Drymond Green in a sharp attack on the league, the teams and the great hypocrisy: "It's bullshit, it makes me sick"

The Golden State forward came out with an aggressive speech on team and management policy: "When Harden asked for a trade, he was crucified. When a team seeks to release a player, it is allowed, and the player becomes cancerous. Then wonder about Kyrie Irving?"

Nervous, and understandable.

Raymond Green is fed up.

Maybe on the court he is beyond his peak, but outside he the basketball player's mouth is still sharp, when this morning (Tuesday) he came out with an aggressive speech about the hypocrisy and double standards of NBA teams.

Green spoke for over three minutes non-stop, criticizing the unfair treatment of the players.

He referred to reports that Cleveland had decided not to allow Andre Drummond to dress for her games until he was traded.

"I want to talk about something that's really bothering me," Green said after the Golden State's 98: 129 win over the Cubs, "and that's the league's attitude to the players. Seeing Andre Drummond before the game sitting on the sidelines, in civilian clothes, Bullshit!

"Because when James Harden asked for a trade, and actually forced it, and no one denies it - he was crucified for wanting another team, everyone destroyed that man. But a team can come and say - 'Oh, we want to transfer this player. "And that's it, and then the player has to sit on the sidelines, and if he doesn't stay a professional, then he's cancer. And he's not wanted in the locker room, and he's the problem."

Green seemed to be talking to Drummond before the game, and it was unclear if he had complained to him, but Green was just furious.

"And so we've seen situations where Harrison Barnes is thrown off the bench, or Demarcus Cousins ​​announces in a live interview that he's working in a trade," Green says, "and we keep letting it happen. I get fined for saying what I think should happen to a player, but teams Can they do what they want - and we are the ones who need to remain professionals? "

Green was previously fined $ 50,000 for saying that Devin Booker felt he should leave Phoenix.

"At some point, we have to start treating us with respect as players," Green said. "We need the same rights as teams. Because as a player, if you want to change the situation, you're the worst man in the world. A team could free you. And you still have to stay fit. The league must protect players from this embarrassment.

"Anthony Davis was fined $ 100,000 in my opinion after declaring he wanted to leave the trade, but a team can say it wants to release Drummond in the trade, and he just has to. To accept it?

And if Kyrie Irving announces that ‘oh, my mental state is loose’, suddenly everyone is going crazy over him.

You do not think that such things affect an actor mentally?

"When players tell us 'you can't talk like that, you can't say that'. But teams can? In fact everyone wants to say, 'Leave, this young guy doesn't understand the matter.' But no one says the teams don't understand. You have to respect. To us, it's ridiculous, and it makes me sick to see it. "
