I dont get this take at all from Stephen A. Does he not understand team dynamics/locker room dynamics/the meaning of "veteran leadership"? Does he really think since Draymond punched poole, that Loon and Iguodala, who are leaders on the team and represent the Warrior's locker room (which means they represent the player's sentiments), shouldn't talk about something that happened in their organization? Does he really have an issue with Iguodala setting the record straight on the BS tweet that Chris Haynes put out last week?

"Poole got punched so only Poole can have an issue and speak about it." :dahell:


A veteran player and leader (not anymore) on the team punched an up and coming player. Ofc the actual leaders on the team are going to have something to say.

If Kuminga and/or Moody take the next step, than there's no use for Wiggins.

Draymond's value to the squad will remain the same until someone is ready to take over his role.
i've been meaning to ask you: what do you think of Kuminga's role on this team as of right now? Offensively, he doesnt seem to have a niche.

Haven't watched the clip yet, but once the footage leaked, it is no longer a " what happens in the locker room/ practice stays in-house" situation anymore.

Before beat writers for the team run wild with Peter Vescey level stories, best to get ahead of it as much as possible. The leak changed everything.
SAS and these sports talking heads are useless unless they are reporting updates and actual news........but they have to fill the time for all their shows.

If Poole didn’t want dray there Dray wouldn’t be there as you can see everyone is supportive of Poole so it’s obvious Poole signed off on dray returning to the team and not getting suspended

Poole aint got the juice for that...Steph Curry does......and he aint said one word remotely suggesting he aint want Draymond rhere

Poole gon shut the fukk up and get his money until Steph thinks otherwise

So the Warriors should punish the team by suspending a key player and risk losing games? Draymond was fined and took time away. This problem is caused by Draymond and not the team. The teams goal is to maximize their championship window while Curry is in the backend of his prime, they want the players on the floor.

Yes. That's call accountability. They suspended him for calling KD a bytch.

Its not about what Poole wants. Dray punched another person at the Warriors facility. You have to suspend him at least one game minimum.

Again the Warriors suspended him for calling KD a bytch.

The Warriors are allowing this to drag on. Suspend him one game and give him a fine. Move the hell on.

Looks like this turned out the same way as Steve Smith with Ken Lucas or Cam Newton with Josh Norman.

That’s called doubling down on stupidity, Poole ain’t KD, substantially fining him is the only thing that punishes him soley.
How much is "substantially"? 🤔

What is the max a team can fine a player? If it's $50k, that's not even one quarter of a game check.

Poole aint KD as far as skills but he is a great talent that was drafted by the Warriors. He's suppose to be next in line after Curry or Klay.

Star athletes get suspended all the time for bad behavior.

Didn't Bobby Portis get suspended by the Bulls for rocking his teammate jaw at practice.

Stop being a fanatic. Dray was hella outta line. They wasnt wrestling on the ground.

The Warriors front office fumbled the response.

I like Dray but he was flat out wrong.
