the guy is obviously worth a keep but definitely not worth a max contract. Even before this incident, I really don't think he can get a max contract. He's probably bluffing in order to get a better deal with his dying stats. He still got this season though to prove his worth. And we will see what the team chemistry looks like after this incident.

Draymond's podcast is getting more and more popular, especially when he won another title last season. He can really get a good job at commentating or even focusing on his podcast after his NBA career.

Maybe for now yes he has a good contribution to the team but what about for next succeeding years? For sure his game play will decline more and leadership will not totally help their team for more longer times since for sure its just a waste of their asset to spend a huge contract for a possible bench warmer. Green is 32 years old and giving max contract is not totally worth for the management
