It's just a fight in practice. Those have been happening since the league began.

And the Warriors aren't about to give him to us for cheap.
There’s never been video before

Green is POS and absolutely doesn’t pass the “Would Monty let him raw dog his daughter” test but id still trade for him lol

James Jones once said “If you have team success, only then you can throw in a selfish individual — or as I call them, a mercenary — into the bunch and be able to withstand it.”

Green would absolutely be a “mercenary”. Absolutely down.

This. Yesterday, the price for Green would be high. Today? There’s absolutely no way the warriors can keep him on the team. He has to go.

Y'all seriously think they are going to trade Draymond Green because he punched Jordan Poole?

I’d trade Poole a hundred times before I trade Draymond if I’m the Warriors. As long as they have Curry, they absolutely need Draymond. Curry is not an MVP candidate without Draymond.

I lean towards no, but I think there’s a lot of stuff going on and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s traded. I don’t think they want to pay him and Draymond will cause problems if he’s not happy.

They don’t need him to be an mvp candidate. That team is loaded. Curry will have to play differently, but let’s say they get like Myles Turner for Draymond.

Curry/Poole/Klay/Wiggins/Turner

They’ve also got Moody/Kuminga/Wiseman that could either step in and help or be used to go get more help.

I agree. They should trade Poole and Moody to the Phoenix Suns for Shamet and two 1st round picks. Let’s do it!

What Changed for me is that there’s now video, and it isn’t him just punching him, it him punching him and appearing to knock him the fuck out as well. I think that’s the difference for me here, but I might be biased haha.

Not sure why pacers would want to trade turner for him tho. Green Doesn’t fit their timeline and could opt in another year. I think if they trade Turner, they want some sort younger asset and expiring contracts. Maybe a 3 team trade where green goes to the lakers, turner to warriors and Russ and picks to them?

I guess when I heard Draymond punched him, I assumed he really hit him…the video didn’t actually change my opinion much. Though it did cause it to blow up in the media.

As for Turner, ya I got that from the Simmons/Lowe podcast. They said Green/Hield to LA, Westbrook and picks to Indy, Turner to GS.

I'd trade for Draymond. He would be that connector and he could slow down Doncic, LeBron, AD, ect. Those bigger guys that give guys problems.

Hield and Green would be pretty great for the lakers…


Jae, Shamet, Landale, 1st for Green?


Would still sign Carmelo.

Would GS and NY be down for a Randle/Green swap?

Draymond is expiring right?
Well, eventually. We all do. But he's only in his early 30s. I'd like to think he has many more years in front of him.

No way Jones trades for him, especially after the video leaked.

Is TNT going to fire/punish him?
Punching your teammates worked out well for Jordan. Why not us?

By punching Poole, Greene thought he's make a big splash. And boy, did he ever.

I'm with Bob. Video or not, I don't think it'll make much of a difference on their season. This stuff happens a lot more than we know.

The Warriors aren't going to trade him for spare parts, but maybe it'll be leverage on his next contract.

Yeah, I don't buy that Draymond is going to be traded now. They love him there. He just helped win them a title. They will smooth this over and run it back and try to repeat.

Water they gonna do? I think their team is going to sink in the standings. Maybe they should see if Dwyane Wade will come out of retirement. I'd float that idea past him, see if it can wet (sic) his appetite to join the splash brothers. Then sign his wife Gabrielle Union and flipper for a future draft pick.
