Blazers mock Draymond Green by displaying $2.4 million fine disparity between Warriors star and current roster

Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets
Blazers mock Draymond Green by displaying $2.4 million fine disparity

Draymond Green, who was suspended indefinitely by the NBA last week, won’t play for the Golden State Warriors against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. But he’s not out of Portland’s mind, as the Blazers trolled him by targeting his lengthy history of fines.

The Trail Blazers video board showed Green’s apparent total for technical fouls, ejections and fines, and compared it to their entire roster. According to the board, Portland had received $2.4 million less in fines, while its roster had committed 120 fewer technical fouls and had 19 fewer ejections.

It's possible that the move could backfire on Portland (6-18), which is on a six-game losing streak, if Golden State (11-14) uses it for motivation.

Why did the NBA suspend Draymond Green?

Draymond Green hit Jusuf Nurkic in the face when the Golden State Warriors played the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.

Joe Dumars, the NBA's executive vice president and head of basketball operations, suspended Green indefinitely. The outcome considered Green's past instances of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Before striking Nurkic, Green found himself in another sticky situation when he put Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert in a chokehold earlier this season. While Green claimed it to be his way of defending Klay Thompson, many believe that there was some ill intent behind his actions, which went beyond protecting his teammate.

While many Warriors fans are worried that they won't see Draymond Green for a while, according to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Green might be back with the team by Jan. 1.
