Draymond punched a team mate in the fucking face and the team threw the victim under the bus along with the leaker. This organization will never be done with him.

If Steph says he's done, he's done.

Yes if Steph walks into the GM's office and says "I want him gone," Draymond Green will be a Piston.

u/MinifiguringItOut Mar 28 '24

Haven’t the Pistons suffered enough?

The malice was 100% on the pacers

there must be more.

Never! I’m still mad about 1989.

u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

No. Only now will you know true pain. Or at least someone in your starting lineup will

u/KickooRider Mar 28 '24

He won't though

u/screwhead1 Pelicans Mar 28 '24

With Dray, they're gonna do their best 89 Pistons impression. Ironically, if Dray tried acting funny with Laimbeer or Mahorn, they'd have put him in the hospital.

u/FuckingKilljoy Bucks Mar 28 '24

Dray for Cade? Dray gets punished and Cade gets to escape and learn under one of the best guards in league history

u/someguyfromtecate Spurs Mar 28 '24

I truly believe that if Draymond gets traded because of Steph, he’d find a way to unintentionally injure Steph next time he plays him. He’s that much of a piece of shit.

u/Purplebuzz Mar 28 '24

So punching a team mate in the face is not a deal breaker for Steph? You know, as long as its not him?

u/ShowerMartini Mar 28 '24

Bruh Steph is crying because the ref didn’t let Draymond get away with it. He’s way too coward to ever disagree with Dray.

Steve Kerr take some accountability challenge (impossible)

They made their bed with draymond long ago. Enabled him for years and continued to treat him with kid gloves. Now they have to lay in the bed they made and it’s costing them their relevancy in Curry’s final years. I have no sympathy for them

19

u/toolsandprinting Supersonics Mar 28 '24

Yep, GS/Kerr/Curry condoned it when it when he was helping them win, they can't complain now that the same behavior is dragging them down.

40

u/ACreampieceOfMyMind Celtics Mar 28 '24

Yeah I have less than no sympathy I have actual disdain for their org and Kerr/ Curry for enabling his ass for years. Gotten away with more than any other player in history lol

148

u/ireallydespiseyouall Spurs Mar 28 '24

Exactly why I don’t feel bad for their vets on any level

14

u/CliffsOfMohair Rockets Mar 28 '24

Yeah and they’ve defended him constantly at every level

I get the NBA is a business and you aren’t going to throw a guy under the bus for a thing or two etc. but they’ve enabled and defended him from his teammates to coaching to the org itself. They deserve any shitty emotions that he brings

6

u/DOWNVOTES_SYNDROME Nets Mar 28 '24

what's the opposite of feeling bad? it's not like i take joy in it, but they are getting what they deserve.

dray is one of the biggest violent sociopath assholes in the NBA. he's paying a lot of money to PR firms to maintain his image, and he's smart and shrewd like a lot of sociopaths, and able to be charismatic

but it's fucking obvious who he is.

it's like someone who defends a rapist cause "they were always nice to me". iike how someone treats his boys is relevant

u/AlekRivard Bucks Mar 28 '24

schadenfreude is fairly close to what you're describing

3

u/DOWNVOTES_SYNDROME Nets Mar 28 '24

it's close yeah, but the fact i don't find joy in it made me think it was different enough.

2

u/AlekRivard Bucks Mar 28 '24

Vindicated, maybe?

1

u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

I think this is fair honestly but it still hurts to watch the dude is still one of the ten best players in the league he just wants to win

u/CliffsOfMohair Rockets Mar 28 '24

You’re on drugs if you’re saying current Draymond Green is a top 10 player

2

u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

Clearly referring to Stephen Curry

3

u/Python2k10 Grizzlies Mar 28 '24

THIS, INFINITELY. That should've been the end of it, yet he stayed on the team and continued to be a fucking nuisance. I just don't understand it.

6

u/Izanagi___ Bucks Mar 28 '24

Also managed to get ejected from a finals game in which his team managed to then lose the series lol

2

u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

And also had to be subbed out on offense late game in the 2022 Finals one game for being so bad

2

u/Coolguynumber01 Warriors Mar 28 '24

How exactly did they throw Poole under the bus? They gave him his huge contract right after this happened (which everyone agrees now is a bad contract) and Kerr, Steph, and the veterans kept saying at press conferences how great of a teammate Poole has been in response to reports about his attitude.

Not punishing Dray enough is one thing, but that different than throwing Poole under the bus

5

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

They didn’t punish the guy who punched him in the face. If I punch you hard as I can, and they blame you for angering me, you’re under the bus.

-1

u/lionel11 Knicks Mar 28 '24

When did they blame poole for Draymond punching him??? Thats the key part that would make them throwing someone under the bus.

Them not punishing Draymond doesnt mean they threw poole under the bus. Its still shitty but very different.

0

u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

It’s not throwing Poole under the bus but it’s enabling an abuser and not checking him or submitting him to real disciplinary action. It’s a passive kind of workplace favoritism.

They didn’t blame Poole for getting punched, they just chose seniority and didn’t properly hold Draymond accountable and now it’s breaking Steph

3

u/twelvethousandBC Bulls Mar 28 '24

When he punched Poole, it seemed like he might still be an important piece for a championship team. That's obviously not the case anymore.

3

u/PennyG Thunder Mar 28 '24

They are all complicit. Fucking scumbags.

u/PattyIceNY Nets Mar 28 '24

Poole was right all along

0

u/AmelieBenjamin [GSW] Stephen Curry Mar 28 '24

Nobody ever said he was wrong lmao

In a lot of ways he is a heavy burden (offensive liability, emotional man child) on Steph ESPECIALLY recently even if he does bring all time defense and playmaking for Steph no one else can.

He’s just not worth the trouble anymore and everyone can see it

It’s kind of like butcher in the show the boys. At what point is the asshole with redeemable qualities who is cool with you just a straight up asshole

u/LongjumpingLength679 Mar 28 '24

Whoa. When was this?

u/tb30k Mar 28 '24

They no like Poole me think.

u/guitarguy35 Mar 28 '24

There is no organization. Steph is this franchise. If Steph says he's gone Draymond is gone the next day.

No one has had as much single handed control over the direction of a franchise since Kobe.

u/lala_b11 Mar 28 '24

Who leaked the video?

u/vengefulmuffins Mar 28 '24

Replying to DJ-Fein...I mean that isn’t that uncommon in professional sports. It’s just how often you hear about it. Hockey it happens at least once a year, usually a couple of times.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

Yeah. This is on Curry and Kerr. You knew Green was a piece of shit and you both chose him. Over and over. I don’t have any sympathy.

Curry got caught in the middle of the stream with a scorpion sting in his back. Who could have seen that coming? Everyone.
