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

[Don Homer]

If y'all win a ring this year with the roster as presently constructed; will you truly care about this incident to this degree?

Prolly

 

[Red Money]

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.

That's what people not understanding. Dray was bumping/leaning/nudging/walking him down like he was arguing with his wife or kids. Dray was doing that thug on the street bait when they bump you so you react physically and they claim they shot you in self defense.


Jordan and kerr was physicality of the practice/live scrimmage boiling over cause everyone on edge thinking they getting cheated.

I keep seeing this narrative so imma just use your post to address it.

Context matters. They are TEAMMATES at a basketball practice. I’ve played basketball my whole life. Things have gotten heated. I’ve seen shoving but I’ve never seen someone get slept at practice. So Draymond escalated it beyond a point that NOBODY, especially not Poole was expecting. You can tell by the others players’ body language that nobody is expecting a punch. It’s a very rare occurrence.

IF someone was to get punched in that scenario there’s usually a verbal warning followed by someone putting their hands up. Now it Poole shoved Dray after that it’s fair game. But Dray snuck him. It is what it is. It was dumb af and Dray gonna have to live with the fallout until this calms down.

Dray should’ve pushed him back then squared up. Then teammates would’ve jumped in and this would’ve all been averted.

Dray already escalated by chest bumping him. You're exactly right which is why JP shoved him. He should be suspended a good bit for that.

Like he just suddenly decided this season he's gonna commit basketball espionage to sacrifice his own damn team?

Oh no Draymond would never do anything to harm his team or the chemistry of the team.

Occam's razor:

The person or persons involved in leaking the footage to TMZ, are also responsible for leaking what was said between Draymond and Poole to TMZ.

breh I started laughing so hard I had a coughing fit

Same. That shyt had me

[ORDER_66]

his mouth is always open...

 

[jaguar paw]

Damn TMZ paid 2.6 million for that footage

If that’s true it makes sense. The person leaking it would need to be compensated long enough to match what they would of made for potentially the rest of their working career plus potential incoming lawsuits.

They should of asked for more imo.

What could he possibly gain from leaking this to TMZ? How does this put himself in a better position? What Poole allegedly said/did is hardly damning.

Draymond's indiscretions are almost entirely because of him being impulsive (like this punch for instance). There's no evidence to suggest he's the type of person to go through the dark channels of TMZ; the risks of getting caught outweigh whatever benefits there are. Not even Haynes had this information of what went down, but we're supposed to believe Draymond went running to TMZ with ti?

Y'all are letting y'all hatred of him fukk with your common sense.

As I said above, you don't think it's more likely the person(s) who sent the video to TMZ couldn't also be the one who shared the information?

 

[KFBF]

The point is: they've gone through similar shyt in the past and come out the other side as winners.

This is similar in the way that a sprain and a break is the same.

Andre stood up for Jordan via tweet, then backed Dray as well via another tweet, so he's riding the political fence.

Shocking. King smart-dumb talked without saying shyt.

Poole really got that annoying lil bro vibe the contract situations of Dray, Poole and Wiggins are clearly causing turmoil within the team. Gon be interesting to see how it get sorted


That some spicy shyt to say to Dray about contracts lmaoooo you know what it is Dray

So, Myers was full of shyt when he said, “ask the players contracts had nothing to do with it” shocking

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

Lol @ this isn't the Draymond we know. fukk outta here. This is exactly who everyone knows him to be

@Regular_P

You still think Draymond is the source, leaking a detailed account of what happened (even days before the incident)?

Draymond clutch someone from his camp

 

[Rekkapryde]

Damn TMZ paid 2.6 million for that footage

Callin cap

 

[Pressure]

why do some of yal think guys are getting slumped on a regular basis at practice dust ups are one thing, dray lined this dude up explicitly to knock him out

he fukked up everyone's money with this one. of course poole didn't expect that shyt. what kind of fukking idiot hits their own pockets in a contract year, someone else's in a contract year, and the team's as defending champs?

dray dumb as shyt. new media can't reel in the ego

The problem y’all are acting like everything that led up to the punch happens regularly in practice and is perfectly fine. It doesn’t and it isn’t.

If we want to clutch our pearls and talk about this I’d a business and people should act professional then let’s do that and be consistent.

The rest of the back and forth going on seems to be centered around the false idea that this was a sucker punch which is permeated on the goofy idea that it’s only a sucker punch because they were at work, not because it was an actual sucker punch.

 

[Pressure]

Poole was in the right.

Draymond got in his space.

This ain't the streets, they at fukking work.
He didn't expect his own teammate to throw hands

You can’t push people at work breh. What kind of jobs y’all got?

The person or persons involved in leaking the footage to TMZ, are also responsible for leaking what was said between Draymond and Poole.

More Occam's Razor:

The motive for the attack was money. Since Draymond nickname is "money green", he really values money. Dubs management let Dray know he was going to have to earn his extension on the court this year. While young "cocky" Poole will (potentially) get a bigger bag than him first.
