After the game, Green told the media he would be willing to meet Thompson “in the streets any day”.
I can’t meet him outside of (the arena), because I’ll still get fined,”. “But I can meet him in the streets any day. So you can say (that) somebody (should) meet you at the bus, (but) I’m not (going). I’m going to keep taking care of my family. I’m not going to meet you at the bus.”
After the series was over, Green continued to chastise Thompson by refusing to shake hands with him after game 4 and by calling him soft during the Warriors championship parade.
"A lot of guys in this league is soft…I told one of them dudes from the Cavs after the game, he tried to shake my hand, I said, 'Tristan, we ain't cut the same.'" – Draymond Green.

According to Bossip, Thompson took Green up on his offer and punched him in the face at an LA nightclub after the ESPYS a few weeks ago.

The players got into a big fight earlier this month inside LA nightspot Delilah, multiple sources told BOSSIP. Both ballers were in the nightclub for a private party after the ESPY Awards July 18th, and we’re told that Thompson – dad of baby girl True with Khloe Kardashian – socked Green with a two-piece, getting the better of the NBA Champion.
And it was none other than their fellow teammates LeBron James and Kevin Durant then quickly stepped in to break up the fracas, we’re told. James apparently had enough and left the party shortly after the alleged incident.
Update Jason McIntyre of FS1/ the Big Lead reveals what he heard about the fight between Draymond and TT.

Seems like there’s still going to be a bit of bad blood between the Cavs and Warriors next season even after LeBron decided to go out west.
