We ain't gonna pretend like Steph is the final say on Draymond getting fined or suspended or resigned. That's a goofy idea to suggest. Lacob wears the idea that he's the person in charge in that building and he tried his damnedest to make KD the face of the Warriors when he was here. I still don't think Steph liked that shyt. Steph saying we need to suspend Draymond doesn't mean he's going to get suspended. Bron in Cleveland is the only player in the modern era who could've been said to be the institution as a player.

It's wild you're holding Steph to a higher standard than coach, GM, entire front office, Owner, Michigan State, AND the NBA brain trust. All of them were letting Draymond run wild. How is Steph's word stopping them?
Who is the face of the franchise? Who gets the most credit for "building this thing out the mud and doing it the right way"? If Steph says something to Dray or to the FO they gonna disregard him? :comeon: Conversely, if Dray knows Steph got his back or aint gonna say shyt and the FO already aint doin shyt who gonna check him? Again whose team is it? Being the man is about more than dancing and posing and getting all the credit when shyt is going well.

Here comes the angry black man narrative. Dude is done. Gobert speaking out, Nurkic (both scrubs) talking about he might have mental health issues and internal problems.

Gaslighting ass shyt. Trying to further push him out the paint no pun.

Pussies need to write a book together

I see they're going all in on the sympathetic mental health, "we wanna get you the help you need" angle.

Rather than the, punitive "go sit yo ass down for 10 games and feel the pain of missing those checks" angle.

Is it soft, strategic, or something else? 🤔

Guess he'll be back in like 15-20 games
But the next violation and he might be out of the league for good and he won't be missed that much

mental health is the get out of jail free card for athletes when they mess up or don't play well. worked for Naomi Osaka, she should have lost her major endorsements after she quit tennis, but she played her hand right

Going soft. This bozo is a 33 year old vet with over a decade in the league and two children of his own. fukk help, he needs to grow up and be held accountable.

Ja Morant was 23 when he got suspended last year. Now, you can also say he needs to grow up and be held accountable, but the argument can still be made at that age that he needs help.

These two guys are at totally different points of their lives and careers.

Yeah with this "He needs to get help" angle they keep pushing I gotta agree with the old heads who be saying this generation soft:francis:

Draymond first "needed help" in about 2016 when he was going around straight kicking folks in the nuts:gucci:

Draymond is gonna be Draymond, he says it himself. No amount of "help" will change that.

Like you said they need to just keep it real and accept the NBA and Warriors have enabled Draymond for so long that's the reason he runs around like he's untouchable. They gotta eat the fact that they've coddled dude for this long so now they really should do like you said keep it real with dude and say he gotta sit.
