Draymond Green blamed himself for what happened to the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals, but he certainly made the best of a bad situation.
Green remarked after the Warriors won the NBA Title Monday night that perhaps last year needed to happen — and it came with one notable consolation prize.
"We had a letdown last year. I had a letdown last year. But if Kevin Durant is the consolation prize… I'm ready to go pop champagne" Dray

Green was vital to the Warriors’ recruitment of Durant — though it has been overblown in certain aspects — and this outcome is clearly a bit of vindication for him as well. He’s right, though — if the Warriors win in 2016, there is likely no Durant for 2017.
