Draymond Green Agrees With Cade Cunningham on Isaiah Stewart Trade: "They Traded His Muscle Away"

He said, that's somebody I planned on playing my whole career with. For him not to be around, it is weird. It feels like I'm a rookie again, like I'm stepping into something new. Let me interpret this for you. Isaiah Stewart is the muscle, was the muscle. You couldn't talk to Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart will come take you out. That was his muscle. The Detroit Pistons traded that away. So he gonna have to fight some battles that he wouldn't have had to fight. He gonna have to redefine his physicality. Now listen, nobody's bullying Cade Cunningham. Cade gonna always play with the physicality Physicality, but it matters when you got a guy like Isaiah Stewart next to you. So when he say, "I feel like a rookie again," he know I gotta find that guy all over again. When you see a franchise player like K Cunningham and they lose their muscle like that, that's not always good. They replace him with John Collins. I'm here to tell you, John Collins ain't doing that. No disrespect to John Collins at all. He ain't Isaiah Stewart. That is what Isaiah Stewart is here for. More people gonna try that team, try their guys due to Stewie not being there. So I really get what K Cunningham is saying. But this is also what happens when you don't win.
