Grayson Allen has shown a far greater propensity for violence than Draymond ever has.

I've heard people say that Grayson is actually the nicest guy you'll ever meet in person. He's a completely different guy off the court.

Many years, actually decades, before there was the "Malice in the Palace," an incident had taken place in Oakland...

Gotta love how the announcer immediately went into ringside mode. "A left and a right to the head. A hard right to the head!"

Is Draymond actually thinking of picking up his option for next year? If so, that would give the Warriors some trade flexibility.

"My general view of my future here, is I'm here this year trying to win a championship," Green said. "I have a contract that ranges through next year, if I so choose to pick up that option, and that is my view of how it'll be here. We all have a goal to win a championship, and that is that."

Dray is concerned about his next contract. He was probably told before that practice that myers didn't plan to negotiate before his extension deadline.

And everyone knew poole was the teams priority.

Draymond has every right to feel some type of way. He took less on his last contract so that they could sign Kd. He was the one who heavily recruited Kd. Now that he’s coming up on his last contract he wants to be taken care of and they’re prioritizing other people over him after all that he’s done for the franchise helping them win 4 titles and go to 6 finals.

Lacob really shot the franchise in the foot by saying we can’t pay everyone. So now draymond is scrambling to get paid.

Did he take less?

Didn't he sign the 4-year $100 million deal after KD had left?

My guess was there wasn't any other team willing to pay as much as the Warriors for a player who didn't even average double digits in scoring.

I think $25 million a year back in 2019 or 2020 was still for guys averaging 15-20 PPG, if not more.

Sure there are other ways he contributes to winning but other than Gobert, what were the top defensive players earning?

?

He signed his last contract extension in KD's last season if I remember correctly. He has also been paid fine in his last two extensions IMO.

I’m talking about his first extension before Kd

Apparently the GMs who sign free agents do.

Do you think another team will offer him more than what his current contract is?

They might for one or two years, maybe a team option in year 3.

But I don't see him getting anything like 3 years $80 million or more fully guaranteed.

Certainly not 4 years fully guaranteed for $120 or even $110 million. His current deal was 4 years $100 million with fourth year a player option.

Think of teams which give out bad contracts or may think he could help them.

Do the Pistons give him at least 3 years $80 million fully guaranteed?

Do the Lakers?

Do the Trailblazers?

Do the Clippers?

Do the Heat?

Of these teams I believe only Pistons and Lakers are likely to have cap space after this season for that kind of contract.

when his defense and playmaking is no longer as good as it used to be, and he's starting to become a distraction on and off the court...yes?

im not sure how people haven't noticed but Dray's been compromised ever since he signed with Klutch. let the sentimental stuff go.

This is a laughable statement and wrong. Draymond won't +1 this post if you write it. When Grayson physically assaults multiple people outside of the court, then we can put him on the same level as Draymond.

Lakers may if Lebron strongarms them. Pistons I think are out of the picture now that they saw him assault a young kid. A team with young guys would be stupid to hire him at this point.

I looked for Grayson Allen's mugshots online. I couldn't find any. It was pretty easy to find Draymond's mugshots.

Ridiculous. And the rest of your post was just personal attack. Knock it off.



The rest of it? That's a fabrication.

The attempt to cast Draymond alongside the likes of the criminal Trump and the bipolar Ben Gordon is the grossest and most preposterous hyperbole.

Those claiming as much and those protecting them through censorship should be ashamed.
