I’m sure this is why Bob Myers is leaving. He wants to go young, Kerr wants to play the old guys.
Best trade for warriors: Wiggins Poole and Kuminga to Raptors for Siakam and Anunoby. Picks thrown in where needed. Siakam gives warriors a big, more size, defense, someone who can guard players like AD much better, can shoot 3s, rebound, and do basically everything. Anunoby is a player that stepped up a lot with siakam out, will add a lot to the warriors roster. This trade makes warriors serious championship contenders again, Curry klay Anunoby green siakam starters
How did you not know as a coach playing the level of last season wasn't going to be enough? You spent the whole regular season developing Kuminga, just to play 0 minutes in the playoffs? And do the polar opposite with Moses Moody? C'mon man.
Dray relationship with Lebron to me compromises this Dynasty unless he gets Lebron at the bay.
Yup!!! Draymonds out of there! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you analyse the series against Lakers, Poole was really the difference. Both close games were won by Lakers and both Poole had a significant impact on. But Draymond was too soft on the Lakers
The dynasty isn’t over at all
Warriors still have a chance to trade Draymond and Poole for Ja Wick.
Draymond lost the Dawg in him he became Lebron's lap dog
Nick Nurse for Kerr? After all he was the most recent coach to defeat him in a finals.
Not saying this is going to happen but Ben Simmons with his mind right is a better version of Draymond. If you look at Draymond's strengths: defense, passing, and high iq, Ben Simmons is a just as good of a passer, a former all defensive player who can guard the best guards in the league, he's a way better ball handler, and because of his size and athleticism, he would be more lethal on fast break and he's a better finisher at the rim. The warriors system is perfect for Ben Simmons' skillset and their culture could rejuvenate his his mind and game
I disagree. Trade him and 2 1st round picks for Zion
Would be interesting if S. Balmer retires ‘the logo J. West’ and makes a play for GM B. Myers.
Draymon is the main guy they jeed to hold on to. (excluding Curry)
The rest are expendable imo
I LOVE DRAYMOND. HOPE HE STAYS. HE'S A STAR.
You can find someone else. The team is too comfortable
Say what you want about Draymond – the entire team's dynamic is built around shooting 3-pointers and for that plan to work, other teams need to be fearful of fouling. They need to know that if they foul Curry too hard, there will be a reckoning – Draymond is that guy – he's the team's enforcer, every NBA team has one, Draymond is just that guy for the warriors.
It’s this the same response from last year 😂
True or not, thats not something Draymond needs to hear right now.
Draymond got Tenure!
Poole is gone 😂
People would love to break up that core 3. Sorry ain’t gonna happen. Will be back forsure
The warriors need a mobile big man who can score and block shorts in the center. more Drag to small forward, looney the other forward, and get rude of Poole. Dante shown he has game. Play JK more
Draymond is overrated.
Dray needs to score tho he can’t be averaging 8 points great defender or not
Kerr just got Dray PAID!
The only way for the trust to be restored is green has to let poole punch him in the face on camera
They need another consistent scorer on the floor for their starting 5.
He wanted to be here, BUT NOT THE MAX!!!
So klay better take that pay cut
Immaculate 🧢
Poole and Kuminga traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo! Let’s make it happen!
It's time for Draymond to continue what he does, but add 15ppg. Enough with a no scoring Dray. Those days are gone. The league has gotten too good for him to be a literal non-scoring factor.
Imagine if Giannis join Warriors
Draymond is very important. Perhaps Poole deserved that punch afterall look at his performance, he is not in the class of the big 3. Respect
The big issue for the Warriors is that there is no consistent scoring option outside of curry. Even though curry is a future hall of famer, he cannot do this alone anymore. Elite teams like the lakers are able to key in on him, since they know everyone on the roster besides curry is inconsistent. Also, this team has significantly fallen off defensively, since they have no rim protection since draymond is not the defender he once was and looney, while he is a great rebounder, doesn't move laterally quick enough like Anthony Davis or Giannis. Also, he is not very explosive, so he doesn't really block a lot of shots. Perhaps trading klay thompson and jordan poole should be on the cards, since they both have regressed to the point where they were practically unplayable against the lakers. Klay had one good game, but the rest of the series he was basically a non factor as was jordan poole.
How much else was covered prior to the Draymond Punch. What do you want Kerr to say, no we don't need him back. But Kerr is too fearful (imo) to say he needs to go. Draymond's personallity has no place in professional sports. Your asking for kids to grow and say they can be an enforcer and take it to the next level. You do Draymond things when your a teenager at most then you grow up and become a professional. Draymond on paper is a professional and that is all.
