This just shows your level of basketball understanding. Draymond does not have assists because he is the guy that plays the pass before the assist pass. It's like saying Modric does not have huge assists numbers so he is not a good midfielder.
GSW offense is one that needs an initial initiator and is predicated on continuous ball movement with players knowing where to be based, on where the ball currently is.
You say what does Draymond do, I say watch how many times in a game he is pointing where one of the others is supposed to stand or, where the pass is supposed to go, or when he is pushing his own players away from where they are, because that is where Steph is supposed to relocate to. Draymond has the highest basket IQ on the team and it's not even an argument, so please know what he does before you start saying he does nothing.

He does nothing special. I have asked you if he is averaging up to 9 assists sef. You came with story.

Baba does nothing special....nothing at all

So Declan rice rejects a contract bid from his own club and believes his own hype



Wonders shall never cease. Na English media dey cause this kind nonsense

Khanben:
A logical argument would have been to attach a contract to Wiseman and get back bodies that can actually help right now. Not trade a top 5 player and a top 3 defender. You saying Payton and Poole are the best players shows either how little basketball you watch or if you do watch them how much you don't understand.
Payton plays well on defense and in transition because he does not have to carry the offensive load, Poole is balling because defenses are not schemed to stop him and so he always has maybe the 2nd or 3rd best wing defender on him without any help at all.
Make Poole the focus of the defense and watch him crumble immediately, dude has never faced a trap defense and you are already anointing him as the not just the heir to Steph but also the reason for trading him. Baba you too funny

You really do have comprehension issues. I knew it. You may even be typing with the help of a translator..who knows?

I said, make Poole focus of offense and get a legit big man defender. If possible trade looney and green for a big like the 7ft guy in Utah....if the jazz would agree that is

Poole is a more efficient scorer and plays his heart out every game because he has a lot to prove. Steph and green has won it all and play like they are being forced to..especially Steph. Which serious player runs a podcast during a playoffs series ? Not a serious player for sure

Khanben:
Rodman was a offensive liability too, Dirk was a defensive liability. I will be tactful and just assume you don't watch the games you only just look at boxscores. Klay who has been missing defensive assignments like Harden and bricking shots like Westbrook is the person who is playing both side of the ball, baba abeg watch games not boxscores.

Dude just came back from an injury. I trust in a Klay Thompson and trust he'll be back strong next season

S.ey there make pant dey wear you

Khanben:
The last 20 games of the season you keep hammering is a perfect snap shot of what Draymond does for GSW.
Dude is a top 3 defender in the league and practically runs the offense. Asking what Draymond does is like asking what did Rodman, Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen all do in their playing days.

There's nothing Draymond does offensively that no other person in the league does. There's nothing special in what he does. You're acting like he's averaging ten assists per game. Is he?

The dude doesn't even average double figures in points. So what is he doing?

Abeg make we hear word. At least stats don't lie

benji93:
You know it's a good thing you don't occupy any management role at GSW.

You can't argue with what I said

Steph is a defensive liability yes or no?

Draymond is an offensive liability yes or no?

Klay plays both sides of the floor well yes or no?

Steph is just stat padding these days and doesn't really care if the team wins or losses yes or no?

Khanben:
So your idea is to trade the best player, and the best facilitator and defender from the team and leave the 30+ year old wing player, who not only just missed nearly 3 years of basketball, but we are also not sure he can get back to his pre-injury form. Your GM skills need a lot of work

Yes I would do so

Because e have a Payton and Jordan Poole who arguably has been our best player in the playoffs

That's the bold step I would take. You saw me say - take the bold step right unless you have comprehension issues

Besides Curry has been playing very badly since before the all star break. Right now curry is only a threat from three and even that is slowly fading. Many players shot better than him from beyond the arc this season. This is the beginning of the end for Steph curry.

As for Draymond, man doesn't bring anything to the table - either offense or defense. How can you expect a 6'6 dude to guard Adams...no matter how stubborn Draymond is, he can't do anything against a human freight train like Adams.

I would focus on my young talents like Wiseman, kuminga et al. even if it means missing the playoffs next season. I like to think long term

etidy:
I am a warrior fan but much of the Fandom are blinded by loyalty.

The warriors were mediocre for the last 20 games of the season.
This is their identity this season.

Thank you for pointing this out

Exactly what I have been trying to imply

How the Bleep did we think we could get through without a traditional centre

Draymond is 6'6 at best. He isn't a traditional centre. I don't even though what that dude brings to the team apart from unnecessary shouts and triple singles.

Draymond needs to leave. And we trade him for a traditional big man abeg

GSW front office needs to take the bold step and trade either Steph or Draymond and leave Klay Thompson.

Steph is a defensive liability who is no longer a 3pt threat. These days, he's just an inefficient volume shooter

Draymond is an offensive liability who is punching way above his weight by playing centre.

Either of one of them should be traded asap

GSW has been shit this season..and this is coming from a concerned fan

GSW should just loose and do the whole league a favor

They will go and get swept by Dallas in the WCF

When I told my fellow GSW fans that we ain't winning the championship, you guys doubted my fandom claims, hope y'all can see it now

Getting blown out by 35 at Memphis is not championship calibre. The truth is, GSW needs someone like KD as much as KD also needs a team like GSW. GSW fans don't like to admit it but it's true. Having some mediocres on the bench like Bjelica and Porter doesn't cut it at all

I doubt we're even beating Memphis at home

This is the bitter truth. Even if we get to the WCF, ain't no way I'm hell we going past Phoenix

BascoVanVeli:
The bucks are a great defensive team because of Jrue and Giannis. The others just give effort but those 2 are actually stoppers. I could add Brook Lopez cos of his rim protection.

And the bucks would win it again no doubt

Phoenix and Celtics can only try butthe result will be the same

Bucks have way too much firepower

But what is happening to floor general now?

Agent8706:
As a Liverpool rival (not hater, actually love Liverpool, Diaz and Mane are my niggaz), the saying that the enemy of my enemy is a friend never made more sense than it did today. Those LA Liga supporters touts make too much noise abeg! See the way they were shouting up and down in the first half as if heaven wan fall down, where all of them dey now

God abeg favor us tomorrow make this thing be an all English final and then let's decide once and for all who the boss of epl is....

Liverpool fans una get mouth too sha but today, we stand solidify behind una...YNWA

We don't need you to stand behind us

Go and stand behind Man Shitty

andrewbaba44:
As for grealish guardiola no try

Na City board buy am though ,pep didn’t really want him

That's england for you

They know how to hype average players

That's why one Uncle here said Diaz won't make Fulham team and Porto will be beaten by Leicester

Toyade888:
hope you have called the idiot to tell him how wise he is

Asabe4:
Liverpool knows how to get the job done!!

Congratulations to them.. hopefully, they win the CL trophy, after we beat them in FA finals

Deluded Chelsea fan

Na only glass cup Ina go win this season

Hanibal:
As at December 2021, Luiz Diaz was part of the Porto team, and according to Komekn back then he( Diaz) isn't good enough to make the Fulham team

Oga komekn comments sometimes Sha

andrewbaba44:
Another deluded epl fan boy

I love how Luís diaz is faring at the epl

Don't mind them jare

andrewbaba44:
Another deluded epl fan boy

I love how Luís diaz is faring at the epl

At least we didn't buy Duaz with over 80m Euros unlike a certain Grealish

# Fraudiola

Long time my bro

Skrrrrrrr:
Lol. Emphasizing that you are a GSW fan makes you damn suspect...
Even with an incomplete team, the warriors beat the bucks.
It was 1-1 and the warriors were without Draymond in the first and curry in the second.
And the warriors won't miss their 3s like the Celtics.

I'm a fan but it wouldn't be wise for us to deny our weaknesses

Milwaukee would exploit it to their advantage

I can't see us winning in any way

However, that we would even reach the final is an achievement I would still cherish

steady986:
Una don start again

This isn't a place for fans whose teams couldn't even make play-in

Lebron...more like Lefraud

Memberclub:
Bucks have size abeg. This ain’t Brooklyn

That's why even as a GSW fan, I gotta admit that even if we manage to beat Phoenix and make it out of the west, I doubt we can beat Milwaukee.

Their Size is just too much for Draymond to handle

I wonder what GSW coaches are thinking relying on a barely 6'7 Draymond for defense

A40:
That final play from the Grizzlies was not good enough. Having Ja run to the basket to attempt a contested running 2

Sometimes you gotta understand that as fast as Ja is he's not faster than the ball

That's wasn't in the team

That was Ja as usual seeking for the spotlight

A good jumper from him would've been enough but as always, the guy dey find highlight

The inexperience of Memphis would cost them this series

And as a GSW fan, I gotta admit that dray deserved that ejection. That guy for don use head back ground. Such injuries could prove fatal

andrewbaba44:


Clown

I'm actually not trolling this time. To be honest

It's actually been painful for me

A good number of our players play regularly for Europe top leagues. A good number are in goal-scoring form

A good number are currently in European tournaments with their clubs.

How we didn't qualify for the WC still baffles me till today

It's painful but we move

Mehnnnnnnn
From headache to fever then typhoid or whatever. They gast to admit her in a hospital. One month babe never well..

Can't forget that night was driving to oregun total around Ikeja when my phone rang I was told UFQB wanted to see me that it was urgent! Straight I turn back got to the hospital! Shawty said she wanted two aside!!

We talked... People say when you are about to die you will know. This girl just dey talk like say she knew her time was up. All I kept saying was you will be fine please be optimistic .

Make I go outside pick up something for car and ring who I wanted to go meet at oregun. Shawty don give up the ghost.

I nearly ran mad that day!! Be like mirage for my eyes.. God be taking the good ones!! I still see her in my dreams!!


Mama know your boy got a kid now and I named her after you

Wherever you are I know you are in a better place way better than this shvthole called life!!

Death is another form of life!
We go meet again...

I hope it's not your mum you're calling shawty?

Na WA ooo

komekn:
It's amazing how casually we use the word flop and with a double standard.

I don't think he has FLOPPED, what were the expectations on him in the first place.

He has left Aston Villa where he was the center piece of the team. With license to do ehatebyhr likes. Things have changed he is no longer the big fish in the small pond. He will have to adapt, adjust and overcome.

Look at Messi in PSG you could say he had FLOPPED too, he is no longer the centre of attention and where the whole team is set up for him to thrive.

If we said on this forum that KC has FLOPPED there will be hell fire and brimstone. If we said Omeruo after being bought by Chelsea even playing in the Championship but unable to progress has FLOPPED or Awaziem after going to Porto couldn't progress even after time in French League had FLOPPED now in the backwaters of Turkish league. Let's not even talk of Nwakali there will be continued rancour and contention and the allegations of HATE.

Awaziem, Omeruo flopped

You won't get rancor from me for that

So did KC Nacho flop. Although to a lesser degree compared to the above 2 players.

Nwakali flopped too

You may get hell from the others but not from me

Amedino99:
Try to check before you post. Na who klopp don buy from Aston villa now

I meant to say Pep Frauduola

TheGoodJoe:
Klopp did that by buying Alisson, Van Dijk and co. Free of charge. Wonderful.

The amount paid for Salah mane and firmino pales in comparison to what man City spent to acquire their players

I won't argue further

mostob:
There's no assurance that Pep wouldn't have done the same thing Klopp is doing with Liverpool...what made you think so sef?
Klopp is trying and is a top coach but don't make it look as if he's doing something extraordinary.

As for Grealish, he is English so the transfer fee is expected. And don't dare write him off yet...as far as Pep is still around

The fact is that Pep would've rejected Liverpool had we sought to sign him as Coach back then

He is looking for ready made clubs or clubs that would give him big transfer budget

mostob:
Buying players is one thing, knowing how to use them is another thing entirely. VVD, White and Maguire were all big money signings but we know how it's today. Sancho was also a big money signing but baba still dey struggle.
If we're really talking about big spenders, are Chelsea and Liverpool not guilty of this too? And how many big signings did Pep made when he won the sextuple at Barca. Abeg make una cut Pep some slacks. Person wey good, good jare

Pep is overrated

He won't have done the same thing Klopp is doing with Liverpool

Also, Grealish has flopped so far. Klopp just donated 100m to the Aston Villa Charity
