Well, earlier in the week, Draymond Green appeared on The Big Podcast with Shaq and said:
"It’s actually not set up for us to be wealthy after we’re done playing," Green said on NBA’s fines.
“The fines to me don’t make sense,” Green said. “When you talk about as hard as we work to accumulate wealth, coming from situations that most people never make it out, and then you get fined the way we get fined, it’s actually not set up for us to be wealthy after we’re done playing.
“This job is not set up, the way we’re taxed, the way we’re fined… if I do something wrong, I lose $100,000. It took my mom four years when I was growing up to make $100,000. And I lose that in a night because what? The referee got mad at me, and he didn’t like what I said to him. So I lose $5,000 like that? Like, on a tech?”
