Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole: He apologized and will step away from the team a few day's

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

And that’s why you downplayed that shyt, which we all knew. Just own up to it.

What the fukk are you even talking about?

I told you dumbass nxggas from the start what the deal was. When all y'all were thinking/hoping this was the end for him, I specifically said until they develop or find someone to replace him, his value on this squad will remain the same. At the end of the day, this organization prioritizes winning over everything, so why would they just throw him into the bushes when he's that integral to their success?

Own up to it?

I've been saying it, you clown ass mf.

Y'all were in here arguing with your emotions, and I was arguing purely on logic/reasoning that was grounded in reality. It's not up to me to judge the severity of it, because my opinion on it (and everyone else's) is irrelevant. This doesn't affect anyone outside of the organization, so it's only up for them to judge and rule on. Nobody else.

Are you going to own up to you clutching your pearls only because it was Dray?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

@No1 these were my immediate posts following the leak:

You know better than this.

Draymond will be reprimanded, but to think that the Warriors are in a position where they'll cut ties with him altogether isn't going to happen.

Of course, it's only going to complicate the situation, but Draymond is Draymond. They won't hang him out to dry with all the success he's brought this franchise, and the relationships he's built within the organization. Who is Poole? He hasn't proven or done a damn thing for this franchise. It'd be different if Draymond laid out Steph or Klay, but we all know that an altercation like that would never happen between the OGs.

The truth is, the Warriors are not going to be able to keep all the players that are now on the team, and whoever is sacrificed would've been sacrificed regardless of this incident.

My fondness for him?

I'm just stating the reality of the situation.

Notice how I never said that the Warriors would choose Draymond over Poole, but I don't think this squabble is going to make the Warriors switch up whatever plan they have for the future. If they intend to keep Draymond, they will still; if they intend to keep Poole, they will still. The is more a PR nightmare than anything else.

The Warriors have built something special, historically, and still are, they're not going to be short-sighted by upsetting their process over this incident.

You wanna tell me what I'm supposed to be owning up to when I've been telling y'all since the beginning when all y'all were coming with the fake outrage?



I was 100% right from the start, and I will continue to be. Gon' head and pick up your pearls before they all roll down the street.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Here's something interesting to anyone doubting Dray's impact throughout his career:

#3 all-time in plus-minus total in NBA playoffs, and look at the amount of games he's done it in (he should surpass Duncan after this postseason).
#1 all-time in plus-minus per game in the playoffs (Steph is ranked #2).

I didn’t read none of this shyt. I saw you were in your feelings first sentence. You’re emotional . Let me know when you’re out of your feelings and keep it to two sentences max.

@Squirrel from Meteor Man

You'll never be able to get some get-back when this is what clutching your pearls really looks like:

Please trade this idiot. He’s going to want max money next season despite being absolutely useless on offense and barely useful on defense. This tough guy act is tired. Kick this fool out the Poole party

That is much worse than I imagined. Foul behavior by Draymond and I’m glad Bob Myers is now exposed for having no backbone.

You don’t poo-poo a straight up sucker punch like that on a kid who’s been nothing but professional according to all sources. Trade that clown immediately.

Whoever leaked this video wants him gone. Draymond/Klutch had no idea this was coming. He’s long overstayed his welcome. You can’t come back from this in today’s era.

His production isn’t nearly good enough to justify keeping this elephant in the room.

How many sucker punches have you seen on video from an NBA game or practice? Not many. Tell me what happened to the guys who threw the punch after. Chris Childs, Kermit Washington come to mind. Carmelo got suspended some games but he was a superstar at the time.

The only armor Draymond has is Steph Curry likes him, but I don’t think that’s enough at that point.

For all of those “this isn’t a big deal, it happens all the time” guys

From insider Marcus Thompson:


Most of the players only saw the aftermath in real time. They were just as surprised as most people when they saw the way Draymond swung off. There’s a legitimate issue here.

This wasn’t a fight after a hard foul, it was Draymond being in his feelings after getting torched and barked on by someone about to make $120 million while he’s in the wind.

You can fool the rest of the board, so long as you know that I know what's going on.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It's not my place to defend anyone in this situation, nor does my defense for Draymond or anyone have any relevance to what will likely happen. The Warriors will deal with this as they see fit, both parties will move on, they'll both play this season (on the same team), and everyone will forget about this in 1-2 months.

Many thought the Warriors couldn't get past that, and they did, where only injuries stopped them from winning that season. Whatever happens this season, the Warriors' championship hopes are not going to be decided by this. I said earlier in the thread, but in 1-2 months time, this will be forgotten, and there'll be some other fukkery that occupies our minds.

You've spoken in a tense all throughout this thread as if Draymond's time was over. I even told you specifically to stop being a drama queen and that this would be forgotten in 1-2 months time, and yet you tried to argue differently. Stop acting like you didn't want him to be gone, and then tried to speak it into existence in this thread.

You've been doing this shyt for the better part of the last decade.

You thought this was the time, but got the door shut in the face of your narrative, once again.

*two months later*

What the fukk did I tell y'all? When all y'all were up in here clutching y'all pearls thinking it was over for Dray. Y'all nxggas ain't never gonna learn.

He's been ballin' and having one of the best starts to a season of his career, and the Warriors are back on track going 8-2* ever since they kicked Wiseman to the curb.

i would say those numbers are skewed, i love dray but hes nowhere near the top without steph and klay

Well, I mean, plus/minus is inherently about the lineups you're in, but that's just to illustrate how important Dray has been to the success of this franchise. And it's more about the partnership of Steph-Dray than it is about Klay (who's great in his own right, but doesn't affect the game like the other two).

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It is over. No matter how try to spin it, Draymond is finished. You’re celebrating a man who sucker punched a teammate, shook his ass at a concert the next day, displayed a persecution complex after that, and is about to put up career low numbers AGAIN once the season starts.

Draymond is no longer a good basketball player. He’s average on defense and below average on offense. He’s one the worst teammates in the league.

Another L for you. They just keep on coming. You're taking more Ls than @Regular_P does against @smitty22.

I told you two days ago you’d be tagging me after the Warriors beat up on another average/bad team at home. The Warriors and your posting schtick are predictable

I don't think I've seen anyone be as wrong as many times about a player as you have with Draymond. You've moved the goalposts about 1000x and been wrong every single time.

I bet your dumbass still thinks he's gonna be traded this season.

Draymond out here ballin'. Wiseman out here in the G-League.

Technically speaking it could be that a player spent the most time in a dominant lineup, even if you are the weakest link
