2022 NBA Offseason thread

Show me where I made excuses for Draymond?

I didn’t do that.

All I said is that Poole’s behavior could end up being a problem if reports about him coming in with a different attitude from last year are true.

The source of that Chris Haynes article is very likely to be Draymond. And Draymond probably consulted with Rich Paul, LeBron, and Klutch Sports.

Andre Iguodala even posted a tweet last night to squash all the noise that Poole is a bad guy. Iguodala said that Poole has great character.

Looked good for sure.

Glad to see the Cavs starters without Mobley outplay them for a half for whatever that means. Better to play well than not.

If @WiggyRuss or @Shanemansj13 watched sure seems like Levert will be better suited coming off the bench. Not that he looked bad and appreciated he did not force anything (not even sure he took a shot with the starters) but almost like we'd be wasting his talent having him start with them. Will play some with them so, as mentioned, was good to see him not force anything.

Yep. He presents a lot of the same skill set that Mitchell and Garland brings. It’s likely better to bring him off the bench. He should be able to dominate the 2nd group most teams will run out.

Hopefully the injury bug doesn't get the Cavs this season like last.

Here is what Andre Iguodala said.



And people shouldn't be looking for other people to blame anyway. It's Draymond who is the problem, like it has been for years.

Maybe.

But how many rings do the Warriors have without him?

I am going zero.

 

[Wamu]

Big Game Bob had a ton of rings too.

Looked up Horry's numbers. Didn't realize he played 17 seasons. And didn't realize he was only a full time starter for 5 years. His first four seasons then one more time.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Ok. Not sure what that has to do with this kind of shit being on brand for Draymond.

I don't care. I hope he is gone as soon as possible. His continuing bad behavior is jeopardizing the Warriors' future. It's unlikely, but any time someone throws a punch, a serious injury could occur. And I'm sure that top prospects and impending free agents are dying to come here to get bullied by Draymond.

And it seems like he's gotten worse over the years. Now he's punching people. He's apparently become an egomaniac who cares for himself first before the team. Remember when he said that he wants to miss Warriors games so that he can be there in person when LeBron breaks the scoring record?

Just recently, he said that he cost the Warriors the 2016 Finals, but then he also says that he would 1,000% do the same thing again. It's reasonable to interpret that as Draymond saying that he doesn't care about the consequences to the team as long as he gets his point across. He tries to give a caveat by saying he wouldn't put himself in that position again with the number of flagrant foul/technical points, but the one thing we know about Draymond is that he has little self-control, so this sounds like more Draymond BS.

Draymond Green says his flagrant foul on LeBron James cost Warriors 2016 title, explains why he'd do it again

Yup, @tlance brought up a totally irrelevant point.

 

[dtgold88]

I’m gonna be ok. Phillies in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. Eagles are 4-0 and miraculously they have actually developed a QB. The Sixers are going to give me a compelling follow 82 nights plus playoffs regardless of how it works out. We won’t talk about the shit show that is the Flyers. My sports life is great right now.

ND?

 

[dtgold88]

Just being like Mike...

Lotta callers on talk radio are with you though, calling for his head. Just another hot take, we'll be on to something else in a month

Less than a week.

 

[Wamu]

ND?

I hope Marcus Freeman & Company take care of business on Saturday.

There's just something about BYU that I don't like.

ND?

School is still out. I still have faith in Freeman. First time head coach is a tough situation. I’m living it with the Eagles and Sirriani right now. He was mocked nationally for his “fertilizing” press conference. Since that presser his team is 11-4. This season is essentially over for the Irish but the state of the program is yet to be determined.

For sure.....and FWIW I'd rather see a title from the pro football team than CFB. Though I might put CFB over the other pro teams.

Minnesota academics > N.D. academics

Nice!

Are Laker fans hoping to land Draymond some time in the future? I'm curious to know how much other NBA fans want Draymond to be on their team.
