‘PART WAYS with Draymond Green!’ 😳 – Big Perk’s HOT TAKE on the Warriors | First Take
I need a big perk hot take for me what are your thoughts on this let me ask you a question you know if y’all was to hire a chef and every single time you ask this Chef that you tell them that I need a pot of right
Rice to go with whatever dish you’re trying to make and every time you go and open the lid you take off the lid it turn out to be grits okay it could happen the first time it could happen the second time but after the third time
What are you gonna do Molly what are you gonna do Jay will I’m probably gonna fire them and get a new Chef exactly yeah exactly my point EXA my point exactly and and why I say that is because it’s time for the Warriors to part ways with Draymond Green Mike dun
Ley Joe lob Steve cerr Steph Curry they’re gonna have to have that tough conversation in that in the off season because once a person show you who they are you have to believe him and like we said about a lot of old people they’re stuck in their ways where Draymond Green
Is a veteran and he’s stuck in his ways when you look at the Jordan pool incident we saw what happened with that Steph Curry and Steve cerry they tried to they had Draymond Green’s back okay let’s take it to this year what he did with nerkish just the suspension Steph
Curry had his back Steve Kerr had his back Draymond Green talked about him and Steve cerr crying you know Sharon in the moment okay all of a sudden you get here on the backto back on a night in a must-win situation with no Jonathan kaminga and Draymond Green gets ejected
Then we watch Steph Curry the emotions right look how emotional he was he’s exhausted the fan base of golden state is exhausted Steve cerr he’s exhausted and rightfully so Draymond Green is not going to change and do you wanted to be to the dispense of your franchise Mr
Golden State the Bay Area himself and Steph Curry absolutely not and it’s going to be a tough conversation a hard conversation but it’s time for the Golden State Warriors to uh cut ties when it comes down to Draymond Green per I agree with you I I wanted I wanted to
Address something very quickly that happened on the show yesterday and Steve Kerr the back endend of his comments not sure if they were directed towards me but I took it as it was so yesterday big perk I was getting text messages from people whose opinions I value within the
League that were starting to question Steph Curry’s leadership ability and ultimately the legacy of Steph Curry with the way things got put out there into the world people interpreted that I was saying that it ultimately was going to affect the legacy of Steph Curry when that’s not what I said I actually
Dispelled that later in the show can can I help out for one second here and I don’t want to interrupt your monologue so basically perk J’s not going to say it but a clip was taken and it was out of context they just took one section of
The clip it wasn’t it wasn’t his his full statement it wasn’t everything that Jay said and it was taken out of context essentially and then that’s where it went viral and everything went off and that wasn’t even his actual take so we put him in a poor situation I appreciate
That M I just wanted to clarify big perk you know sometimes in the med game that’s how things it happens to us as well just as it does to other people we’re all big boys so we we we come up on TV and we talk about it we address
The hard things right speaking of addressing hard things now let’s get back to this issue here thank you Molly I appreciate that well it happens I thought yesterday’s video by Draymond big perk was embarrassing it was dismissive his tonality was that of no Contrition I thought it was somebody who
Seems like he’s above the organization so to your point I think everybody is culpable there of enabling that and and I know that this is the same Draymond Green where his actions led to them winning championships and I get that but the reality is that his talent
Is no longer bigger than the problem they’re not winning championships big perk they’re fighting for a 10 seed right now and to your point point if you’re Mike Dunley you’re looking at this situation and you’re saying okay Draymond Green feels like he is Teflon that he is one Championship so nobody’s
Ego is more demonstrative in this organization than Draymond Green but he’s not going to change his ways and imagine being a player not locker room perk you imagine Draymond coming in the locker room but guys that’s my fault that’s going in my right ear that’s going out the left there’s nothing you
Can say Draymond that’s going to make me think that you actually mean it like we you got suspended indefinitely big perk indefinitely when has that ever happened in the history of the league indefinitely even understanding the relationship with Joe Dumars and Draymond which gives even more complexity to the issue because Joe
Loves him like a son they they suspended him indefinitely so now you want to say you know this is the exception not the rule no this is the rule for you Dre this is who you’ve always been so the talent is no longer bigger than the
Problem and Dre is the problem so I agree with you man it’s time for them to part ways when the season’s over you’re obviously going to fight for a play in tournament but Steph Curry 30 deserves way more than what Dre has giv him it’s only right that Joe lob and Mike Dunley
Do their job this off season and Surround him with the necessary pieces so they could get back to competing and also make sure that they uh taking taking taking mindset that they need to to protect his peace you need to protect his peace because what Steph Curry has
Meant not only to that organization but the NBA he doesn’t deserve this and to your to some of the people who was texting you Jay you need to block them right now block them they don’t need to text you no more okay they don’t need to
Text you no more that’s the second thing but back to Draymond it’s to the point now where you take a white board and you look at the pros and you look at look at the cons the cons are outweighing the pros and that is the deciding factor and
That should be the deciding factor when it comes to the Golden State Warriors this off season and we’re going to talk about this perk coming up but it does lead to a very interesting scenario with the Golden State Warriors with the way that Andrew Wiggins has played with Clay
Looking for a new contract what can you what value can you get in return for Draymond Green does Steph Curry want to be part of a rebuilding organization if that’s the direction that the Golden State Warriors go it just poses a really interesting question man perk this one
This one’s tough I come from a little bit more of an old school mentality on this I know this may not be like a gen Z thing um you I think both Steve cerr and Steph need to change their tone when it comes to talking about
Draymond the the the tone all the tone sounds exhausted which it is I understand that but I want to see Steve Kerr visibly angry about it like I know Steph under is angry internally but it feels as if Dre and I said this before perk feels that he’s Teflon that even in his
Apology it was a very laidback passive dismissive type of apology and it almost feels as if you’re waiting for Steve Kerr and Steph to publicly say yo that’s not okay I’m tired of it we’re all tired of it there are other issues that we need to address but even hearing him say for
Unforgivable it didn’t feel like that carried that type of energy perk you and I are boys man you would hold me accountable perk you would say tough things to me like I’ve had players that would say tough things to me Coach K would say tough things to me now this is
By no means questioning the coaching ability of Steve cerr at all but it does feel like it’s this well you know it is what it is type of mentality and I’m checked out and I I we understand that but it it just doesn’t feel like the
Tone for both Steve and Steph is where it needs to be with the weight this situation carries considering the history of how this has occurred just me perk on how I feel about it maybe it’s my personality that I feel like I would have maybe matched that energy publicly
Um but it it does feel like the tone needs to change cuz this is a similar tone we’ve been having for a while now and it’s not showing any effects you know you know why you know why because they won four championships together they built the dynasty okay and
What end up what end up happening is this Jay is that emotions come involved okay and it’s they have real love for Draymond Green and that’s okay but the problem is is that this is a business okay and you got to do what’s best for the organization and so now it’s time
For tough love so we watch you know Jared cross God Rest his soul take a lot of heat for ending the dynasty with the Chicago Bulls right but it was the bright business decision for the Chicago Bulls at some point they have to make the the business decision tough love has
To come in place and it has to happen this off season and I know it’s going to be an uncomfortable conversation it is because this is their brother right this is a guy that they’ve been in the trenches with we all get that but at some point they have to realize if they
Don’t if they haven’t already realized that it has that this has ran this course and again I’m going to repeat it is time for them to part ways with Draymond Green after this season is over with because he’s not going to change and perk this is where the conversation
Goes now it goes to I think we all have envisioned a world in which we don’t see 30 wear any other uniform for his career similar to Kobe facts I’m I’m still in that boat but it’s a really big decision for Steph because is he going to trust
Management to build a new franchise around him and can they do that what do you do with Andrew Wiggins what do you do with Klay Thompson and Bob Myers left at the right time that’s number one number two can anybody find LeBron James and Rich Paul because last time I
Checked those two guys are the guys that Draymond Green look up to are they going to play a part in this are they going to be a re are they going to be real big brothers and actually pull Draymond to de side and tell him he’s tripping right
Now tell him what he need to hear not what he want to hear because we all know how Draymond looks up to Braun so if a guy’s looking up to you and he consider you as a big brother and Rich Paul you you representing him as his agent
Because Draymond is under clutch are y’all going to step in and help save this man career and tell him to chill out because the narrative or the the picture that he’s painting right now I don’t know if any general manager around the league would actually trade for
Draymond at this point if I’m just keeping it real with you and it’s not because they don’t think that they could help that he could help his team win but it goes back to what your earlier Point what you said earlier in the show like is with Draymond package and everything
That he is bringing all the extra baggage does it actually outweigh his what he’s prod how he’s producing on the floor and the answer is no He
On First Take, Kendrick Perkins and Jay Williams join Molly Qerim to react to Steve Kerr calling Draymond Green’s ejection just four minutes into the game vs. the Orlando Magic “unforgivable.”

Never seen Steph react this way and that says so much about the state of GS. The time has come. Draymond has to go.
pathetic is ESPN, the same people who were doing segments going after Durant when he said he needed help. Time tells no lies folks, and the clips are all over to review their hypocrisy of celebrating every dirty thing he has done for over 8 years.
The same way they talking about Draymond they did rasheed Wallace the same way think about that
as a lakers fan, i wanted the Celtics (i know , i know) to win in the finals few years ago so that draymond wouldnt get his 4th. his EGO IS THROUGH THE ROOF
Condoning his bad behavior for years he's gotta go
It is only a matter of time until a player could really get injured by draymond stunts
Don’t switch up now people, don’t switch up on Draymond leaving the Warriors wherever Steph goes Draymond belongs! Because Draymond Green is not there to play basketball basketball, and Steph Curry doesn’t believe in leadership, accountability, Or even respect… I am a 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers fan so this is hard for me, but the Warriors could have another ring if it wasn’t for Draymond maybe even two if he can just stay in the game but he can’t because he’s not there to play basketball
Your NBA career is unforgivable lol
All that criticism the entire sports broadcasting community gave Steven A for commenting on Steph Curry and Steve Kerr’s leader ship, don’t switch up now
Draymond is Grtiz
They condoned it while they were winning and encouraged it when the chips were coming in. Nothing has changed about dray from then to now but they’re backing the bus on him now and that’s not cool
It definitely seems to be taking advantage of Steph and the warriors at this point. The time to trade him was unfortunstely the opprotunnity to trade him passed a couple years ago. Now, they’re in a position where they may not recover in time for Steph to do more.
The way Steph responded deserves all my respect!
The 2 clowns here have never won a championship but will push the narrative that Dreymond is the problem, warriors are trash at the moment other than Steph,Kuminga, Dreymond who are emotionally attached to the game the rest brings zero, Kerr plays Podz with 35 mins bringing 2 points, Oubre was once a warrior, Russell was a warrior, divichenzo was a warrior, now a depleted warriors and who are about to retire
Drey could be tanking the warriors so bron has a chance to make the playoffs.
Jwill putting his foot in his mouth
LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR SHIELD AND SAVIOR PROTECTOR FOR THE POWER THE GLORY AMEN HUMAN BEINGS
You can tell they all are scared of draymond green he doesn’t even listen to anyone
DRAYMOND GREEN IS OLD SCHOOL PISTON PLAYER!! PLAYING SOFT, NOT VOCAL EQUAL NO CHAMPIONSHIPS PERIOD!! TRADE DRAYMOND GREEN ,WARRIORS WILL BE GARBAGE, ONLY IQ, DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THAT LEVEL IS KEVIN LOVE!! PERK I ASK YOU NAME COLLEGE PLAYER GOOD AS DRAYMOND LEVEL? 😮 I GANRUATEED MIAMI HEAT PERFECT MATCH EQUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, THEN OH ,WHOM THE NEW POWER FOWARD PLAYING FOR WARRIORS GOT TO GET BETTER QUICKLY DEFENSE NOT GOOD BLAH BLAH ,CLIPPERS OR HEAT PERFECT MATCH!!! 😊
They will claim without Dreymond they lost games but Yes let's get rid of him, people are forgetting basketball is entertainment, whatever happens at the basketball court is pure entertainment,if people are not emotionally attached to teams the NBA will not make money
Kendrick A. Shape 😅
There not mad at jay saying he came up w the comment there mad at jay for even repeating it when he said he don’t agree w it anyway so don’t even repeat that toxic but people pick n choose when to play victim
I think a manger trade or move is coming needs to be. If not then warriors are in trouble
If I were Steph or Klay I would be looking to jump ship
It's all part of the plan from Lebron and Clutch sports to make sure Draymond their partner disturbs Curry from getting a 5th ring before Lebron get his 5th. It is the same Clutch Sports Media and Lebron that directed Draymond to go after Kevin Durant in 2018 having feared that he was in a position to get more rings than Lebron at that time after he went 8-1 against Lebron.
Draymond knows exactly what he is doing and that is preventing anyone who is a threat to Lebron and his legacy to not succeed. Did you not see his face after the game when he hugged Curry what his eyes were telling you. It is a man who knows what his priority is and has families and kids. He knows better but it was all part of the plan from the beginning of the year.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out even the commissioner Silver having his hands in there as all point to that they want Lebron to succeed with the number of free throws they generate compared to the rest of the league. Also, Warriors and Curry have benefited the league a lot and they profited for the last 10 years. It is the Lakers who are a more storied franchise with a player that was chosen to be the next MJ before he even stepped in the league. More has been invested into Lebron and brands centered around him longer than Curry and they would rather bank on him with his numbers and years he has played.
Even going back to Durant warriors' day, I believe that all was just part of a plan decided behind closed door with the owners and heads of the league and sponsors. As it was becoming impossible for the rest of the league to win against the Warriors. So, taking Durant off that team I also believe even Durant is also aware and everything else the ESPN tells are just part of it. If Durant didn't know definitely Draymond does with the way he is being set on TNT be representing the sports after he retires after all his dirty history.
The league uses guys who have been known to throw their weight around to speak on their behalf. Targeting current players when they get out of line and that's what guys like Shaq, Barkley and Perkins do. They will use their connections like who they played with and were friends with to keep being around even after they are known as dirty players. What Draymond does and getting a commercial every week even when he is suspended tells you the league and owners are in support as they have connections to most sponsors and media he is represented? on.
Look how on all-star TNT and its sister networks like TBS TRUTV was parading Draymond around after he came back from suspension. It was like he was the biggest star in the whole week. This is just doing PR from the league and its partners to sale Draymond as they know he will be around for years. He played with Curry, Durant and against and friends with Lebron. That is the kind of connection that will bring TNT viewers and they don't care who he assaults on the court. Shaq was going after Durant when he said Draymond needed help and ESPN too like Stephen A Smith went at Durant too. They don't care what he does and even if he puts someone in the hospital, they will come out with ohh he sought help and changed stories.
But what they fail to understand that today is different age with social media, and we don't have only them to view and when they keep parading and supporter such characters, we will lose respect and turn away from them. In the long run what they are investing in Draymond now will come back to bite their product. It's not the old days now folks. Well carry on Big Boy.
Jay Will better watch his back disrespecting draymond just put his life in danger
Drymouth Meme will paralyze a star or worse on live TV and act like the victim himself. He's an embarrassment and mentally unstable.
“Old people are stuck in their ways” realest statement I’ve ever heard
They should have parted ways 2 seasons ago
Get um out already. Sick of the bs w him.
Here we go….what Lebron got to do with Draymond's action….He plays for the Warriors
Send him to Washington 😂
Right now the warriors need draymond – the numbers speak for themselves. They need to find a way to address this over the summer. He is delusional now.
Perk is right. Nobody ever brings up Klutch and Bron in regards to Draymond.
Got a theory after hearing perk talking about lebron and rich paul. Next season draymond is going be a laker
This the owners fault
You making millions and acting a fool
