Yes, KD is going to leave the Warriors next season because Draymond made a bad decision at the end of regulation game in November against the Clippers. Sure, that's it.

People so insecure

They are still best team in the league, but
this isn't a "non-story"

actually, I'll give it 12 hours

KD just came out today and said that the Green mashup *did* have something to do with him leaving G.S. - and it was confirmed that G.S. *did* take the public beef seriously, and demanded that Green apologize to KD.

So - once again - you and Mr.Hood were strikingly wrong about this.

Funny, I haven't seen you guys around lately. Everything good?
-->

Curry had to visit Draymond, Boogie had to be the voice of reason lol. KD got disrespected to the highest order - called a "bitch" to his face. We remember what happened last time Draymond did that to somebody (the most historic title/comeback in NBA history).

Let's see how this one goes. KD ain't look too keen to make friends last night when asked about it.

Dude spends his summers recruiting/begging people to a WINNING squad on some straight bitch shit...

And makes himself not only expendable, but a liability, in the process?

Wouldn't that be karma? Or in other words, a real kick in the nuts?


Assuming Boogie can come back even at 80-85%, this clown is the 5th best player on the team...and he's closer to 6th than 4th.

AND if he is beefing with their best player?


Like I said, won't happen but...

Fantasy basketball wise or even talent wise ok, but the role he plays for them can’t really be replicated. He’s a unique player who fits them perfectly. He wouldn’t be as good anywhere else, and they wouldn’t be as good with anyone else in there for him.

>AND if he is beefing with their best player?

They’ve gone at it before. I think they’ll be fine.

The thought of the nut cracker recruiting his replacements is funny to me.

This is likely a non-story in the grand scheme of things. At some point next year they'll kick into that "aight man let's get this ring real quick" gear

On the back-end of a back-to-back after bringing him back probably too early after an injury.

Pretty close to a non-story.

And certainly not the story that it's being hyped up to be.

This will be a footnote in a month, much less the end of the season.

I was completely on the same boat as you - guys get into it all the time and it's really nothing. However, the suspension indicates it is a little more than nothing. That being said, Warriors management has the best communication in the game so I'm sure they talked this over with Dray and made it a teaching moment for everyone.

KD looked extremely uncomfortable during the post-game press conference, and I really doubt he wants to spend the rest of the season talking about this.

Besides, the offense looked constipated as fuck without either Steph or Draymond, our two best facilitators, out there. And KD didn't play that well: scored 29, but shot like shit. Didn't look comfortable bringing the ball up.

They'll squash this on the plane to Houston.

Like I said below, I made the "non-story" comment before I knew that they suspended him (didn't read the tweet in response #2). Yes, clearly the team suspending him makes it a story. But no one will be talking about this in a month.

Is this the end of the Warriors? Of course not.

But it IS a story because the team actually suspended him for a game.


Who they are playing or when the game is is irrelevant.


The Warriors are publicly saying "Dray was wrong.." and inferring KD was right.

Essentially, they publicly sided with KD.


Your team MADE it a story by suspending him.


Now, maybe its Kerr trying to do some Phil Jackson type head game shit, but it is still a story.

Admitting that shouldn't be a big deal.

Didn't read the tweet in #2.

Yes, clearly suspending him makes it a story. But if it had remained "argument during/after the game," which it was when I responded, it's a non-story.


>Who they are playing or when the game is is irrelevant.

Come on, this happens before the Rockets game, he isn't suspended.

EDIT: I'll even go as far as saying if the story about the post-game argument doesn't leak, he doesn't get suspended. They would have kept this in-house.

As for "unreasonable," you're in here calling him closer to "sixth best player than the fourth" and implying they might trade him over this. Come on, son.

Bruh - we get it. You're a Warriors die-hard. Enjoy this historic run. But the baseless banter and outsider faux-info is lame.

You want this so bad lol


Go back to tastelessly shitting on Chris Bosh's illness

had been resolved between him and Draymond.

His answer? "Nah"

"Are you and Draymond good friends?"

KD: "That's not important now"

I know how pesky facts can be - but as adults we have to accept them.

>Go back to tastelessly shitting on Chris Bosh's illness

you ok? I (and everyone else analyzing the 2003 Draft Class) referred to Bosh as "retired" --- *dramatic*

I mean I guess I could've called Bosh a bitch and it would've been a non-story, but referring to him as "retired" certainly brings all the Hurt to the Locker.

maybe not that publicly but draymond is uncouth af and clearly doesn't know (or care) that you don't bitch at your teammates in public

I'm really surprised at the warriors suspending draymond though, so what if the cameras caught them squabbling...its something to make note of, but not that big deal that it warrants a suspension..seems excessive

-------------------
I wanna go to where the martyrs went
the brown figures on the walls of my apart-a-ment...

As I said above, I figure the only reason they suspend him without pay is because the details of the post-game fight leaked. That put them in a situation where they felt they had to do something publicly. Otherwise, either 1) they don't suspend him or 2) they sit him and say it's due to the earlier injury. No matter what, they'd handle it in-house.

I've lost count of how many times people are in here calling him a bitch.

The subtext of about 90% of the responses is "I really, REALLY hope that this breaks up the team!" (which it won't)

And here's the harsh reality: nothing Draymond said was wrong. Yeah, he put it indelicately to say the least, but he wasn't wrong.

- Draymond has been making plays for years.
- The Warriors did indeed win a chip before KD got here
- Draymond isn't a scrub
- KD has been making the whole season about him and whether he's going to stay or leave. He has been keeping the story alive and making it so that both he (Durant) and the rest of the team have had to answer questions about it all season so far. Now, there's not much KD can have done about it beyond just re-signing in the off-season (which he isn't going to do until he's Supermax eligible), but it's true.

So, if indeed it's been hanging over the locker room all season, good for Draymond for getting it all out in the open. This is like when there's tension between you and a friend, and instead of dancing around because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, you get that shit out there so that you can deal with it. He shouldn't have called KD a bitch as many times as he did, but his sentiments were correct.

Now, I'm still of the opinion that this shit still isn't a big deal. And I'm still of the opinion the KD is staying. But if KD doesn't stay (he will), it won't be because of this, and if the Warriors don't re-sign Draymond in the 2020 off-season (they may not) it won't be because of this.

bc they suspended him AND his teammates were trying to get him to chill, on the bench and in the locker room (according to reports).

Dray could have been factual correct in everything he said and still be a bitch for saying

ie

Steph could tell durant I was the best player on the team before you got here. Thats a fact but he sound dumb as hell and bitchmade for saying it.

Are some people hating on dray and the warriors in here...of course. Does that make what dray said any less bitchmade...nope.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Because that's the context that's being lost in much of this. Yes, Draymond comments made it about more than that game, but how the game unfolded, including the overtime, explains a good deal of what was going on.

(I'll try to keep this brief as possible, but I probably won't succeed)

With a little over 5 minutes to go, the Warriors are down 11. KD has a triple double, but isn't shooting that well and has been in foul trouble most of the game. Neither is Klay. But both are scoring. Draymond is doing a lot of the ball-handling, rebounding, and defense.

So the Warriors tear off a 11-0 run to tie the game with a little under a minute to go, built on Klay's shooting and Draymond's defense. This takes us to the play in question.

Draymond starts to bring up the ball (like he'd been doing for most of the game) and KD immediately starts clapping and signaling for Draymond to pass to him, showing Draymond up. Draymond ignores him and makes the dumb play. Yeah, he should passed the ball to KD earlier, or at least found a way to get it to Klay, who had the hotter hand at that point. Soon time expires and we get the mess on the bench.

But it's still tied in OT. Warriors go up with an Iggy 3, and then KD fouls out. It was a ticky-tacky foul that the ref shouldn't have called during an OT, but it was still a foul and a dumb move by KD. That's the turning final turning point of the game. No KD for the rest of the OT and they lose.

So, given all that, I can understand why Draymond would flash on KD in the locker-room after KD won't let go about not passing him the ball to him at the end of regulation. Yeah, Draymond should have passed, but he was a big reason that they were in position to win, and now KD is trying to play him like he's Mario Chalmers both on and off the court (at least that game). Especially after KD fouls out and literally is not on the court for the majority of the OT.

Now you factor in the last couple of months of the constant questions and speculation of whether KD is going to leave, compounded with KD himself not helping matters by purposely leaving things up in the air, and he says what says, while calling KD a bitch. And again, nothing he said wasn't true, but he shouldn't have called KD a bitch while he was doing it.

So that's the context. Draymond didn't randomly call KD out his name after a game just because he was defensive about not passing him the rock.

Like I said above, I absolutely love Draymond and have defended dude for years...you need someone to hold others accountable, unabashedly. However, it's clear here that he crossed the line and the Warriors coaching staff agreed with that.

Will it blow over? Of course. Could it play a role in KD's decision this summer? Maybe
