Draymond Green will be walking away from his appearances on NBA on TNT with a fine. On Sunday, the NBA announced the Golden State Warriors forward would be fined $50,000 for violating the league's anti-tampering rule for his comments regarding Devin Booker.
While sitting alongside Charles Barkley, Kenny "The Jet" Smith and Ernie Johnson on Friday, Green said the 23-year old All-Star guard needs to "get out" of Phoenix, calling the Suns "bad for his career."
Via NBA on TNT:
It's great to see Book playing well and Phoenix playing well, but get my man out of Phoenix. It's not good for him, it's not good for his career. Sorry, Chuck — They got to get Book out of Phoenix. I need my man to go somewhere he can play great basketball all the time and win because he's that type of player.
When Johnson asked if he was tampering, Green responded with a one-word answer — "maybe."

Despite his fine, Green provided a bevy of in-depth analysis during his time on the NBA on TNT. The Michigan State product spent time breaking down games in the Orlando Bubble along with discussing topics regarding his former teammate Kevin Durant and the race for the league's Most Valuable Player.

While Green's fine is making headlines, the Phoenix Suns moved their winning streak to five inside the Orlando Bubble with a victory against the Miami Heat. Booker dropped 35 points on 15-of-26 shooting from the field with six assists and three boards in the Sun's 119-112 win.
