Draymond Green Did It Again…

Draymond Green Did It Again…

A lot has happened since we last covered the Golden State Warriors which if you missed I highly recommend you check out our previous video on it because there’s been a lot going on with this team and it revolves around each and every player whether you’re one of the members of

Take a moment to appreciate the greatness of former Warriors general manager Bob Myers I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man make the most out of a situation and then exit the situation at the right time and historically Bob Meers told us why he left the Golden State Warriors the main reason being

Because he knew the end was coming near and he even said it to Adrien wowski what is the path forward for Klay Thompson in Golden State well this is why I left first of all um look a lot of times people will say it’s just business but this is not a

Just business situation this guy um there’s going to be a statue of this player outside of Chase Center he was instrumental in bringing four championships he’s beloved um inside the organization the fan base so it’s not so simple as it’s money and years this

Is this is this is why it was hard for me you get relationships with these people especially if you’ve succeeded with them and and that core has been together for 12 years and that’s just so rare now that just doesn’t happen and so this is a delicate negotiation from what

I know and see he wants to stay they want him to stay doesn’t mean it’ll happen but it is a test it’s certainly a test the craziest part about this is Bob Meyers officially announced his next venture he is joining the Washington commanders football team as some sort of

Consultant all we know is that he was hired by the Washington commanders I have more on that on my video on microphone today make sure you check it out I’ll put it in the end screen but that should really tell you all you need to know about the state of the Golden

State Warriors Bob Meers knew that the end was near and that things were about to get very difficult at the time he stepped down Draymond Green’s contract was expiring and he was threatening to leave the team but this year Klay Thompson’s contract is expiring and the way he’s playing doesn’t necessarily

Show that he’s worth a Max contract no matter how legendary of a figure he is throughout the entire season it’s been incredible to watch what’s been going on with this roster from the trading of Jordan P for Chris Paul after Mike Dunley Jr said that he was going to

Build around Jordan pool especially with his contract extension uh plan to have him here for four more years at least and to Klay Thompson quite literally admitting that he’s not the player that he once was what do you you want me to bench me no no no it’s like that’s

Twigs I don’t think I said that okay I mean you can suggest it’s fine but I mean thanks Steve I guess like I don’t know sometimes you earn these things like patience and time to find yourself and I think history will uh is on our side when it comes to that

Stuff recently if you take a look at Klay Thompson he just really seems to have a difficult time coming to terms with his Worst season to date sometimes I forget just how successful how lucky I’ve been to be a part of championship teams and Allstar games and gold

Medals when you want to get back to that level so badly you could kind of get in your own way and rather than forcing it we had a conversation about just enjoying this last chapter of my career and how lucky I truly am to still be

Playing this game I do it at a high level and being a better Mentor for these young guys anybody example having my energy right every game and he helped me realize I do have negative energy how that affects a team in a poor manners all of this brings us

To Draymond Green now the Golden State Warriors officially made their decision throughout last season showing that they were going to choose their old core that brought them championships throughout the past decade as opposed to their younger talent that they’ve been focusing on developing even though that younger Talent played a huge role in

Winning them their latest NBA championship you don’t win that NBA Finals without Andrew Wiggins and Jordan P however Jordan P regressed mightily last year maybe it had something to do with Draymond Green punching the living crap out of him and most recently Andrew Wiggins was a minus 29 last night with

The Golden State Warriors being minus 150 with him on the floor this season and plus 157 with him off of the floor it’s one of the various rotation issues that the Warriors are trying and currently failing to solve and that was evidenced in their blowout loss to the

Toronto Raptors in our last video we talked about how Jonathan kaminga has lost faith in his head coach Steve Kerr saying that he doesn’t think that Steve Kerr will allow him to reach his fullest potential after not playing in the final 18 minutes of their loss versus Denver

Now Steve Kerr’s reason for not playing Jonathan kaminga was a little lame yeah he was playing great and and um you know his normal time to go back in would have been around the um you know 5 six minute Mark and uh wigs was was playing great

We were rolling we’re up 189 whatever it was and so we just stayed with him and then at that point um it didn’t feel you know um like it was the right thing to do he’d been sitting for a while so I stayed with the group that was out there

And um obviously um you know we couldn’t couldn’t close it out but following the criticism from Jonathan kaminga Steve Ker’s response wasn’t necessarily the greatest comparing Jonathan kaminga to himself uh we talked um you know obviously those things are better um discussed behind the scenes anytime um

Something like that goes public um then it creates um you know distraction and and um I think you know it’s important for all of our guys and I talked to our whole team about it it’s like you know you got got an issue I’m here you know I am the most

Accessible coach uh in the league probably my do is always open and uh I have players all the time come talk to me um and I encourage it and it’s U it’s a difficult situation because every player um naturally has his own goals his own dreams um everybody wants to

Flourish everybody wants to Blossom um and we have um a lot of guys who are capable of playing and I have very difficult decisions to make each and every night JK’s a young player player who’s growing he’s getting better it’s why he’s start has been in the starting

Lineup um and um you know he will continue to grow and this is all part of his growth then kurr did give Jonathan kaminga more minutes versus the Toronto Raptors the problem is that he gave him minutes alongside Andrew Wiggins these two are not meant to share a court with

One another in 146 minutes the Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga pairing is – 73 the pairing just doesn’t work and the Warriors essentially need to choose between kaminga and Andrew Wiggins and they may need Jonathan kaminga to take a bigger role but fortunately for the Warriors help is on the way kind of

Draymond Green has officially been reinstated by the NBA following a 12-game suspension this is really good news I mean if you’re the Golden State Warriors you need all the help that you can get and losing Draymond Green certainly didn’t help help things the NBA even released a statement on the

Draymond Green suspension saying that the Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been reinstated following his suspension for striking Phoenix Center youf nerkish on December 12th 2023 and this was announced today by Joe Dumars head of basketball operations During the period of his suspension which began on December 14th and

Resulted in him missing 12 games green completed steps that demonstrated his commitment to conforming his conduct to standards expected of NBA players he has engaged in meetings with a counselor and has met jointly on multiple occasions with representatives of the NBA the Warriors and the NBA pa of both of which

Will continue throughout the season now my initial reaction is how on Earth did Draymond Green get a smaller suspension for punching the living crap out of youf nage than he did when he choked out Rudy Gober I mean I guess my initial theory was correct whenever the NBA suspends a

Player indefinitely they just want to make it seem like they’re giving the maximum punishment possible and then they will bring that player back once things simmer down at this point when you think of the Golden State Warriors you don’t think of Draymond Green choking out Rudy goar you don’t even

Think of him punching the living crap out of yusa nurkic or Jordan P you’re thinking about how Klay Thompson is cooked how Andrew Wiggins is performing horrible how Jonathan kaminga declared war on his head coach there’s so much going on with the Golden State Warriors

That I can’t even cover it all in one video and I don’t want to come off as an individual that is saying hey you need to punish Draymond Green more but I will admit that it’s really strange that he’s going to return to the NBA in a similar

Time frame as he did for choking out Rudy goar now Draymond Green actually talked about this and the cardi decided to play was I don’t mean to come off as insensitive but it looks like he was really trying to play the victim here going as far as to say that his career

Was about to end and he was about to retire I’m serious watch one thing throughout this process that really hurt me I turned on a TV screen as someone uh Stephen A was like uh Steph is a bad leader because Draymond did X and it pissed me off but it crushed me it

Crushed me because how is Steph and and being a bad leader like this guy doesn’t give us anything to tear him down about this guy does everything the right way and yet he’s being tore down because my actions that was a tough one this that was a tough blow to deal with and

Because he got crushed publicly for that I’m going to apologize public I sincerely apologize to Steph for my actions cuz that was a tough pill to swallow very thankful for Steph uh as I’ve been out on this time talk every every day every other day just checking

In um he’s like yo I’m going to be right here with you through this I’m going help you through this and he’s been very much so that one of the craziest phenomena regarding Draymond Green is how he will act like an absolute Menace to Society I mean whether it’s punching

Jordan p in the face punching Yousef nurkic in the face choking out Rudy goar or any instance in the past like hitting LeBron James and the groin alienating Kevin Durant stomping on dead sabonis and then he’ll appear on a podcast and he’ll articulate his thoughts in the most intelligent way possible and I

Guess in terms of what happened between him and Steph Curry I think it’s very Noble of him to apologize I think this part that’s coming up in regards to Adam Silver in regards to the fact that he was considering retirement is where I’m kind of scratching my head because he

Attacks use of nurkic right and he’s considering retirement because of his attacking of youf nerkish and maybe I just can’t relate to the guy obviously I don’t come from the same background as Draymond Green I don’t understand what would ever drive an individual to attack another basketball player on the court I

Just can’t wrap my head around how you could rationalize this type of aggressive behavior considering the fact that Draymond Green has had a Hall of Fame career and once he retires there’s no question about it he is going to be a Hall of Famer whether you like it or not

But this next part I believe is very strange because you’re out here conducting yourself in a terrible way and if David Stern was the commissioner you definitely would have had a longer suspension but I’m assuming that this conversation played a hand in why Draymond Green and why Draymond Green

Was able to get away with it I had a conversation with Adam Silver commissioner R Le I just told him Adam is too much for me like this is too much it’s all becoming too much for me and I’m going to retire and Adam said ah

You’re making a very rash decision and I won’t let you do that you know we had a long great conversation very helpful to me very thankful uh to play in a league with a commissioner like Adam uh who’s more about helping you than hurting you or helping you than

Punishing you or you know he’s more about the players maybe I’m just insens but like how did that conversation go down Adam I just can’t help but beat the living crap out of opposing players once my team is losing and my team sucks even though I won four championships in the

League I just I just can’t help it I know I just signed a 4-year $100 million contract but I just really love attacking opposing players so I’m going to retire and then Adam Silver said N I think you’re making a rash decision we’re going to reinstate you relatively

Quick quickly I just don’t understand how this is supposed to result in Rehabilitation and I think the NBA is just continuing a trend that we’re just way too used to seeing at this point last year with John Morant they barely gave him any time off the first time

That he got caught showing off a weapon at the club that one night when he was in Denver and now with Draymond Green they pretty much gave him a lesser punishment this time than they did when he attacked Rudy goar so how is he supposed to grow from this he had a 12

Game suspension and he’s going to continue going to counseling which I think is great but that’s all he needs to be rehabilitated I mean it’s just crazy because there’s a clear pattern here and the NBA just doesn’t see that pattern and I hope I’m wrong I hope Draymond

Green comes back I hope he performs as well as he was before he’s having a remarkable season for the Golden State Warriors even though the Warriors aren’t performing super well I just really don’t understand how the NBA is expecting change using this methodology but hey maybe I’m insensitive maybe I’m

Too harsh on people maybe I’m a little bit too demanding you guys can let me know in the comment section down below do you think the NBA is making the right call reinstating Draymond Green this soon i’ like to hear what you have to say aside from that I’m your boy Mike

And I’m dropping our mic until our next upload
