Draymond Green: Dear Diary, I’m sitting in my mancave having a conversation with my wife. Baffled at the fact that NBA free agency is over. Quite frankly it never really started. The level of anticipation leading up to July 1st were as exciting as the fireworks on the 4th. It was the excitement of the NBA Finals yet only a week after watching a team spray champagne and ride on floats. One can only point to the “New CBA” and the 2nd apron(hard cap) for absolutely putting an end to Free Agency

Draymond Green: Kinda beating a dead horse I suppose lol. And also before yall run and make this about JK, it isn’t. He’s 22 and will be great and make a bunch of money, so this ain’t got nothing to do with him. -via Threads / July 8, 2025
Draymond Green: As we once knew it. Sadly, I sit here and watch so many players overplay the market and not understand what they are up against with the new rules. Which leads me to trying to understand the unstaggering percentage of guys that has no idea of THE BUSINESS they are apart of. And I as a “VET” in this league watch players mismanage their careers and before they know it, look back like DAMN, where to next? I can go so far with this but I really don’t feel like typing it all right now. Because, -via Threads / July 8, 2025
Draymond Green: But regardless of where I decide to let these thoughts out, I should’ve been the Players association president lol. I could’ve helped a lot 🤷🏿
The league is great, it’s been great to all of us. Amazing partnership amongst players, staff, front office, ownership, and Fans that make the well oiled machine soar. And rightfully so, but it’s baffling to me how little players know about this business and how it affects them and ways most don’t understand. Funny thing is, I said this before the last CBA. -via Threads / July 8, 2025
