"My only words of wisdom are when he’s analyzing the Warriors, not to bash his coach": Steve Kerr and NBA Twitter react to Draymond Green signing a multi-year deal with Turner Sports

Three-time NBA champion and Warriors veteran Draymond Green signs a first-of-a-kind multi-year deal with Turner Sports.

It’s no secret that Draymond Green has a high basketball IQ. The 6″6′ tweener is one of the best pick and roll partners in the league, ask Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Green is not one to mince his words and has even got into a lot of trouble for it. Whether it is the officials, opposition, or teammates, Green never shies away from picking a fight.

One of the biggest reasons for Kevin Durant departing from the Bay Area was his public altercation with Green, something KD had admitted played a role in his exit. However, it is this brutal honesty that makes for great television, Charles Barkley being the finest example of this.

Green’s latest deal with Turner Sports is the first-of-a-kind deal for a current player. In the past, the former DPOY has appeared as a guest on the show Inside the NBA, receiving a positive response from the audience. Green looked in complete sync with the panel boasting Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal.

Green released the following statement after the public announcement of his deal with Turner Sports.

“I’ve had an amazing experience working with Turner Sports in recent years and I’m a big believer in the way they entertain and genuinely connect with fans on all levels,” said Green in a statement. “Today’s announcement helps to formalize our relationship, and I couldn’t be prouder to officially be a part of the TNT family.”

One of the most interesting reactions came from Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who had the following to say on learning about Green embarking on a new journey.

“My only words of wisdom are when he’s analyzing the Warriors, not to bash his coach,” Kerr joked with reporters Thursday. “I’m very confident that he’ll be able to divide his duties up well and not lose anything on the court.”
