"Free Steph Curry": LeBron James’ ex-teammate pleads Warriors star to find new home after Draymond Green's latest act
The Golden State Warriors suffered their sixth straight loss (119-116) on the road against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The championship window for Steph Curry is dimming after the team fell to a 10-13 record. With another suspension looming for Draymond Green, the Warriors are currently in a murky situation. Thus, former player and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins wants to see Curry join another team.
In the recent matchup against the Suns, Green threw a wild forearm to Jusuf Nurkic in the third quarter. The referees ruled a flagrant two on the four-time NBA All-Star, who was ejected for the third time this season.
The NBA has already warned Green for his on-court behavior and analysts can already see that he will get suspended again by the league.
While Steph Curry is arguably the Warrior's best player, he also needs Green to succeed in the league, as the former Michigan State Spartan has been a huge piece in all of the championships that he has won.
However, Kendrick Perkins has a different take on the Warriors' situation as he bats for the team to release Curry.
"Free Steph Curry!!! He don’t deserve this. Real Talk," Perkins wrote on X.
