Hold a grudge, Pierce: If Green is replaced by Martin, the Warriors can win 4 championships

Recently, Warriors player Draymond Green and retired NBA player Kenyon Martin had a verbal spat. Although Green has achieved good results in the NBA, including the best defensive player, championship, and best team, he has not been recognized by his senior Martin.

For this reason, Green also countered that with Martin's achievements in the NBA, he is not qualified to criticize him. And Martin also said that he can name 50 power forwards who are better than Green, without even mentioning himself.

Today, retired NBA player Paul Pierce also joined the discussion. Paul Pierce directly stated that if Draymond Green is replaced by Kenyon Martin, the Warriors can win 4 championships.

This is a typical what-if theory. The original discussion was of little significance, but if Pierce directly replaced Green with Martin, then the Warriors really would not be able to win 4 championships. Pierce's remarks not only support the older generation of players, but also contain personal emotions.

Although Pierce has a big mouth and thinks he is the best in the world, Green has bluntly said before that Pierce is not qualified to hold a retirement tour and he is not Kobe. And after all these years, Pierce is still fighting back.

So, if Green is replaced by Martin, can the Warriors win 4 championships? The answer is definitely no!

Green's first championship was in the 2014-2015 season. That season, Cole was the head coach of the Warriors. He started with Green and David Lee on the bench. He used a small lineup to give full play to Green's ability to defend and pass, and created a unique offensive system for the Warriors.

It can be said that Cole truly combined the functions of Curry, Thompson, Green, and Iguodala.

All four of them can play without the ball and are willing to run; the dealers are Green, Iguodala, and Curry; the shooters are Curry and Thompson, and Green and Iguodala are also considered to be passing standards. The individual singles players are Curry, Iguodala, and Thompson are also good.

This is the core of the Warriors' success. In the NBA at that time, Curry was irreplaceable. Although Green, Iguodala, and Thompson could be replaced by individual players, the results were definitely not as good as these three.

Green's movement speed, defensive awareness, and passing ability are not what Kenyon Martin has. Obviously, if the Warriors had Martin in the lineup at that time instead of Draymond Green, then the Warriors would not be able to play the tactics of the 2014-2015 season, and it would be difficult to win the championship at that time.

Without the first championship and a 73-9 defeat, the Warriors would not have been able to attract Durant to join, and there would be no subsequent two championships.

So, if Kenyon Martin is used to replace Draymond Green, the Warriors will not have a championship.

Of course, if Green is replaced by Martin starting in 2017, the Warriors still have hope of winning another championship. After all, at that time, the Warriors' offensive firepower with Curry, Thompson, and Durant was too powerful.

In fact, although Draymond Green has many "black spots", such as loud mouth, unclean playing, unstable shooting, and disrespect for Durant, there is no denying his contribution during the Warriors' championship.

This is also Pierce's traffic password. He attracts discussion and questioning by making controversial remarks, thereby gaining attention and traffic. Pierce also mentioned earlier that Kobe is not the face of the league, James cannot gain my approval, James has been the GOAT for a long time, James cannot be among the top ten in the league, Kobe relies on more shots to defeat opponents, etc.
