Sources say Draymond Green dared Kevin Durant to leave the Golden State Warriors in free agency in 2019, which led to his suspension.
“We don’t need you. We won without you. Leave,” sources say Green said to Durant.
Durant can become a free agent in 2019 just before the Warriors move to san Francisco.
The Warriors desperately want to re-sign Durant.
Sources say there was a point in the argument when Durant cringed and that it went from basketball to personal.
Sources close to Green say he took exception to Durant’s criticism because he felt his desire to win was being questioned.
Rival teams and players are trying to gather more information on the morale of the Warriors.

They won without KD35 because Love and Kyrie were hurt. They lost the following year when their 73-9 record blew a 3-1 series lead in the finals. That's when they needed Durant, and thanks to Durant they bought themselves 2 straight championships. So yes, the Warriors NEED Durant to win lol what is Draymond smoking.
I don't buy the Love and Kyrie were injured thesis.
The way I see it as, after being the best team in the league for 7 months GSW entered the finals more ready than the opponent and they won 4:2.
Otherwise, you can make an argument that each season some other team should have won.
Like for example, Steph wasn't 100% the year after and they lost, or if Wade was healthier the 2nd time vs San Antonio the Heat would win. If Perk didn't get injured in G6 2010, Or if McHale didn't break his foot...
IMO, if you are the best team for 7 months and you win the finals, you deserve the title.
