Needless to say, Steph Curry and Draymond Green have experienced a great deal together. demonstrating themselves. bringing the Golden State Warriors back to life. obtaining honors. Creating All-Star Games in tandem. gaining the title of champion. Next one, and yet another. Next one, and yet another. Next one, and yet another.

The three players in the league with the highest combined salary from a single franchise are Green, Curry, and Klay Thompson. Thus, the ties are quite strong.

Curry’s request to discuss Green’s most recent chapter of his career—which included hitting Jusuf Nurkić in the face, getting sent off for the third time this season, receiving an indefinite suspension, and making it known that he will be seeking counseling and has to mature and adapt—was therefore not surprising.

Curry was questioned about his longtime teammate on Thursday. Steph didn’t hesitate to express her agreement that Green’s antics from the previous year, which included hitting then-teammate Jordan Poole and choking Rudy Gobert, are unacceptable. However, he supported his teammate as one might anticipate, having faith in Green’s capacity to develop, mature, and return a better person.

When questioned about Green’s anticipated personal development, Curry responded, “I’m really confident in his ability to do that.” “And yesterday’s talks centered on him admitting that he is unable of performing the tasks he has been performing. He is aware of that. We are aware of that. Everyone is aware of that. I believe the search for the solution is in defining what it means to change. That seems to be the path we’re now taking. I believe that the situation has clearly altered from the previous suspension, or that more time has passed. You have to step back and ensure that everyone is treated fairly. Draymond has his own mountains to climb, and I have faith that he will overcome them, no matter how long it takes.

The advantage of an extended ban, as I discussed on Thursday, is that Green and the Warriors can concentrate on his reformation rather than having to endure a limited sentence before continuing where they left off. It appears that everyone agrees that, in the long run, Green needs to mature and experience a behavioral shift. And it appears that everyone is supporting that, including the opponents of the Warriors.
