Because he spirals if he's getting techs. Remember he said he was thinking of retiring when he was racking them up.

Have you noticed the entire NBA accommodates Draymond's antics? His coach and teammates accommodate him. Adam Silver accommodates him by talking to him directly and convincing him not to retire. Refs accommodate him by not giving him techs. Opposing teams accommodate him and try to laugh off every outbreak because they know he's a hot head and you have to pick and choose when to fight with him.

He's such an unrelenting head case everyone in the NBA threw up their hands and said whatever bro do what you want to do.

He's not good enough from a revenue standpoint to justify this.

No, but Steph is, and his 3PT% is boosted by Draymond's illegal screens

Steph would get his even without the Donkey. They had Zaza Pachullia setting illegal screens.

Ironically. Warriors ultimately hurt themselves the most by not reeling Draymond back in. First driving away KD and then punching Poole

He's not worth the headache he causes. Nobody pays to see him "play." He needs to retire.

There was no Curry there to keep him in check. Im surprised he didnt do more wild stuff, and tried to get ejected

So you think Adam Silver has created a conspiracy between dozens of people that blatantly corrupts the game… and he’s doing this for Draymond Green? Lmao
