Draymond, I would say, you guys all know from covering him for a long time, he sort of lives on the edge. As far as his spot on our basketball team, he\u2019s always right in the thick of everything. A couple of times in his career he has crossed the line. He crossed the line with Kevin whatever year that was and he crossed the line the other night in a worse fashion, much worse fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo as I said, I would hope that everybody would respect the fact that we feel like we know Draymond and this entire group very well and that while this is not an easy decision we feel this is the best decision going forward and I trust Draymond that he will stay on that edge and not go over it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6023\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6023\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Steve-Kerr4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1108\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Steve-Kerr4.png 1108w, https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Steve-Kerr4-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Steve-Kerr4-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Steve-Kerr4-750x378.png 750w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Kerr via Golden State Warriors YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What do you make of the Warriors just fining Green?
