I had no idea Ray Ratto was still around
Send him to Detroit!! Or the Pacers!!
And now add this caveat… Jordan Poole has parents who are really important in this kids life he's 23…. look at Tua… different scenario yes… but when we all saw on tv and now you can put an act to a face… his parents were there when he got concussed… Poole's parents now have a video of their son getting assaulted… their not letting this go . .. since we're all witnesses to this Green won't live it down… think about what would happen if a media crew gets to his parents and they demand Adam Silver and the Warriors do something about Green… he's cooked.
Totally disagree! It will be Lebron 2.0!!!
Let’s have a vote 🗳 see who on that team is for Draymond and who’s for Poole. Stand on that!
Draymond has been cuddled and enabled by the Warriors all these years because of his defensive contributions. Well, his skills have diminished quite a bit so there's really no need to keep him around anymore. If the Warriors are indeed light years ahead, they will trade him and be done with his toxicity. Btw, asking Steph is the wrong tact to take, had they ask Steph about Mark Jackson, he'd still be here.
But the problem is after this , which team would want Green ?
Draymond must learn how to manage his anger.
stack or Matt Barnes leakef
How many rings is draymond gonna cost the warriors
It's sad when wealthy men who have children act like they're in prison or a gang. Men who use violence to solve problems belong in a cage with the other dummies.
This dood acting like he been the game for a long time and references Bobby portis/ and nikoli.
I just thought of something that made me laugh! Draymond is going to play his ass off to try and make up! It sucks. I think Dray should go but it could work in their favor…
But he's the "heart and soul" the warriors "don't win any of their 4 rings w/o him" he's the "best defensive player, and the facilitator"
That triple single gotta piss off now. Enough is enough.
Suspension for sure. How long, perhaps ten games, without pay, and completing anger management counseling, and not returning until cleared by a psychiatrist!
Get rid of him. If we can win without KD, we can win without Draymond. That was not a practice squabble. That was assault and the fact that it was almost swept under the rug shows how sick they are in their excuse making for Draymond.
he DID NOT just cold cock him! he walk to him talking trash, and Poole shoved in HARD and then he got socked as he should have! a shive like that mean you ready to fight! I guess it would have been okay for Poole to punch him while his hands were down for talking in his face like every ball player do on the court?! yall crazy!
I dont think people truly understand the value draymind brings. He orchestrates the offense and does everything on defense. His value comes from his understanding of the game, not from his athleticism like poole is. Poole is another guy in the league who can only play offense and is an absolute defensive liability. I'm keeping draymond over poole for the next years cause draymond know how to teach and develop players with the coaching staff
So Commit To LOOSE then ! Y'all are pathetic.
Ok being I've heard a few takes on this situation I started to ask myself. What was said by Poole during the back and forth to set the veteran off to make him run up? He was made to apologize I believe (Draymond). It's a known fact these youngins can get a little to mouthy and cocky and might need that wake up shake up. ijs🤷🏿♀️ I definitely don't think it had anything to do with money. Draymond was on point about K.D. There's absolutely no one on this team that bring what he bring to the table. I don't condone what he did but sht happens in team sports for sure!! You fight and argue get it off your chest dap up at the end keep it pushin. And all teammates ain't hunky dory with each other!! At the end of the day in professional sports….It's supposed to be business not personal.
LISTEN DUDE…WHERE U FROM?…CUZ any one that try and put u to sleep AND DROP U LIKE …POOLE NOT EVER GON LIKE DRAYMOND….POOLE bout to have MEMES and all out…POEPLE con make POOLE look like a weak man
What's worse Ime Udoka's consensual relationship and yr suspension or Draymond Green cold cocking Jordan Poole on a viral video?
yup, in the final draymond is useless when celtic not double or triple mark curry. draymond just need to take pay cut to be available in nba. if he go to another team, he will be like russel westbrook in lakers
Stop Condoning Draymond's violent actions. Ban him from playing>>.
If they extend draymond , they'll be responsible for poole leaving . I honestly believe that that's probably Drays last season with the team tho . He's more than a bad teammate/leader . He's a 33 yo man-child .
