Crack in Warriors' shield apparent: Draymond Green will turn down extension this summer if offered

[dora_da_destroyer]

Y’all keep praying for the downfall
Dray and Klay aren’t going anywhere..
Myers and Lacob are going to pay..
They are moving to SF and those tech nerds and other transplants will pay BIG to see the Warriors and to gloat to their friends..
The fans(like me) won’t be able to afford those tickets tho

I could see Dray leaving, he unquestionably is part of the reason for their 3 rings...we see how they lost that fourth when he got suspended dude's stock will never be higher, if he gets a fourth next year, time to cash out as he heads into his 30's

That's a pipe dream right there. Jordan Bell doesn't have the skill to replace green on the offensive end

bell can't do half the shyt draymond does

The nikka is a rookie and he can already protect the rim/guard the perimeter and pass. He might never be Draymond but he’s already got 3 of his most essential skills. You better believe they grooming him. What was Dray doing as a rookie anyway?

Green is much more valuable on a team like the Warriors then he would be anywhere else

His lack of shooting and scoring ability is heavily masked on GS with all their shooting and scoring surrounding him

On any another team it would be a liability

I'd be very curious to see Draymond in more of a traditionnal style of offense, because he can't really create his own shot nor is his jump shot reliable. Can't post up either. Basically it's cutting to the basket and put-backs. Hell I'd even say his dribbling and passing are overated to a degree, he also throws some horrible passes if we're honest.

I think the Warriors can work without him, because they can probably change their game more than Draymond can change his.

Draymond didn't get a shot because he probably needed to lose some weight, but also because Mark Jackson didn't understand how to use him at the time. But if you watched him play, you knew he could contribute in a lot of different ways. The fact that he turned out to be the player he is, probably helped Jordan Bell get drafted.

nikka do honestly think pels are gonna go for that deal?

Don't quote me again with bullshyt

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Draymond's going to get paid off prestige alone.


It's a team out there that can't wait to introduce him as a "4 time champion" day of the press conference

Draymond isn’t marketable like that. Lmao

Green would be valuable anywhere. His skill set would make any team better.

 

[Frump]

Him and Gobert on the defensive end tho

Add in solid/good defenders like Rubio, Mitchell and Ingles and the Jazz's defense could be insane

They wouldn’t great on D but today’s nba is more about offense and spacing the floor

Gobert great on D but because his limited offensively and was getting attacked on pick n rolls he was basically forced to the bench against the Rockets

Goberts doesn’t have the luxury Draymond has of being surrounded by shooters to mask his weakness offensively which is why him being the 2nd best player on Utah is gonna hinder them in the playoffs going forward

 

[WhoShotCha]

I can tell what nikkas never hooped becaue they think Draymond is overrated. Any nikka that actually plays will tell you that it's a dream to play with a nikka like Green. A nikka who's gonna do EVERYTHING and you don't ever have to worry about him taking from your game because he's not tryna score- but instead, play make.

Dude excels at every facet of the game except scoring but somehow he's overrated. But yall love to dikkride nikkas like Harden who only does ONE thing really well. Yall too old to be falling in love with nikkas that just can score like guys like that don't grow on trees.

 

[Frump]

Green would be valuable anywhere. His skill set would make any team better.

His limitations on offense would hurt a team eventually in the playoffs

Like Gobert who’s a beast on D eventually you’re gonna get exposed in a playoff series if you aren’t surrounded by shooters

Nobodies saying he isn’t valuable but if he’s your best player or two and isn’t surrounded by shooters it’s gonna be exposed eventually like Gobert in the Houston series

 

[e001]

If the choice is between keeping Klay and Green for the Warriors, you keep Klay.

Hell no

Don't quote me again with bullshyt

No I don't think the Pelicans would do it, but that's not what your initial argument was.

That's not possible cap wise

Be better tomorrow.

Sheeeeiiiiitttt.....Maybe not on a grand/global scale, but he has a great deal of notoriety.


He carries a championship pedigree.Teams like the Suns, Kings, Grizz etc.etc. would throw him out there as a franchise

cornerstone in a NY second

 

[surv2syn]

I think Klays game will age more gracefully

it really should depend on what they can get, Klay's skillset is easier to replace or replicate than Draymond. if you can find a suitable replacement then you get rid of Klay first. if you find a suitable replacement for Draymond, you get rid of him. yeah and Jordan Bell could end up being a very good player but he doesnt replicate Draymond's skill set. if you lose Dray, Iggy is coming to the end of his career. you lose those two playmakers/defenders, its not the same team.
