Draymond receives flagrant 1, tech after striking Hornets' Salaun
Draymond receives flagrant 1, tech after striking Hornets' Salaun originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Warriors star Draymond Green was penalized for being too physical and animated during Monday night's 119-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center.
Green was issued a flagrant 1 foul and technical foul after physically boxing out and striking Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun during the third quarter following a missed three-point shot from Charlotte star LaMelo Ball. Green obviously wasn't happy with the officiating crew afterward.
A 13-year Golden State veteran, Green has committed his very fair share of blatant, overzealous infractions. This one, though, wasn't too bad. But you can be the judge.
Nevertheless, the play resulted in Green's 17th career flagrant foul and – get this – 162nd technical. That's a lot of overzealousness.
Green now unfavorably has reached two flagrant fouls in three consecutive campaigns. Green's technical, too, was his 12th of the 2024-25 NBA season and spoiled what was his lowest total since he collected 11 during the 2014-15 season.
Green was 25 then and is 35 now. While he might have gray hairs these days, Green remains the same, fierce competitor he was a decade ago.
Outside of Green's wacky foul, the veteran forward had a more-than-productive game. He finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds (four offensive), seven assists, two steals and as a game-high plus-20 over 28 minutes.

Three-Team NBA Trade Idea Gives Warriors' Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler Three New Teammates
Three-Team NBA Trade Idea Gives Warriors' Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler Three New Teammates originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Golden State Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs in five games. Advertisement Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring strain in Game 1 and missed the rest of the series. The Warriors, who won Game 1, lost four consecutive games without Curry. Golden State made a blockbuster trade in February, acquiring All-Star small forward Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat. Now, one NBA analyst has proposed that the Warriors make another big trade this offseason. Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report came up with the following trade idea involving the Warriors, Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Hornets: Bulls get: Jonathan Kuminga. Warriors get: Lonzo Ball, Jalen Smith, Josh Okogie, 2026 Portland Trail Blazers protected first-rounder (from Bulls), 2029 second-rounder (from Hornets), 2029 Denver Nuggets second-rounder (from Hornets), 2031 second-rounder (from Hornets), 2031 Phoenix Suns second-rounder (from Hornets). Advertisement Hornets get: Moses Moody, Jevon Carter. Kuminga becomes a restricted free agent this offseason. The small forward and the Warriors are expected to explore sign-and-trade scenarios once the 2025 NBA Finals end. This NBA trade idea gives Golden State Warriors stars Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler three new teammates. Troy Taormina-Imagn Images "The trade needs to wait until July 6, when Kuminga can sign a contract, starting at $30.4 million," Pincus wrote. "Charlotte uses its non-taxpayer mid-level exception to take in Carter, leaving a $7.3 million balance and triggering a first-apron hard cap. "The Bulls also gain a first-apron hard cap by taking in a player via sign-and-trade. The Warriors are hard-capped at the second apron by bringing back players for Kuminga in the sign-and-trade and using aggregation. The Trail Blazers' first is lottery-protected." Advertisement This trade idea would send Ball, Smith and Okogie to the Warriors, who have won four championships in the Curry-Draymond Green era. Ball averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the Bulls this season, Smith averaged 8.2 points and 5.6 rebounds for the Bulls, and Okogie averaged 7.1 points and 2.8 rebounds for the Phoenix Suns and Hornets.
