Along with that, Green also talked about how he actually recruited KD, back in 2016. The two were also heard talking about their infamous on-the-court spat in the 2018-19 season.
Draymond Green cites two reasons why he doesn’t want to be a coach
The first reason is a continuation of something Green said earlier. He feels that even though there is more talent in the league right now than there has ever been, the competitive spirit is very low. When asked if he would think about coaching after he hangs up his boots, Draymond said,
“I think about it, and I don’t think I will. One — the lack of competitiveness in players bothers me more than anything, and I don’t know how I would handle that as a coach.”

Along with that, Green also says he wants to get away from the basketball schedule. Green said,
“When I’m done playing basketball, I don’t know if I want to be on a basketball schedule. I’ve been on a basketball schedule my entire life.”
“A coach’s schedule — they’re in the gym as much as us, plus a bunch of films, plus this meeting [and] that meeting. Their schedule in some ways is more strenuous than ours.”
Draymond has said he wants to get into broadcasting when he hangs up his boots. Let’s see how things turn out when they do.
