2022 NBA OFF SEASON DRAFT FREE AGENCY TAMPERING ETC

Green must be going through something. It’s the only thing that makes sense. He has too much at stake to lose control now, and this isn’t the heat of the playoffs where he is required to be on edge. What’s more, he has been a model teammate and leader since the team reunited — which was a bit surprising considering he didn’t get the extension he wanted. He seemed up for the task of proving his worth and defending the title despite the disappointment of not getting the contract he believes he deserves.

feel like this could be about trying to be a good citizen and suppress his resentment at not getting the extension then poole started talking about it and he snapped

hes an extremely expressive person its not in his nature to bottle things up like that

it does seem like that's what it is but it's a tough look when you've already made $155 million dollars playing basketball and you're begrudging your young teammate's first big contract.

yeah not excusing it its super weak shit just trying to do some amateur psychology

im sure a lot of it for dray is he feels disrespected by the org that he won all those rings for

i'm sure draymond never talks trash or needles his teammates

the org that he won all those rings for

i heard it's a team sport

idk man youll have to talk to him

im sure a lot of it for dray is he feels disrespected by the org that he won all those rings for

yeah definitely, i do feel like this is the clearest sign yet that he's going to end his career as a very ineffective player on another team

yeah if they didnt want to extend him before this its hard to imagine them doing it now

def had the thought that lashing out like that on his own dudes could be a sign of frustration at his own dwindling skills, he's not going to be happy when it starts to go (and it has started to go)

rough sitch many feelings all around

Million ways this can go and the majority of them lead to “not good”

Celtics must be thanking their damned stars for this shit lol

To me, this story is about "punching up" vs. "punching down"... I prefer when Draymond punches tall people

Sixers report: Maxey has picked up right where he left off last year. He's scored 41 points in 29 first half minutes on 15-for-19 shooting. He’s gone 5 for 7 from three-point range. Supposedly he worked on a mid-range game in the offseason.

I wonder if this affects Draymond's tv career?

idk...barkley is a tv fixture and he threw a guy through a plate glass window, different circumstances obv

he should fight shaq for right to be the annoying guy on inside the nba

shaq himself punched a mummy in the second world

draymond presser

oh thats actually not the whole thing

this has the beginning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCQO5Hr20Mc

hes taking some time away from the team what does this mean he says he hopes to be back for the ring ceremony whos decision is that is he suspended or what whats goin on here folks

it’s really bizarre

feels like they’re scrambling after the video came out bcuz they had no intention of punishing him in any real way

yeah, wonder who had seen the video before it got out

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that there is “no set date” for Green’s return and that it was a “mutual decision” for Green to briefly step away.

“We’ll see,” Kerr said when asked what actions he would like to see from Green to mend the turbulence. “Things will play out. There’s no predicting anything. Things have to play out and you just keep moving forward.”

weird approach to not mention expected conduct standards, discipline etc

they are def very mad the video got out, which is fair its a violation for sure, both dray and kerr were pretty pointed about that part

“In 32 years, I’ve probably seen 20-plus fistfights. It should not make it out of our walls,” Kerr said. “We need to be better.”

not sure i would deem that one a fistfight, which might be the thing kerr is missing here

guys who leaked it walking around whistling like thats crazy wow who do you think did it

sure kerr can go ahead and be upset that it leaked but don't expect the public to be sympathetic

yeah we want to see that shit

I’m confused, why are we mad at kerr? the warriors will deal with it however they want, dray will get a slap on the wrist or a couple of games or something, it’s their business really

wow steve kerrs burner over here

being all indignant that the video got out is a pretty weak cya attempt given that the video totally undermines their attempt to minimize what actually happened and let draymond skate with no consequences

I took a drink every time he said "quite frankly" and now I'm Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas

its very much "sorrry i got caught". nagl

I found it to be sincere.

i did too, it wasnt any sort of perfect performance of contrition or whatever but what do u want i dont think he ever claimed to be an expert

he really stressed that Poole's whole family should be embarrassed rn

thought he might reveal he leaked the video himself after saying how embarrassed Poole's second and third cousins should feel now

Just got tix for my wife and I to take her nephew (massive Sixers fan) and his gf to the BOS game in Philly in February. Very excited.

nice, that should be great

Excellent choice pkbr.

Meanwhile jp is still fun w the ball

that 3/15 game is looking pretty good

sunday matinee warriors would be a nice little outing

i’d get an early season game, better chance of being able to see those guys play

Well, maybe not Draymond.
