Draymond Green striking Jordan Poole at practice

[sonnyhill]

As of now I still don't have a clue what the fight was about or a clue how Jordan Poole and Draymond are feeling about working together in the future.

Not sure what set DG off, but I think I have a pretty good feel for what JP is feeling about it right now. If I were JP, I would sit down privately and look DG straight in the eye and very calmly explain that that was the last time he punches him, ever. Many years ago, I had that conversation with another kid in junior high. He never came within 20 feet of me again.

What set DG off?
How about Poole shoving Green with a double palm strike to the chest?

What caused Poole to strike Green with the double palm strike to the chest?
Green getting into Poole's space-and-face.

How do the Warriors, Green and Poole move forward from this ugly incident?
I have no idea; however, now that nobody is talking about Ime Udoke getting his freak on with the Celtic front office staff and KD demanding a trade from the Nets, the Warriors-Green-and-Poole will dominate the sports media cycle until something salacious and new happens.

Draymond had already done his intimidation bump of Poole before Poole's 2 hand push. The 2 hand push was just Poole rejecting the intimidation. The punch was Draymond enforcing the intimadation. Whatever set this off had already happened before Draymond walked from the corner to under the basket to confront Poole.

This is why I enjoyed Game of Thrones and, to a lesser degree, Breaking Bad. As shocking as was every character you liked being offed, there was always another character to come along and get whacked in some ever more glorious manner. It always kept you looking forward, never back.

Suspension in 2016 Finals
Conflict with KD
Attack against Poole

In his Podcast shiting on Myers/Kerr/Curry

Kissing Lebron ass on every corner

Asking for max extension at 33y old and ruining the champion team.


Maybe enough is enough. No suspension??? No trade??? Looks like he holds all FO balls in one hand…

Meanwhile, the SFPD felt the need to issue a statement:

https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-san-francisco-police-releases-statement-on-draymond-green-punching-jordan-poole/

The department said it is not investigating the fight that happened during the Warriors practice and has no involvement whatsoever in the matter.

Warriors FO looks stunningly incompetent in their response to this incident.

they don't look incompetent, they look weak.

they've always been weak when it comes to Dray.

if I'm Myers im telling him to go home and podcast himself to sleep every night until I find someone that'll give me anything in return for this turd.

they didnt issue a statement, TMZ contacted them and asked them if they had been involved. that was their response. there is no need for the police to get involved and glad they're not wasting their time on this (maybe they can go stop actual crimes happening in SF instead).

How much did TMZ pay to whom for that video?
Will the Warriors fire the leaker?

I think it is almost certain they'd fire the leaker.

“Double Palm Strike” Ok Mr Joe Rogan, this is not a UFC fight

[Old_Blue]

How much did TMZ pay to whom for that video?

Couldn't tell you. But, rent must definitely be too damn high...because everyone and their brother in San Francisco is always selling some video to TMZ. Remember this gem of Giants CEO Larry Baer going after his own wife?

Watch on YouTube

I think it is almost certain they'd fire the leaker.

Unless the leaker is Draymond. If punching someone doesn't warrant a suspension, then I can't imagine firing him for leaking.

Sorry to see for u guys...unfortunate end to an era

Sorry to see for u guys...unfortunate end to an era

I see what you did there.

Sorry to see for u guys...unfortunate end to an era

whatever makes you sleep better at night my guy

[Old_Blue]

I wonder if the reason Draymond went after Poole is that Poole questioned Draymond's investment acumen...

Is there any way we can just cut Draymond for this and get out of his contract for violating terms of it? In any other business he'd be fired already.

I don't want that.
Draymond and Poole need to kiss and make up if we want more championships.
Management and Curry need to make sure this gets done.
Learn from the KD and Draymond problem and bring in a marriage counseler this time.

Draymond isn't going to be here long term anyway. The team needs to learn to play without him. Any team that has the GOAT shooter of all time on it is going to be a contender.

[azwfan]

Dont these kinds of things happen somewhat regularly, or at least not rarely? Poole wasnt hurt. Not sure this is a big deal inside the locker room beyond a week or so without media speculation and what not.

That said Draymond is a punk for what he did (and has done in the past). I can see a world where the youngsters stop listening to Dray and it effects the team - but I doubt it.
