Dray and Wiseman for Collins, Okongwu, and their 2023 1st.


Lets also not forget Schlenk runs the Hawks and he was a major factor in drafting Draymond for the Dubs.

That was bad from Green.
A punch to a smaller guy(and a teammate) who didn't expected that.
I don't think that they can coexist from now on in the same team.
Warriors seems that they will have to make a decision pretty quick, I think before the start of the season.
Green or Poole

It was never going to end well. The guy has demonstrated pretty clear personality disorders since the beginning. And every party enabled it because rewards out weighed the negative. Well looks like that has reversed. Personally, I always thought it was inevitable. Imagine having to work with this nutter.I trust the owner/management group to get an exit strategy that doesn't implode. This guy does not retire a warrior.

I don't recall Draymond stepping to Steven Adams or Lebron like this. Saves his sucker punches for a kid 10 years younger and 20 pounds lighter. Draymond is a straight up baby back bitch. F :censored: him in his other ear

Draymond really is on an epic run of bad decision making this off-season...

Its clear Draymond wanted to hit dude for awhile.. Fights happen in every league but you cant keep him on the team longterm knowing he has the capability to do that to one of your best players 1 or any player on your roster 2.. Just cant happen.. where he gets dealt to is the question

I couldn't agree more. We all knew Draymond was more than a little "different." I just never thought Draymond was a straight up bad person. Therapy would probably do wonders for Draymond. But, he's probably like Charlie Sheen...whom Dr. Drew once described as "terminally arrogant."

I am a grown ass adult with a successful family and career and a lot to lose, but at 25 with a millions at my disposal? Imma’ have some goons run up on Draymond in the streets and not think twice. You want to thug out at my workplace? Fine, We can do this then.

Geeze that punch was wild, way worse than what was being reported. Tried to do some serious damage there. Even if Jordan was being a dick, that was bad from Dray, could have seriously hurt him with a wild swing like that.

K now I have seen that, I’ll back away from defending Draymond here.

Draymond complimented Poole for standing up to his verbal abuse last year. He played the big brother when Poole was coming up. Apparently that goes out the window when you threaten to take the ball out of his hands.

Lol
What did you think a 250 pound human being punching someone in the head looked like? I thought you said you were about that life too? ROFL

These two tweets are pretty much interchangeable. Someone's head has to roll...Just not the actual culprit's. :D

Well it was an extremely weak move on Green's part. I am sure this happens more times than we think, but a sucker punch just has terrible optics.

On a side note, better now than against an opponent during the finals. Hopefully it will make Draymond turn it down a notch.

Someone posted this one on GB. Fun one. The voice over actually sounded slightly like Draymond as well.
