The latest update on the conflict between Green and Kerr is here! The Warriors will not impose any punishment! Both have apologized to each other.

“I wasn’t calm enough, I apologized to him, and he apologized to me as well.”

“Although such disagreements and conflicts haven’t happened for several years, this is not the first time in our 12 years working together.”

Kerr’s latest response.

During a timeout in the third quarter against the Magic, Green and Kerr clashed intensely over the team’s loss of concentration.

Footage showed both men visibly upset, and then Green got up and went straight to the locker room, not returning to the game.

After the game, media revealed the conversation that took place:

Draymond: “F*** that!”

Kerr: “If you don’t want me to talk to you, then just go back!”

Draymond: [expletive] !

Kerr: “Draymond, how do you want me to coach you?”

When Green left the court, the Warriors were only leading by 4 points, but after he exited, the team went on a 41-18 run and eventually won decisively, 120-97.

Sacrificing the individual for the greater good... well, that works too!

The Warriors will not impose any internal disciplinary actions.

However, many fans have been asking in the comments, “What does Steph think about this?” or “Will the Warriors trade Green?” and similar questions.

My answer is: As long as it stays within professional boundaries, such disputes are indeed part of basketball culture.

Kerr has publicly admitted that every team experiences 2-3 intense conflicts each year.

Not just verbal exchanges—physical altercations are also quite normal.

Thirty years ago, Jordan and Kerr actually fought.

During a Bulls practice, to motivate his teammates, Jordan threw almost every curse word at Kerr, and his actions became increasingly extreme.

Kerr tolerated it at first, but eventually pushed Jordan back, which made Jordan angry enough to punch Kerr face-to-face.

They say no fight, no friendship; this conflict actually became the foundation of their trust, leading to later iconic game-winning shots.

This is the raw reality of basketball—when kept professional, conflicts act as catalysts for team growth rather than cracks.

Behind the scenes in locker rooms, whether in the CBA or NBA, these things are very common. I don’t understand why Warriors fans are making such a big deal out of it...

Maybe it’s because the main figure is Draymond Green.

This player has indeed caused quite a few “incidents.”

From punching Poole to repeated “harmful” actions on the court, he often doesn’t win much favor.

But one undeniable fact is that he is the core of the Warriors’ dynasty, the “heart” of the team.

Without this guy who is willing to set high-quality screens, can guard positions one through five, constantly trash-talks, and directs one of the most complex offensive systems in league history, the team probably wouldn’t have achieved all this.

From another perspective, Green is also extremely grateful to Kerr.

Without Kerr’s promotion and trust, the second-round pick Draymond wouldn’t have reached his current achievements.

These two definitely complement and elevate each other.

As of now, there is no issue between Green and Kerr, nor with the Warriors organization.

On the contrary, I think Green handled the dispute well—he went to the locker room to calm down, then came back.

Given the situation, there was no need for him to return to the game immediately; with that kind of emotion, performance would suffer.

Finally, regarding fan complaints about Green’s performance this season, here are a few points from me.

1. At 35 years old and 1.98 meters tall, playing as a shorter interior defender against big centers for so many years is already impressive.

2. Green’s defense remains irreplaceable for the Warriors.

3. His offensive role as a space-creating “black hole” has diminished, which is also largely due to the Warriors’ roster configuration.

Mainly because Butler’s scoring is also generally average...

Looking at facts, blaming Green alone for the Warriors’ recent 7 losses in 10 games is unfair.

The team’s urgent priority is not trading Green, but managing Kuminga properly...
