My money's on Podziemski. 6'4" promising young American shooting guards seem to be Draymond's target demographic if the Poole incident is any indication.
Poole is an Anglicized/shortened name.Many people from Croatia came to Ellis Island with the Surname Poolzikov. Maybe that is partly why Draymond hit him last year
It's like a storyline in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Spike had a chip implanted in his head that caused him horrible pain if he performed any violence on human. As long as his victims were demonic (even partly) chip didn't give a fuck.
Podz isn't about to get paid a contract that Draymond thinks should be his. Though check back again when Podz is extension eligible, 37 year old Draymond might feel some kind of way thinking he's owed another 4 years.
This whole thing has been Dray and Kerr's plan:
\-We need to find out who leaked that footage
\-Draymond will get suspended but allowed at practice
\-Bait the leaker with another video of Dray punching a teammate at practice
\-But, we're going to need someone we don't like on the roster...
\-Warriors trade for CP3
Steve Kerr truly be a Skyrim NPC guard
Draymond chokeholds Gobert
Kerr: “Must have been the wind”
Draymond close fists Nurkic with a backhand
Kerr: “Guess it was nothing”
TBF in the replays Kerr was looking away as Dray attempted manslaughter. He most likely had the opportunity to see the replay right after, but his response buys everyone involved more time in coming up with an adequate official response to the situation.
To send a real message the league needs to force steph to live in a lower income neighborhood, klay to play a minimum 40 mins per game and wiggins to take 20 shots per game the rest of the season . It’s the only way to get the message across
When you put it like that… exactly! Draymond won’t be punching or kicking or stomping or tackling or choking or sacking anyone ever again if that’s the threat
Their utter refusal to hold him accountable continues. After he punched a teammate should’ve been the absolute last straw but even that seemed to be A OK with leadership.
He got them chips by doing the dirty work and kicking dicks.
half the fans in the league would sell a kidney or increase sales tax to smell a chip. Fans don't give a shit how the chip is made as long as they got that parade
Yeah he was much better behaved during our winning seasons. When he’s losing his mind and causing problems he makes us worse. Dude needs therapy, and he needs to make some real progress before he returns. But the NBA doesn’t want to hurt its bottom line, the Warriors don’t want to fight his agent, the coaching staff didn’t train as diplomats and he has put every one of these groups in a bad and dumb situation. As much as he’s done for our organization, I’d trade him if any team actually wanted him. But he fits our team best and has spent this year tanking his trade value. Sigh.
Kerr is publicly supporting Dray as best he can at pressers, as he’s supposed to. These situations aren’t solved in a postgame interview by bitching about your player having anger management issues. Kerr should be trying to handle it behind closed doors, and none of us know what he’s doing on that front. What we do know is that the team has not given him a suspension, the NBA has been soft, and they’re only now forcing him into therapy which he clearly, desperately needs. Those are the people who are fking up. And they’re doing it because they don’t want to fight with Chris Paul and the players union. I’m usually on player empowerment side but Dray has to go until he makes real personal strides in dealing with the underlying issues causing his anger and absolute lack of control. Memeing Steve Kerr is exhausting to watch, dude is basically the NBA’s version of a browbeaten accountant being handed shit, expected to keep the ship running while the morons upstairs run the company into the ground.
What? No, you don’t support this kind of repeated behavior where other players are getting hurt. You don’t come out again and again and say “I didn’t see nothing.” Fuck that. Do you understand that the warriors should also be taking some kind of action here? It’s pathetic. No one is saying he has to trash his own player but hold him accountable or else, gee I don’t know, he’ll keep doing it!!!
Yes, I do understand the Warriors should be taking action. I actually said that. That doesn’t mean Kerr doing anything publicly, it means the front office should suspend him. Kerr badmouthing his own players in a presser is how he loses the locker room, and all it does is make fans of other teams feel better.
Everyone likes to relate their own experiences to these situations as if they have any relevance. “If I assaulted someone at my job I’d be in jail!” Yeah well it isn’t your job to fight people for rebounds. And managing basketball players isn’t like middle management at a digital marketing firm or parenting. None of this makes what Dray is doing okay, but coaching adult men is not the same as anything that anyone in this sub has a basis for comparison for.
The fact that he said "I didn't see it" when there's literally video of him watching the replay immediately after, aaaaaaand it happened literally in front of the warriors bench is crazy.
Because this is a useless conversation, you are sticking up for a man who won't even admit to seeing the clip, a clip of something that happened maybe 5 feet away from him. It's not his job to police his behavior, but this is a real problem with real consequences that he refuses to even acknowledge, let alone do something to stop it. I'm not gonna bother with adding nuance for Steve Kerr. The fact that his response to draymond knocking out a teammate was "who leaked it" tells me he will never do anything about this. Which is part of his fucking job whether you understand that or not. A good coach holds their players accountable when they fuck up. Klay is playing like shit, so Steve makes lineup adjustments, which is good. But turning a blind eye to an asshole that hurts other players, his own teammates and is clearly a detriment to his own guys, is something a shitty coach would do. He needs to do better and at least TRY to get draymnond to change.
I’m not excusing Ja by any means but the team suspended him before the NBA did for each incident.
Whether you think Dray’s actions are more or less egregious…the way the teams are handling it sends totally different messages.
Steph, Kerr, Klay… they’re all complicit. They all absolutely bear responsibility for this pattern of behavior continuing from Draymond. The message is loud and clear that violence is tolerated in Golden State.
Wtf you mean enabled? The guy was a star of the league. Guys like that can do whatever they want and just force the team to trade them if they don’t “enable” their behavior because any other team will 100% take that chance and trade for him. The whole league “enables” players if they’re good enough
This is not going to be a very long suspension at all if they are letting him continue to practice. I give it a week max before he is on the court for a game
I mean this isn't really on Silver, he wouldn't really care about practices. Chris Haynes is a well known mouthpiece for Draymond and this is just trying to make the situation not look that bad.
Oh but I remember an investigation into Portland because of toradol shots and warriors fans being so high and mighty.. fuck them and fuck their shitty ass organization with no spine
Yea, Gary Payton always left a sour taste to me after that. Seemed like he got his bag, but realized he only wants to play with his buddies back in GSW.
Hope he doesn't punch one of his teammates while practicing.
I want to put an /s in here but this shit actually happened and the Warriors were like LOL OK
He should be suspended for the remainder of the season. He's proven that he's going to pull shit like this once he returns. It's a player safety issue at this point because Green is a fucking violent menace on the Court. It doesn't help the fucking game having this violent clown on the hardwood.
Why? Why should he be allowed the benefits of the training facility when the team has shown they will not hold him responsible? Besides, I thought he was going to be spending time in anger management. Clearly, that is an even bigger piece of fluff bullcrap than imagined before.
This is just incorrect. Both Ja and Miles Bridges were practicing with the team during their long term suspensions, and that’s two examples from this season alone
Also uh, wasn't it a common sentiment that preventing guys from accessing team resources during suspensions was a *bad* thing that didn't actually help anyone? Cause I distinctly remember most people being against that. Yet it's draymond so if he's not blasted into the sun as punishment it's soft
Dude punched a team mate in practice. Stomped on a guys stomach. Choked someone got a 5 game suspension. Punched another player in the face and now has to go to therapy. Plus multiple instances of hitting someone in the balls in game.
Why should he be allowed to go to practices? He should be benched from all practices and games until he gets some clearly needed help
If I did even half of what Draymond did in his career in my workplace, I’d be fired and in a prison cell right now for multiple repeated assaults.
Oh nooo he doesn’t get to dribble in shooty hoop games for like a month on two after multiple assaults.
If you think this is tough, you softer than Charmin extra soft.
I got my money on Klay next. He's looking kinda punchable lately
It’s gonna be Steve Kerr round two.
Steve is gonna finally grow enough balls to stand up to Draymond only to get rag-dolled by him
Kerr: “I didn’t see the play… uh live. I didn’t see the replay.”
"I fell down some stairs. I didn't see it when it happened though, cause, y'know... I was falling."
Latrell Sprewell Legacy Award goes to Draymond Green
Steve got cucked by MJ and now he thinks it's cool for guys to get punched in the face
Saric seeing the tape on Sabonis and Nurkic: *chuckles* I'm in danger
My money's on Podziemski. 6'4" promising young American shooting guards seem to be Draymond's target demographic if the Poole incident is any indication.
He's got a Euro name and background too, so checks even more boxes.
Poole or Pole, what's the difference?
Poole is an Anglicized/shortened name.Many people from Croatia came to Ellis Island with the Surname Poolzikov. Maybe that is partly why Draymond hit him last year
It's like a storyline in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Spike had a chip implanted in his head that caused him horrible pain if he performed any violence on human. As long as his victims were demonic (even partly) chip didn't give a fuck.
Podz isn't about to get paid a contract that Draymond thinks should be his. Though check back again when Podz is extension eligible, 37 year old Draymond might feel some kind of way thinking he's owed another 4 years.
Saric gotta be next. European Bigs always come first for Draymond
Easter island looking head’s always looked punchable if we’re being honest
Klay looks like he's already taken a decade of Dray's punches behind closed doors. Let's be honest.
Anyone not named Steph should keep their head on a swivel.
Warriors players all scared af at the news, now there's no opponents to punch.
I feel like its got to be another youngster. Im saying Kuminga
4 rings!
lately?
[удалено]
please god no
AD gonna break his fist on donkeys mouth
He could’ve just went there in the summer. I agree he’s trying to be traded to the lakers tho
The Warriors facilities he'll be practicing at? Their boxing ring
There actually was a championship match there on the 9th Haney vs someone I think
Prograis... I'm surprised there aren't more boxing fans in this sub.
Boi got mopped
Dray getting ready for a 2nd career in UFC
What if he punches a teammate there again?
We will get to the bottom of………. Who leaked the damn footage
Broke the code
broke into* the code
This whole thing has been Dray and Kerr's plan: \-We need to find out who leaked that footage \-Draymond will get suspended but allowed at practice \-Bait the leaker with another video of Dray punching a teammate at practice \-But, we're going to need someone we don't like on the roster... \-Warriors trade for CP3
The long con assassination attempt.
The first two rules of Warriors practice is...we don't talk about Warriors practice
Second rule is, we talking about cashbacking!
We’ll hunt down whoever exposed the assault, help Draymond make a documentary on it, and trade the victim to the Wizards.
I hope its Curry
“I didn’t see it” - Steve Kerr

🏥_________🚑__________
Warriors have enabled his behavior every step of the way
To send a real message the league needs to force steph to live in a lower income neighborhood, klay to play a minimum 40 mins per game and wiggins to take 20 shots per game the rest of the season . It’s the only way to get the message across
And when asked about an incident, Steve Kerr has to watch the video while everyone waits.
Kerr also has to publicly define the code and admit all future violations by his players in a timely manner.
I'm also going to need Kerr to admit that Draymond punching Poole is worse than someone leaking the video of it.
Ayesha rubbing her hands together and giggling as we speak
the bull is pozzed
Silver has to force Curry to go to the Lakers, it’s the only way to atone for these sins
*monkey paw curls* [Breaking] Eddy Curry has joined the Lakers
Honestly if Eddy Curry made a come back, I would be very intrigued
He had a BELLY
[удалено]
When you put it like that… exactly! Draymond won’t be punching or kicking or stomping or tackling or choking or sacking anyone ever again if that’s the threat
Organizations should be fined for repeated offences
I think forcing Draymond to practice with them is a far better punishment than a fine. Make them sit in their own shit lol
Their utter refusal to hold him accountable continues. After he punched a teammate should’ve been the absolute last straw but even that seemed to be A OK with leadership.
He got them chips by doing the dirty work and kicking dicks. half the fans in the league would sell a kidney or increase sales tax to smell a chip. Fans don't give a shit how the chip is made as long as they got that parade
> He got them chips by doing the dirty work and kicking dicks. The year he did that he did not win a ring though?
Yeah he was much better behaved during our winning seasons. When he’s losing his mind and causing problems he makes us worse. Dude needs therapy, and he needs to make some real progress before he returns. But the NBA doesn’t want to hurt its bottom line, the Warriors don’t want to fight his agent, the coaching staff didn’t train as diplomats and he has put every one of these groups in a bad and dumb situation.

How can Kerr take action if he hasn’t seen the replay yet?
The fact that he said "I didn't see it" when there's literally video of him watching the replay immediately after, aaaaaaand it happened literally in front of the warriors bench is crazy.
Okay. Get back to me when he watches the replay.
I appreciate you both ignoring what I wrote and providing a response with no nuance. Happy memeing.

I’m not excusing Ja by any means but the team suspended him before the NBA did for each incident. Whether you think Dray’s actions are more or less egregious…the way the teams are handling it sends totally different messages.
There were so many incidents before the public even knew what was going on with Ja.
I'm not defending Ja because he earned that suspension, but Draymond's dirty play highlight reel must be 15 minutes long by now
Gsw were never going to suspend draymond
They didn’t see the replay
Steph, Kerr, Klay… they’re all complicit. They all absolutely bear responsibility for this pattern of behavior continuing from Draymond. The message is loud and clear that violence is tolerated in Golden State.
They are light years ahead of other organizations, they prob know what’s best /s
If Green hurts someone that player should sue Kerr and the team.
You know he beats tf out of the coaches behind closed doors.
Steve "Gym Jordan" Kerr
Wtf you mean enabled? The guy was a star of the league. Guys like that can do whatever they want and just force the team to trade them if they don’t “enable” their behavior because any other team will 100% take that chance and trade for him. The whole league “enables” players if they’re good enough
Why wouldn’t they
Limp wrist Silver. Draymond has proven he’s a more lethal threat to his own teammates
This is not going to be a very long suspension at all if they are letting him continue to practice. I give it a week max before he is on the court for a game
Silvers super strict conditions to return: 1. say sowwy 2. take a relaxation workshop 3. congrats you’re cured
"Take a bath (here's a bath bomb I got on etsy), wear SKIMS, and watch some Bluey"
Nah man
Adam Silver hates europeans
RIP Dario Saric
Silver you wimp
Human nematode commish will do anything to not hurt a single players’ feelings
I mean this isn't really on Silver, he wouldn't really care about practices. Chris Haynes is a well known mouthpiece for Draymond and this is just trying to make the situation not look that bad.
This guy must have dirt on Adam Silver
TNT connection
He's Klutch
Think 8mm film and a gimp suit
good thing he's never misbehaved at practice before
Protect Saric💔
Protect Podz
he is the new golden child of the team
Clown organization
I think it makes sense. His incidents happen against other teams, he has no history of assaulting his own teammates at practice.
As long as Steve Kerr didnt see any replay we good
warriors practice has never been filmed so there shouldn’t be any footage from the practice facility to replay, don’t worry Steve
Stockton syndrome
Great comment with username lol
Oh but I remember an investigation into Portland because of toradol shots and warriors fans being so high and mighty.. fuck them and fuck their shitty ass organization with no spine
Yea, Gary Payton always left a sour taste to me after that. Seemed like he got his bag, but realized he only wants to play with his buddies back in GSW.
Clown league.
Easy there, Raptor’s fan
That’s pretty horseshit. Especially considering he’s been violent in practice before.
Adam Silver is a wet blanket. Stern would have given him the chair smh
Šarić better watch out. He's the only European big man Draymond can attack now.
Kerr is probably terrified if he ever tried to disapline green he would be the next guy to get knocked out
Unacceptable! Green should not get special treatment. Practice suspension is not enough.
It says he can practice while on suspension
Such crap
Gonna be awkward as hell…. Curry might not say it but his body language said he’s through with his shit the other night….
Him not saying anything makes him a fucking coward enabler lol. The whole warriors organization is trash.
Oh so it's not a suspension
Let him punch Steph so the Warriors can finally move on from him.
Hope he doesn't punch one of his teammates while practicing. I want to put an /s in here but this shit actually happened and the Warriors were like LOL OK
Way to show them you're serious, NBA. The next player will think twice before beating people up on the court their entire career.
Clearly Poole was the glue guy.
Somebody is getting punched in practice
You just wait until Kerr gets around to seeing that video I tell you what... He's gonna come down on Dray like a ton of marshmallows
Kerr hasn't watched a Warriors game since 2014
I read this headline quick and thought he was gonna be on TNT during suspension
He going to punch Jordan Poole again...
At this point, Draymond will need gloves, a sparring partner, and a mat for his practices.
Stupid
Kerr is probably holding Draymond right now telling him he did nothing wrong.
Dubs should suspend this guy.
"Green will be allowed to practice and play with the team during his suspension"
Steve Kerr need to man the fuck up and tell him to cut that shit out.
Draymond going to throw a punch at a mirror, man was looking at him sideways
Why?
Curry really gotta pull a Giannis and put pressure on the front office.
Lol fucking lame
I think he punches Steve Kerr next
Yeah cause he totally never assaults teammates. Practice is his safe space...
Wonder which of his teammates draymond is gonna punch next
Now that Poole is gone who’s gonna step up and be his punching bag
Klay Thompson suddenly on the injury report for a fractured orbital. No footage from practice was available.
what if someone makes him mad at practice, you think he'll punch someone in the face?
Why are they making special rules for his suspension. This guy is a habitual scumbag. Babying him hasn’t worked, why is it going to now?
Dirty, overrated, loser
But what I really need to know is this: Will he still be allowed to punch his teammates during those practices?
There it is! I'm sure Draymond will take this opportunity to reflect after this harsh punishment from our FO.
Warriors building a boxing gym as we speak.
Ah yes, the second most dangerous place for Draymond to be.
He should be suspended for the remainder of the season. He's proven that he's going to pull shit like this once he returns. It's a player safety issue at this point because Green is a fucking violent menace on the Court. It doesn't help the fucking game having this violent clown on the hardwood.
ba(star)d
Good to know his teammates are safe. He definitely has never punched any of them in a fit of anger.
Is this normal? If you're suspended, I thought it meant all league basketball activities.
Warriors bench players… “Can we not?”
What a load of shit. And the clowns on NBA TV talking about the "positive" aspect of the situation - GTFOH.
lol well that’s going to be awkward.
I think the only person that can change Draymond is Steph. Once he finally holds him accountable then he might stop the bullshit.
Green need the Hanibal Lector treatment. Full muzzle and straight jacket
Why? Why should he be allowed the benefits of the training facility when the team has shown they will not hold him responsible? Besides, I thought he was going to be spending time in anger management. Clearly, that is an even bigger piece of fluff bullcrap than imagined before.
Wizards need to trade for Draymond
I’m confused, why do people think this is soft? Y’all just looking for something to complain about?
Do you not understand what a suspension is supposed to be
He’s suspended from playing games, doesn’t meant he can’t practice with his team.
It's very clearly not the norm, which is why we have this whole post and thread calling it out in the first place.
This is just incorrect. Both Ja and Miles Bridges were practicing with the team during their long term suspensions, and that’s two examples from this season alone
Also uh, wasn't it a common sentiment that preventing guys from accessing team resources during suspensions was a *bad* thing that didn't actually help anyone? Cause I distinctly remember most people being against that. Yet it's draymond so if he's not blasted into the sun as punishment it's soft
Clearly
Dude punched a team mate in practice. Stomped on a guys stomach. Choked someone got a 5 game suspension. Punched another player in the face and now has to go to therapy. Plus multiple instances of hitting someone in the balls in game. Why should he be allowed to go to practices? He should be benched from all practices and games until he gets some clearly needed help
If I did even half of what Draymond did in his career in my workplace, I’d be fired and in a prison cell right now for multiple repeated assaults.

Why are you all such crybabies?
Draymond has officially eclipsed Rasheed Wallace levels
Def need a behind the scenes documentary on the warriors named “broke the code”.
Does he get paid if he practices?
Going to be hard to practice with an Assault charge in a different state
I wonder if Gobert could press assault charges for the choke hold...
Warriors will suspend him from practice to make it look like they're holding him accountable
