With their depth, not an issue to me.

Also with a returning core, you should want to be clicking at the start of the season

Not sure I like the idea of not airing it.

Imo, the best way to handle that kind of crap is to drag it out into the sunlight for everyone to see and speak out. Maybe air it with disclaimers before and after explaining the reason behind airing it.

On the other hand, I understand not wanting to associate themselves with it either. There will always be those who won't understand the point of airing it even when the point has been explained.

Not gonna lie...there's also a morbid curiosity of "what did he say that was so bad that they don't even want any quotes released".

You get your cake and eat it too if choice cuts get conveniently leaked to TMZ.

Nothing that ground breaking but a few solid points

1) Draymond’s future with the Warriors is in doubt. Even pre incident there was no guarantee he got an extension. Even murkier now.
2) Warriors can’t win another title without him this season. The kids are talented but not on Draymonds level of what he brings.
3) Poole likely signs a massive extension by Monday. Speculating in the Herro range, maybe more.

Mostly said the punishment feels light because it is. But also because why rock the boat with legal issues when both parties might recognize that this could be his last season with the team. Team dynamic might ever be the same. Team culture will be tested.

4th pick of the 3rd round

He is ranked 24th on Fantrax. Nice value. I have a draft tomorrow and the 5th pick, would he thrilled with that value.

Do you know if it's true that Kawakami is close with the Warriors' brain trust? I keep seeing people say that.

I took Embiid with my first pick and Dejourne Murray with my 2nd.
