So if we're drawing comparisons between that and this, I don't care in either instance.

Second of all, Draymond has always shown a desire to be involved in front office things. Hell, he did scouting for the draft and he was in the team's war room draft night. He's a student of the game and knows more about a lot of players coming up than a lot of guys in the league.

Third of all, he's trying to win long term. So if the team is trying to sign Cousins, and they ask him to make a call and encourage him to sign, why wouldn't he? Other players do it all the time.

Smart players don't want to stand pat. They want their teams to always be the best that they can be.
