Warriors' Internal Conflict: Draymond Green's Reconciliation Rebuffed by Durant

If a team isn't united, they definitely won't go far. The reason for the Warriors' poor performance this season is primarily due to internal discord. After Draymond Green punched the Warriors' rising star, Paschall, the atmosphere within the Warriors became particularly toxic. Even the Warriors' head coach admitted that this season's performance was severely affected by the locker room dynamics, and the media revealed more about the inner workings of the Warriors at that time.

Before the season started, a video of the veteran Warriors player, Draymond Green, punching the Warriors' newcomer, Paschall, shocked the NBA. The Warriors have always been known for having a harmonious team atmosphere, and this has been a significant factor in their multiple championship victories, partly due to their leader, Curry, who has a reputation as a nice guy. When Green threw that punch, the Warriors' chances of winning the championship that season were essentially halved.

Of course, the Warriors didn't just sit idly by. In a crucial playoff game against the Kings, Curry, in an unusual move before the game, rallied his teammates, acknowledging that some players in the team were unhappy with their situation. He urged everyone to put aside their differences and focus on playing as a collective during this time. Unfortunately, this motivational speech only helped the Warriors get past the Kings but led to their defeat in the next round against LeBron James-led Lakers.

Warriors' head coach, Steve Kerr, also acknowledged that the initial punch had a significant impact on the team's outlook, eroding trust among teammates. As one of the team's veterans, Draymond Green has always regretted his actions at that time. He has been trying to mend the relationship with Paschall ever since the punching incident, but Paschall has been unwilling to reconcile. This conflict persisted even after Paschall left the Warriors, and he even unfollowed Draymond on social media after his departure. Paschall has stated in interviews that they were just teammates, and it's all business.

You hit me, and I don't want to reconcile with you. It's not a big deal, right?

The phrase "Unity is strength" is a universal truth that applies everywhere in the world!

How can a team achieve excellent results if they are not harmonious? I believe they understand these principles.
