Leaning down over an NBA player is probably not going to go well for you.

His head did not go past the cameraman that was in front of him. He leaned over the cameraman, he didn't get in Klay's face.

Also depends on what he said to him. Guy rightfully got tossed. Not sure why he thinks he has the right to get in anyone's face.

That's actually pretty lame that they tossed him out.

Depends on what he said. Let's say he yelled a racist word in Klay's face. What then? We don't know what the fan said or if he slobbered on him when he said it.

I actually thought the guy might have accidentally spit on him in the heat of the moment. Chris Christie didn't get kicked out of that game when he asked for a beating in front of everyone. Which I'd have happily provided if I were the other guy.

Klay is in his lap. Unless he went above and beyond (the video does not suggest this) I wouldn't have tossed him.

He had to have said something way over the top.

Well, I won't be surprised if a lawsuit is coming. Even though I'm sure it is plainly written on the tickets that they can throw people out for any reason.
 
On The Ringer podcast, they said Warriors are trying to make this happen. What would a trade look like? Klay/Draymond for Davis?
 
And the dude suggested they go after him, not that the Warriors are trying to trade for him. Cmon now.

That would fucking suck. Sounds improbable though. I don't think the Pels trade Davis. If it did happen yeah it would probably include Green but not Klay...something like Green, Inguadala, bell, and some picks....

It wasn't a suggestion. I shouldn't have labeled this rumor. It's actually news. Warriors are working on it.
 
That would be a dumb trade for the Warriors. If I'm New Olreans, I jump on it.
 
I actually hope that happens. Draymond is the most important player on the Warriors. That team has no reason to want to change anything, the only way they can fuck it up is with something like this.

No they're not. A reputable source would've retorted out if they were, not just "The Ringer" ave "The InQuisitr".

You're smarter than this.
 
It comes from Tim Kawakami, a former Warriors beat writer who's now working for The Athletic. And what he said is that the Warriors are always working on "if everything lines up just right" moves in the background, keeping things flexible in case a fantastic opportunity comes along. They did the same in regards to Durant a few years ahead of time and that actually did all come together. They are not working on it like it's a priority currently. It's leaving themselves in a position to make a play in a couple of years, if things lined up, when having four max deals might not be feasible but consolidating a couple (like Thompson and Green) into one gigantic star might extend the run.

So you're saying they play chess, not checkers?
 
Do the Warriors need more scoring? They would not be as good defensively in that scenario.
 
Ok y'all, I'm really cracking down on the ancillary threads that belong in the Around the NBA thread. Lots of merging lately... think about if it's a thread worthy of its own thread or belongs here.

Quick cheat sheet:

If it's about the blazers, or a blazers player that was of high interest (LA, Wes, Batum, Fatty, etc) make a thread by itself

If it has no implications of a blazer trade, or a blazer (Think anthony davis, or any other player that's not involved in a rumor with the blazers in a direct trade to the blazers) it goes here, or in the corresponding month of the Around the NBA.

Gonna keep merging threads, but please, consider this when you make a thread.

There's very little grey here, so don't look for loopholes. But it's about time we clean up the sidewalk a bit.
