Draymond Green

[KingSpeed]

I’m sure this is being discussed in other threads, but he deserves his own as he would be a 1999 Pippen-level acquisition if we got him. How do we afford him? S&T?

 

[BrianFromWA]

It is, and there are a few options (some much more likely than others).
1) Vet min.
2) MLE (depending on Taxpayer or Regular)
3) S&T. Brought up earlier, there is a chance that Draymond can say something to the effect of "I'm going to Portland. I'll either take their 12M or you can get something back and I can get 3/100M (or something)."

We don't have cap room (he's UFA) and he can't dictate the trade other than not signing the contract if he doesn't like the place they're trading him to.

Eventually I'll have some time and dig into both the roster/cap holds/etc (I'm sure someone already has, but I haven't seen one yet), and the new CBA, but time is not one of my resources en masse right now. I'm just enjoying posting a few interactions and heading back to life...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ain't happening. He's going back to Golden State, and if he wasn't, he'd be going to Sacramento, who have a coach he loves and a ton of cap room.

Ben Simmons, on the other hand...

Dame…”Listen, here’s the idea. You leave Golden State and come to Portland for less money and no chance at winning a title. How’s that sound”?

Draymond…” I don’t know, what’s the catch? It sounds almost TOO good”

According to multiple NBA sources, Draymond Green was NOT in Portland meeting with Damian Lillard regarding coming to the Blazers and all signs point to him returning to Golden State. #Ripcity

He lost me at this…..

 

[KingSpeed]

How would multiple “NBA sources” know where Dame had dinner last night?

 

[BBert]

Do we really want to pay Draymond that much money during the waning years of his effectiveness?

 

[Strenuus]

Ben Simmons, on the other hand...

Should never be anywhere close to any team. One of the worst players of all time.

 

[BassPlaya]

Sorry, got to call it as I see it. I have zero respect for any player that punches his own teammate. Any place other than sports....it's called assault.

They probably didn’t initially know, but since you, me, the interwebz knows about the dinner, they probably did some investigating. Doesn’t seem that it’d be that hard.

Add up how difficult it would be to make it work financially, and one could see how far fetched the entire scenario is.

 

[blazerfan11]

Draymond leaving Golden State would be the end of Golden State. He's not leaving.

WHY WON'T DAME RENT RESTAURANTS TO RECRUIT FREE AGENTS HERE?

 

[Tince]

Someone has some bad sources!

That’s ridiculous. He’s better than half our roster.

Can’t believe the Warriors didn’t suspend him.

Hold on, so some clown just tweeted that out and it wasn’t even true?

On the internet? Impossible! Dwight Jaynes wouldn't have a friend texting him fake news would he? He broke the story on his show....or was it all just a smokescreen? Tune in to find the real scoop!

Somebody should do a podcast on this.

Woah

Please think about this statement for a moment king. If this statement is accurate, then how would the tweet in the op know? If others wouldn't know how would the tweeter?

How would they know where he had dinner would go both ways, would it not?

I heard Dwight on the radio say it was all fake.
