Editor’s note: This story is part of the annual Mosaic Journalism Workshop for Bay Area high school students, a two-week intensive course in journalism. Students in the program report and photograph stories under the guidance of professional journalists.Draymond Green’s time with the Warriors is up. He was the heart and soul of this team, anchoring Golden State’s defense for years, but times have changed. His antics on and off the court have squandered the Warriors’ chances again and again. He has simply crossed the line.Don’t get me wrong, Green deserves immense love and credit for everything he has done for the Warriors during their dominant dynasty over the past decade. He was the engine that kept the team going, part of the Big Three along with Steph and Klay.However, he has hurt the Warriors’ chances to win on numerous occasions. Let’s start with the 2016 NBA Finals. After a record-setting 73-9 season and overcoming a 3-1 deficit in the Western Conference finals, the Warriors s...
