You are being too generous. If anything, I have observed he has lost more supporters in the GOAT conversation, especially after the last 2 seasons where he was swept by the Suns and failed to make the playoffs. Since he joined the Lakers 4 seasons ago, he has made the playoffs twice and won the title once, despite playing with HOFs, all stars and star calibers.. Shebi dem talk say him be LeGM? We don see him handwork. His reign with the Lakers has been disappointing, not something memorable for Lakers supporters because they have not been competitive, neither have they dominated the league.

If not COVID LeNomad's stint at Lakers it could be argued has been an unmitigated disaster.

Lol Aaron Fraudgers really stank up the joint today. Imagine getting blown out on your field to the Jets

etidy:
Why should the warriors trade Klay and draymond for CAP fillers who would no any value instead of riding out 1-2 years left in their contract and maximizing it to win more now?

i dont see a trade

I already said the Warriors are going to let their contracts run for this season at least. By next season if they fail to repeat their ears will definitely be to the streets. Unless Dray and Klay will be open to pay cuts on new deals

BlaqFaze:
Madrid go collect... normally

Hope you're enjoying your LewanGHOSTski

udatso:
I expect pedri to be out of this game after first half. If as a midfielder you aren't marking, shooting or creating passes, you are useless. No matter your flair and brilliance.. output is key

Lol. Midri

etidy:
You can't trade them without taking back almost equal Salary, then you have to consider their value is not high in the market.
The warriors have two options
1. Let them run down their contract
2. Extend their contact

A team clearing cap space will definitely take expiring contracts of Klay and Dray.

I will be shocked if they both wind down their contracts. It makes no practical sense to extend both guys. One of both will surely experience slippage and will be pushing 35 by their next extension

etidy:
Poole and Wiggins getting paid.
*Draymond they don't like you like that"
I am sure dray can smell the coffee, he needs to ball out next to get leverage with the warriors or with another team

The interesting thing here is Green has a player option for next season. So he might just opt in for a 25m payday

I have a sneaky suspicion either or both of Klay and Dray will get traded eventually. This is a lot of luxury tax to pay regardless of the success

Roland17:
Ajala is only interested in breaking records right now and playing with or against his son in the NBA. If he stays healthy he should break the record for scored points.

I think he has come to the realization that ring matter don pass and he can’t changed much because of Father Time.

Him and the Chef are tied for rings and Chef may get one more before he is done, same can’t be said of Ajala..

So na records baba dey chase every season now

Hehehe. Would be quite the trip if Steph winds up with more rings than him.

LeNomad is a smart man. He knows that to some he has already done enough to be considered the GOAT and getting that all time record for points scored would be another argument to buttress this.

Of course we would be quick to remind them that he played 5 more seasons. And failed to make the play in tournament with 4 HOFers

felix00:
Yep and the Nets look good. Kyrie really putting max effort for the contract

I like their roster. If Ben Simmons can get his head out of his a$$ and actually play like a #1 pick the Nets have a lot of potential

Think about it. 2 #1 picks and a #2 pick all younger than 35. There's no excuse or reason why they shouldn't be favorites

Be like Lakers dey continue from where they stopped from last season

Honestly, I thought any serious team would behave the same way GSW did. Bend to media pressure at your own risk. You allow it once, you put yourself in a hole you may never be confident enough to get yourself out of. They said they would handle it internally and they stuck to it. Sounds like a team in control. I still hang onto @A40 conspiracy theory though. . I don't know, it's getting more believable every day. Perhaps the deed itself wasn't predicted, but i suppose it created an opportunity to create leverage that can put all the Draymond max talk away. As in there was already a high probability you won't get a huge deal from any other team(given his limited and local skillset), and now there's an evident dent to his reputation seen by all. It kind of significantly negates the role his significance in the team's previous achievements could play in his next contract. And you can trust the NBA, they always find something new for the media to chew on. . Now we gotta see how this affects the team. Some media pundits have already ruled GSW out of title contention because of this(Not that it's not fair). That's not new and I love it.

I don't know if it's about bending to the media pressure, it's more of how are the Warriors holding Draymond accountable. You see Kerr coming to the stage looking fake distressed talking about it's the worst crisis he's ever faced and yet no punishment? That's highly contradictory

I don't really care how they chose to handle it, it's ultimately Poole's choice to decide if he wants to move on or not. However moving forward if Draymond does something even more stupid then Draymond can no longer be the only villain. Kerr and the Warriors organization are now accomplices as well. And all that song and dance would be phony

Barring injuries I don't see how the Warriors are not favorites. Of course they might ultimately fail but it won't be because of the incident. If the Warriors will be able to keep Poole, Wiggins, Green then I don't see the point of a salary cap. Someone is going to have to go regardless

birdman:
Draymond knows who can try that with.

To me, that team doesnt have a leader. Steph is an all time great, but he is not always accorded that respect, because he shies away from leadership issues. If you are a leader, its not just your individual performance we look at. Can you command respect from the team and keep everyone in line.

Every time Draymond gets disciplined its Kerr taking the heat. Steph go do like sey nothing dey happen. A vital member of your championship team got knocked out, and you got nothing to say? Thats some weak stuff right there. I said what I said!

They have leadership by committee. Steph is not the leader but he's respected and revered. I've never seen Draymond carry him craze meet Steph

Draymond has been enabled from top to bottom. There is little Steph can do when Kerr and the Warriors front office lack the chutzpah to do the right thing

FergieRaww:
This story never still clear yet..

e get wetin Barka do Muller wey we no know about? cause the thing dey too personal

E go explain am to us one day for podcast

Sportsweb:
A40 warned una. Bayern will never want to lose that game.

I don't think they will even agree to rest players that day

Hehehehe. I even thought it was the last game as it has been in the past. Still need a draw to at least confirm top spot.

Even if the rest of Bayern forgive Barcelona I no sure say Thomas Muller go gree Forgiveness oh.

All Barca had to do was draw both games or win one game. They were missing Lukaku and Brozovic. No excuse

Ijo yoyo. Ijo yoyo

Are we dancing Ijo yoyo today?

Roland17:
Stepping out of line because no one has stood up to him.. Tell me which player has stood up to Green’s excesses on the court and off the court inside that Warriors locker room? He trolls everyone but he gets trolled and he is in his feelings? The last time checked, he invaded Poole’s space.

I don’t think Poole said anything was out of bounds when it comes to banters. Those were banters and not insults. I have watched semi pro teams train and you will not imagine the sort of banters that go on.

The difference here is that Green has been used to being the one doing all the talking and chest beating with no one taking him up! Now for the first time, there is someone in the locker room that can make fun of his horrible FT and other banters.

Poole should have expected this can anywhere when Green started showing obvious frustrations and be prepared for a fight. Fights happen in the locker room, it’s a normal thing.

He is lucky that it was Poole, another player wen no well would have gone all out.. Na that time you go see rookie they beat vet.

Green is as soft as they come!

I saw Draymond's mom's tweet and everything made sense.

This is someone who slapped some kid in Michigan some years back, we saw his shenanigans in the playoffs. We saw it with Kerr, with KD and now we're here.

This pattern of enablement right from infancy is what's got all parties involved to this point.

I don't know what else Poole is to do there when another adult man walks 5 miles to chest bump and invade your personal space. Was he supposed to lick his earlobes and whisper sweet nothings to his ear. Or maybe bite him like Tyson.

Anyway na Poole fvckup. Any adult man wey near me like that now if I no take nodding tear your nose make I know wetin cause am.

Roland17:
@A40 hockey don start today oh.

Thought it started this weekend.

These schedules are confusing as hell.

Let's see if the Avalanche can repeat. Still have them as the favorites despite losing Kadri. Holding on to Nichuskin and then with a defenseman like Makar who is not even in his prime yet

typicalgamer:
I meant draymond should try punching haslem or butler and let’s see how that plays out

Lol. When him no dey craze

typicalgamer:
Try that with udonis haslem,

Does Haslem behave like a donkey like Draymond? When you don't move like Agbaya younger players tend to respect you

Segedinho:
wetin dey sup here nao..?

https://mobile.twitter.com/ChudeMedia/status/1579503945147650050

Na why I no dey ever doubt the drug thing them dey always tie to am.

Everything about their operation screams Gambino, Genovese. Mafia family

KNIGHTBlaed:
My thoughts too. Not like I support what the foolish Draymond did, but that Poole go get some gbana for head. Abi no be him push him senior colleague there. No matter what, he should not have pushed him, na to just dey look am make others around come take the foolish donkey away. But he go push am

Nope. If an adult man. Whether colleague or stranger invades your space and is chest bumping and grinding on you what is your default instinct?

Do you push him away or turn it to a make out session. Green would not try this with player wey dey craze cause na him go first punch Draymond for face knowing fully well teammates go separate

Look the distance wey him waka to go meet am. There's guys that would have punched Draymond straight no questions asked. You don't get that close to another adult man

raumdeuter:
Thiago delivering idea ball for Liverpool

Where is Kendrick Lamar? I hope he's enjoying that 5 yard pass merchant

They're facing City next we shall see whether he gets swallowed in another big game again

DeadPresidents:
Where are all the Liverpool monikers that used to swarm this thread to make noise?

Did they get sealed into an earthen pot?

Shey they said they don't miss Mane

Anyway looking forward to them falling back to their Europa League level that they were before SuperMané came to the rescue

benji93:
Interesting. For such a sophisticated team I won't be surprised. .That would an interesting way to humble him and force him to take a much lower deal without any backlash, especially from the veterans, going all sentimental. Some may even go as far as saying, perhaps he deserves a veteran minimum. I don't know but I like your conspiracy theory.

Let them enjoy. He's the monster that they made. Player wey dey rake for coach, rake for best player for team at the time, rake now for youngin wey e suppose dey mentor

Not like the raking is actually to make players better it's just out of say e fit chance them

I want to see if there's some team out there willing to pay him. What I find most amusing in all of this though is the fact that the guy that always has something to say suddenly can't find his tongue

No podcasts no nothing

Salute to the 2x World Champion. Super Max Verstappen. Masterful display once again despite the scary conditions. Pure dominance

With 5 races to spare.

I also observe say Hamilton supporters don abandon thread. This life no be so oh

Some things will never change. Aaron Fraudgers fraudulenting once again with the game on the line. Got sonned by Daniel Jones. Forever fraud

He got a bruised skull and won't be available for some time.
Stanisic will have to step in vs Plzen

Let's beat Plzen and almost qualify

I legit lost interest in the game after that happened. This kid just got back from a heart issue and now this. Shocking too that Bellingham only got a yellow card

Plzen is walk over. No long thing

Kahn's reaction to that late equalizer was priceless. This Bayern team is one rollercoaster ride I'd tell you that

Blueelf:
TBH, any sane GSW fan would push for the same

The annoying thing is that, he would be given a very light punishment. And this dude brings nothing to the team. Adds nothing either offensively and isn't as good a defender as he used to be

I also wish he is traded. I have had enough of his nonsense

The Warriors have always been a woke establishment, at least since these current guys came along

Time to practice what they preach.

My sinister feeling is that they leaked this video to hurt his leverage negotiating an extension. So they don't want to go all in on him so it looks like they have his back despite all the backlash and then he's obliged to not pursue any free agent offer. Though on the other hand it seems like a lot of trouble for a player I doubt any right thinking GM would give significant money at 33/34

Roland17:
Truth is, the Warriors have enough quality to overcome Green’s deficits and weaknesses. Let me assure you though that worse things have happened on the locker room but it doesn’t justify what we saw in that video.

Green is at the fore front of taking owners teams in the name of accountability, I hope NBA players and the union can keep the same energy in keeping him accountable. With the same energy I hope he gets canceled on TNT the same way he makes noise about issues affecting NBA players

Mr New Media has been awfully quiet.

Na who dem catch be thief and this incident is way too egregious to overlook. I strongly suspect the league would advice the Warriors to give Green 1 or 2 games suspension

I'm pretty sure they will have to pick between Poole and Green long term and truthfully speaking it's an easy call to make

Did you see how Draymond loaded that punch. Don't need a juju man to know there was underlying beef there.

The result is unimportant. All I'm concerned about is Alphonso Davies and hopefully no concussion or any long term head issues

SmooshCHN:
Draymond be starting sh1t and it's annoying. You're not the biggest asset on the team to be acting a f0ol from time to time. Fans are talking about how he's the leader bla bla bla. What kind of leader is that? And in typical warriors fashion they are more concerned about who leaked the video. Hold this dude accountable.

The conspiracy theorist side of me tells me the Warriors deliberately leaked that
