Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show. This is episode
Speaker 1: and our first episode of the off season for the podcast. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a lot going on this last
Speaker 1: week or so. I feel like I'm finally starting to
Speaker 1: get my bearings and just like my my my legs
Speaker 1: back under me and and but most importantly my mind,
Speaker 1: um when going through the playoffs. Well before we get
Speaker 1: into this, um, it's been a great week. As you know,
Speaker 1: the parade was absolutely incredible, which we'll discuss a little
Speaker 1: more about that. But as I mentioned, this is the
Speaker 1: first episode of the off season and We're about to
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. What do I mean by we're
Speaker 1: about to hit the ground running? If you have not
Speaker 1: seen doing a live podcast recording slash show in New
Speaker 1: York City Monday night with JJ Reddit, the new media
Speaker 1: is going to be absolutely insane. Uh. The podcast will
Speaker 1: live in the normal pod cast fees. So if you
Speaker 1: can't make the podcast, there was or or the show.
Speaker 1: There were not a ton of tickets as it is
Speaker 1: a smaller venue. So and then obviously it's the summertime
Speaker 1: when people are traveling and blah blah blah. If you
Speaker 1: can't make it, the podcast will live where every other
Speaker 1: episode live, and you'll be able to check it out.
Speaker 1: So don't fret. My pet will be just fine. But
Speaker 1: in saying that, as you know, the parade was about
Speaker 1: almost a week ago and it was great. Why was
Speaker 1: the parade grade? I must I must be honest. Um,
Speaker 1: after having parades in Oakland, I was a little nervous
Speaker 1: because I just didn't know what to expect. I am
Speaker 1: the type of person like I like things to stay
Speaker 1: the same. Um, I'm very shy, which most people will
Speaker 1: never believe. When it comes to like new people, I
Speaker 1: it does not work well with me. It takes me
Speaker 1: a while to get comfortable with people like I just
Speaker 1: like things to say. I said all of that to
Speaker 1: say after having three parades in Oakland and then coming
Speaker 1: to San Francisco and having a parade, I was a
Speaker 1: little skeptical about it because I just didn't know what
Speaker 1: to expect. And I love my oak Oakland family as
Speaker 1: Oakland will always be a home, second home to me.
Speaker 1: Really grew up there and became a man, not like
Speaker 1: grew up like we know, I'm sacking of Michigan through
Speaker 1: and through baby, that doesn't change. But I grew into
Speaker 1: a man in the city of Oakland, so that place
Speaker 1: will always have a special place in my heart. Never change.
Speaker 1: But if I'm ranking parades, because we live in this
Speaker 1: society that's always trying to like rank and compare, uh,
Speaker 1: dumb shit. Um. I think that may have been the
Speaker 1: best parade. Why was it the best parade? Um for
Speaker 1: a few reasons. Number one, Steph Curry was acting up
Speaker 1: and you just never see that, Like when we wont before,
Speaker 1: Steph didn't act up. Steph was acting up. Clay Thompson
Speaker 1: was acting up. I mean this man, by the way,
Speaker 1: I know we all saw the video, or if you
Speaker 1: have not seen the video, please go to your Instagram
Speaker 1: and find the video of Clay Thompson stumbling. The guy
Speaker 1: stumbled five steps then he hits He like runs over
Speaker 1: the girl and immediately catches his balance, which was the
Speaker 1: great parts, like you run this girl over and that's
Speaker 1: how you catch your balance. If that girl was not
Speaker 1: right there, the girl that Clay Thompson ran over, I
Speaker 1: mean that ends badly for Clay number one. He's tripping
Speaker 1: on a little like I don't know what these calls,
Speaker 1: so forgive me and all the smart people out there.
Speaker 1: That's gonna comedy black. It's called this thanks in advance.
Speaker 1: But the metal the cage thing that's all over the
Speaker 1: streets and there sometimes on the side, he's like tripping
Speaker 1: and I know, like in that situation, it's it's for
Speaker 1: it's probably for the train system, the Bark or whatever
Speaker 1: train system runs, whatever transportation system I should say runs
Speaker 1: downtown San Francisco on Market Street. I'm sure that's why
Speaker 1: the cage thing is there for that. But he's like
Speaker 1: tripping over that, and if he falls on that thing,
Speaker 1: that does not end well. Quite frankly, he runs the
Speaker 1: girl and save himself. I thought that was absolutely the
Speaker 1: highlight of the parade. Um, or maybe Clay Thompson losing
Speaker 1: one of his rings. Now to show y'all how much
Speaker 1: of a fog I've been in. Clay had his rings,
Speaker 1: Steph had his rings, Bob had his rings, and I
Speaker 1: had told myself days leading up to the parade, like
Speaker 1: I need to get my rings because I don't keep
Speaker 1: them in the house like they're in a safe location, right,
Speaker 1: I need to get my rings. Totally forgot. See those
Speaker 1: guys beginning to pray like I forgot my rings. Then
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson goes on to lose his one of his rings,
Speaker 1: and I think he found it, but I'd be the
Speaker 1: one who definitely lose the rings. So it's probably best
Speaker 1: that I did not give my rings, um, and I
Speaker 1: just I talked to my ship anyway, like I had
Speaker 1: my rings. So it was great, But man, Um, the
Speaker 1: fog that I've been number one for all our loyal
Speaker 1: supporters out there are listeners, I hope you listen to
Speaker 1: the podcast that I did right after the finals, and
Speaker 1: it was absolutely horseship. Why was it absolutely terrible? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why it was great. Having Andre on, Like,
Speaker 1: that's surreal, Like to have him on in that moment,
Speaker 1: like right after we win, great, Like you know, you
Speaker 1: get Clay Thompson on as about as long as you
Speaker 1: can get Clay to focus. We we kept him as
Speaker 1: long as we could get him to focus. Absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1: Getting GP on there, absolutely amazing. Even the cameo by
Speaker 1: the rook who can't stay focused for twenty seconds and
Speaker 1: answer some questions. It's great. Having those guys own is incredible.
Speaker 1: Why was it terrible? It was terrible because I was
Speaker 1: still in the fog. I didn't know what was going on. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you you probably watched that and be like
Speaker 1: Draymond didn't give us much of anything. I had nothing
Speaker 1: left to give. I was absolutely exhausted, um and again
Speaker 1: and further explaining the fog that I was in. I
Speaker 1: totally missed the Champagne celebration. Totally missed it. They like
Speaker 1: did a little small dude over for me when I
Speaker 1: when I came in the locker room. As you know,
Speaker 1: if you watch the if you see any if you
Speaker 1: watch any of the clips that the Warriors supposed to
Speaker 1: from Champagne celebration, you'll notice you only see me in
Speaker 1: like a five second clip, maybe for five seconds, and
Speaker 1: it's really just me sitting there spreading the champagne because
Speaker 1: I missed the whole celebration again just in the fall
Speaker 1: on the court, I'm standing on the court and like
Speaker 1: not realizing pretty much anything that's going on around me,
Speaker 1: And so I missed that. I then proceeded to miss
Speaker 1: pictures with everyone. So like if you see the pictures,
Speaker 1: like I think there maybe a picture of me and Clay,
Speaker 1: maybe me and Clay. I think it's me and Clay possibly,
Speaker 1: but like I don't have a picture like me and Steph,
Speaker 1: for me and Steve or me and g Like I
Speaker 1: totally missed that part of things. I then proceeded to
Speaker 1: miss of the after party that we had in TV
Speaker 1: Garden and like some club they got in there, Like
Speaker 1: who knew it was a club and TV Garden huge club.
Speaker 1: I missed like of the after party. So I said
Speaker 1: all of that to say or just to give you
Speaker 1: a perspective of why A that episode was terrible because
Speaker 1: I didn't realize in scheduling the episode with Jackson and
Speaker 1: like you just don't know where the emotions were gonna be.
Speaker 1: And for me, my emotions was all over the place, like,
Speaker 1: you know, a part of me and sitting there watchington
Speaker 1: younger guys and enjoying seeing them like when their first
Speaker 1: championship and they're reacting. A part of me is sitting
Speaker 1: there trying to process. Man, we just want our fourth championship.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you the difference in between four
Speaker 1: and three man as well be having one and four,
Speaker 1: Like it feels so night and day, like the rarefied
Speaker 1: air that we're in after winning the fourth one then
Speaker 1: winning the third one, it's literally like it's just so rare.
Speaker 1: I was on the phone with Brian the other day
Speaker 1: and I'm just telling him, like, bro, the difference like
Speaker 1: going from from three to fours and saying he like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, like it's crazy. That's why when when
Speaker 1: we want our when we when I want my fourth one,
Speaker 1: I'm just like naha, like stop, don't you don't want
Speaker 1: to hear anything. And we were we were just sitting
Speaker 1: there talking about how like the difference in between winning
Speaker 1: number three, like going from three to four, it's massive.
Speaker 1: And so I want to give a big shout out
Speaker 1: to the guys who has four rings. Um obviously your
Speaker 1: your current active players is made up of the Doves
Speaker 1: and LJ. So that's a very short list. Um, but
Speaker 1: Shock Diesel, who all right said a million times was
Speaker 1: growing up for me like it was Shot, like a
Speaker 1: huge Shock fan. Had to zip up. Orlando Magic, Onzie.
Speaker 1: My night light was Orlando Magic. I had to iron
Speaker 1: on half ironed on and the rest is like going
Speaker 1: missing Shaquille O'Neil magic jersey with the lines and into
Speaker 1: him and Penny jerseys, you know, like growing up for me,
Speaker 1: my favorite player all times, Shot, just the way he dominated.
Speaker 1: I actually be going back and watched some of Shot
Speaker 1: highlights and different stuff with Shot, and dude was absolutely insane.
Speaker 1: Four time Club, MJ. Four time Club obviously MJ six,
Speaker 1: but we're talking about the four time Club, MJ. You're
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna be a part of this club for now. Um,
Speaker 1: we got Cold Kareem and like you know, I can
Speaker 1: go on and on with this list. Scottie Pipper, the
Speaker 1: moral of the Stories, Steve Kerr. I'd be remiss if
Speaker 1: I didn't say Steve Kerr. But there's forty four guys.
Speaker 1: Four of them happen to be from our camp and
Speaker 1: in NBA history that has four championships, and so that
Speaker 1: leads you to the conversation that it's our seventy five team.
Speaker 1: Now we're not getting into that. I'm just joking, partly joking,
Speaker 1: partly serious. But anyway, it's like it's it's really still
Speaker 1: hard for me to put in words, but nonetheless back
Speaker 1: to what I was saying anyway, trying to put into context,
Speaker 1: like we just want our fourth ring. In the emotions
Speaker 1: of it, standing on that stage looking out at the
Speaker 1: Boston fans, who I don't even need to revisit all
Speaker 1: of the things that they were saying and h their antics,
Speaker 1: but to watch them sit there and watch us hoist
Speaker 1: the trophy, my emotions in my mind was just all
Speaker 1: over the place, and so just kind missed the moment.
Speaker 1: I remember a story Peter Goober, who was one of
Speaker 1: the majority owners mentor mind one of the majority owners
Speaker 1: are to go to State Warriors. He told me a
Speaker 1: story years ago. He said, Draymond at All, I always
Speaker 1: wanted to win, and um, I always wanted to win
Speaker 1: an Oscar, you know, and and you do all of
Speaker 1: these things, and you put these movies together, and like
Speaker 1: the ultimate goal is to win an Oscar. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great, he said. And Draymond, we finally got the movie.
Speaker 1: We got our oscar, he said. And I'm on like
Speaker 1: a chair and back of everybody, like trying to stand
Speaker 1: up and so I could be in the picture, he said.
Speaker 1: And in that moment, I realized the picture is the
Speaker 1: least important part of this journey. It's the actual journey
Speaker 1: that you appreciate. It's the times on set um with
Speaker 1: the actors and with the directors and producers and actresses.
Speaker 1: That's what you appreciate. You appreciate the journey. You appreciate
Speaker 1: the process of getting there. And it took me to
Speaker 1: have to trying to hop on a chair in the
Speaker 1: back and like being the picture to realize like it's
Speaker 1: all about the process and journey, and so a part
Speaker 1: of me is just sit standing there and like like
Speaker 1: not even really caring about the picture or about holding
Speaker 1: a trophy, Like I never held the trophy on stage.
Speaker 1: First time I held the trophy was like in the
Speaker 1: pictures afterwards where you take the individuals, but really hoisted
Speaker 1: the trophy was the parade and so it was it's
Speaker 1: it was a surreal moment for me, but it was
Speaker 1: also a little um confusing if you will. And what
Speaker 1: I mean by confusing is just it was just all
Speaker 1: over the place. I was all over the place. So
Speaker 1: that was kind of the ending of it for me,
Speaker 1: or yeah, essentially the ending. But I also want to
Speaker 1: walk you back to games five and six, A very
Speaker 1: interesting detail. I think a couple of people picked up
Speaker 1: on it, but most people didn't. I wear the same
Speaker 1: outfit game five in game six. If you would have
Speaker 1: saw my pack back on the way back from Boston
Speaker 1: or way to Boston, very small bad because I didn't
Speaker 1: have many clothes. I wear my same black uh Converse
Speaker 1: sweatsuit to game five and the game six. What was
Speaker 1: the significance behind that. The significance behind that was I
Speaker 1: felt like leaving Boston that I was in the war.
Speaker 1: Um with the people screaming and yelling the way they were,
Speaker 1: the disrespect, I felt like I was in the war,
Speaker 1: and and no disrespect to to to our soldiers and
Speaker 1: to um our armed forces as a whole, and actually
Speaker 1: going to war when I said, we appreciate everything our
Speaker 1: armed services due for our country, for us as American citizens.
Speaker 1: So I'm not making the comparison as if I was
Speaker 1: going to like real war. I was going to war
Speaker 1: in my world, and my world is basketball, and I
Speaker 1: felt like I was going into a war, and so
Speaker 1: my mindset was all black everything, like I'm going to
Speaker 1: take something, and that's just kind of where I was mentally.
Speaker 1: I also didn't want to spend any energy on what
Speaker 1: I was going to wear that day. Uh, And so
Speaker 1: for me going into game five, Hazel was asking me,
Speaker 1: She's like, uh, do I need to earn your clothes
Speaker 1: for you before? Like keeping you want to set your
Speaker 1: clothes out before you're taking that. I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I'm just gonna wear an all black jogging cities.
Speaker 1: She's like, okay, well, if you change your mind, you know,
Speaker 1: let me know or sit. And then when I woke
Speaker 1: up from my now, she's like, hey, you got something
Speaker 1: me are I say, no, I'm one percent wearing all
Speaker 1: black jogging suits. And then you know, go to game five.
Speaker 1: We win Game five, and I told her, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take this joggon suit off. I'm gonna pack it up. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not watching it. No I'm not. I didn't have
Speaker 1: time to send it to the cleaners or anything anyway,
Speaker 1: because we left the next morning after game five, this
Speaker 1: is going straight in the bat and I'm going to
Speaker 1: game six and I'm gonna wear the same outfit. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what I did, and the result was the exact same.
Speaker 1: I think after game four we knew we had them.
Speaker 1: Like after game four, I'm like, all right, I'm wearing
Speaker 1: all black. It's gonna be a funeral. Game five, it's
Speaker 1: time to go ahead and really try to kill these
Speaker 1: you know, like kill these boys. Game six we put
Speaker 1: the dagger in these boys. But that was kind of like,
Speaker 1: that was my mindset, and so that's how I went
Speaker 1: into game five, in game six with at the absolute
Speaker 1: same outfit on. It was incredible. It was a part
Speaker 1: of my journey and for me, like I said, that
Speaker 1: was my mindset, and I absolutely enjoyed that. Now, like
Speaker 1: I said, I knew after game four, we knew after
Speaker 1: Game four and really after game three, but especially after
Speaker 1: Game four that you know we had that was kind
Speaker 1: of it. And so you're going to game five where
Speaker 1: they you know, we take a big lead, they fight back.
Speaker 1: The biggest shot of the series was Jordan's Pools shot
Speaker 1: before the end of quarter number three in game five,
Speaker 1: where he banked the three in Why was that the
Speaker 1: biggest shot of the series. The reason that was the
Speaker 1: biggest shot of the series was because they had fought
Speaker 1: back in in in the third quarter, which we had
Speaker 1: dominated third quarters, they fought back in that third quarter
Speaker 1: and when they fought back, they had taken the lead
Speaker 1: and Jordan hit the shot and we went up one
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. And I know to most
Speaker 1: people it's like, but they only up one, No big
Speaker 1: deals right there. But what that did to them mentally
Speaker 1: for them to see, man, we just had this incredible
Speaker 1: quarter and we're going into the fourth quarter down. It
Speaker 1: didn't matter whether they were down by one point or
Speaker 1: ten points to have the quarter that they had to
Speaker 1: take the lead and then go into the next quarter
Speaker 1: down that for them, I feel like it was a
Speaker 1: dagger when Jordan hit that shot. Now did they quit
Speaker 1: after that? No, we went out and we immediately took
Speaker 1: over the fourth quarter of Game five. But you you
Speaker 1: just knew like they didn't have Like they made the comeback,
Speaker 1: but they didn't have enough to get over the hump.
Speaker 1: And if they never took the lead and they're going
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter down one, it's a totally different mindset,
Speaker 1: but the fact that they took the lead and then
Speaker 1: they still went into the fourth quarter down I think
Speaker 1: for them mentally, that was like a gut punch for them,
Speaker 1: and so a huge shot from Jordan's. Then you go
Speaker 1: into Game six, they start off, they make their run.
Speaker 1: We all expected it, we all expected like this. They're
Speaker 1: fighting for their lives in front of their home crowd.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come out with a bang. They started Twitter too,
Speaker 1: and then things start to change, and at that point
Speaker 1: you knew we took that first blow. That was it.
Speaker 1: That was it. And then obviously we go on and
Speaker 1: we do what we had to do in order to
Speaker 1: talk to you all the way we have been talking
Speaker 1: to you all. And by the way, let's get into
Speaker 1: that Twitter beef. Twitter beef with everyone. I don't have
Speaker 1: Twitter beef with anyone, just that why um, because why
Speaker 1: would I have beef. I'm kind of just telling y'all
Speaker 1: like what it is, and telling y'all how I feel,
Speaker 1: and like, most importantly to shut up because quite frankly,
Speaker 1: we don't want to hear it. And so you may
Speaker 1: have seen me at the parade, and I'm just like
Speaker 1: in every interview, I'm like shut up. And the reason
Speaker 1: being is because you have these experts that does all
Speaker 1: this talking, less analyzing, but a bunch of talking heads
Speaker 1: and they just talk talk talk talk talk. But what
Speaker 1: about getting back to actually analyzing the game? What about um?
Speaker 1: Like why why is it so important? I know why
Speaker 1: it's important, actually, but all these hot takes, like what
Speaker 1: about explaining the game of basketball and and what's going
Speaker 1: on and like what it means and the games within
Speaker 1: the game and the advantage of the advantages that one
Speaker 1: could get winning the NBA Finals. For those of you
Speaker 1: that don't understand it is the smallest edge that it takes.
Speaker 1: Is that that's who's gonna win the NBA Finals. It's
Speaker 1: the smallest edge. It's not who can score the most points.
Speaker 1: It's not it's Steph Curry gonna score thirty nine points
Speaker 1: and Jayson Tatum gonna score twenty nine points or thirty
Speaker 1: nine points, or it's not that that's not what wins
Speaker 1: you the NBA Finals. It is the smallest edge that
Speaker 1: wins someone the NBA Finals. And because all these dumb
Speaker 1: talking heads and never done it, they don't understand it.
Speaker 1: Even the one that has done it, don't act like
Speaker 1: he's done it because he's an idiot in the moron
Speaker 1: and wasn't really that good of a player. And so
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Kim j. Perk Is by the way,
Speaker 1: um like so he don't even understand like how to
Speaker 1: even talk speak about winning the championship and things that
Speaker 1: go into it, and and like the advantages that you
Speaker 1: need to gain or lack thereof, and giving someone an advantage.
Speaker 1: I mean it comes down. Look, I'm very close with
Speaker 1: Jayson Tatum. Obviously he's been on the show, which we appreciate,
Speaker 1: but that's j t is a little brother to me.
Speaker 1: It was bothering me to not speak to him at
Speaker 1: all during the finals. Aaron Miles super tight with Aaron Miles.
Speaker 1: Me used to sit and play Domino's entire flight where
Speaker 1: Aaron Miles when he was here the last few years.
Speaker 1: It was bothering me not to talk to them guys,
Speaker 1: because when you've built the relationship like I've built with
Speaker 1: those two, like a part of me is like, man,
Speaker 1: I want to say, what's up to my brother, But
Speaker 1: the other side of me, no, I don't have absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing to say to him or or eight Miles, not
Speaker 1: either one of them because it's the smallest edge that
Speaker 1: wins you an NBA finals, and you can't let anything
Speaker 1: get in the way of that. And so for me
Speaker 1: and going through that, yes, that bothered me. But I recently,
Speaker 1: I just talked to eight Miles and JT on the
Speaker 1: phone a couple of days ago, UM, and I told them,
Speaker 1: like I I faced time both of them, like what's up,
Speaker 1: and to look on both of their faces when they
Speaker 1: answered the phone. Obviously it's not at the same time,
Speaker 1: but when they answered the phone, the look on both
Speaker 1: of their faces was priceless. I wish I would have
Speaker 1: screenshot at it, but I didn't, UM, because some things
Speaker 1: are just for those moments and that and that's one
Speaker 1: of them. But to look on both of their faces
Speaker 1: with prices. But I called both of them and I said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just calling the break the ice. Like we ain't
Speaker 1: spoke a few weeks, but I'm just calling the break
Speaker 1: the ice. And I specifically waited until after the parade
Speaker 1: to break the ice because you know, like you're still
Speaker 1: in those moments and you know you're preparing for the
Speaker 1: parade and it's still early. So I waited till after
Speaker 1: the parade to hit both of them chop it up,
Speaker 1: check in and it was great, It was absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1: But I brought that up and just speaking on the
Speaker 1: edge and the smallest edge that it takes to win
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, and what is this significance of that.
Speaker 1: The significance of that is ESPN had us like eighty
Speaker 1: two and what is that? What do I mean by
Speaker 1: we've heard of that before? Right? These people had us
Speaker 1: with a twenty percent chance to win the NBA Finals
Speaker 1: and an eighty percent chance to lose. So I asked
Speaker 1: the question and apparently it was like made by the
Speaker 1: basketball power in dex So I asked the question who
Speaker 1: makes these like, like who comes up with these numbers?
Speaker 1: Like what's the formula? Is it? Is it the formula?
Speaker 1: Like is the formula made based off of the idiots
Speaker 1: that be talking about the game that we haven't talked
Speaker 1: about the game of basketball? Because that's clearly what it
Speaker 1: looks like, like how do how does your index come
Speaker 1: up with it chance for us? But it's because I
Speaker 1: don't know maybe again I don't know what makes up
Speaker 1: this index and like how you come up with that?
Speaker 1: But clearly it's flawed and clearly broke. I think after
Speaker 1: Game four we might have been still like twenty something
Speaker 1: percent chance of winning, which is absolutely insane because that
Speaker 1: means you didn't watch Game four and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this ain't right. Something here not right, and I see
Speaker 1: what's happening here. No, but most people can't see that
Speaker 1: because they don't quite understand. So let's get back into
Speaker 1: these talking heads, Skip Bayliss. No, I don't want to
Speaker 1: come on your show. No, I'm not gonna come on
Speaker 1: your show and debate. But if you want to analyze
Speaker 1: the game of basketball and we come on there and
Speaker 1: we do that, I'd absolutely consider it. I'd consider it.
Speaker 1: I'm say I'm gonna come, but I will consider it.
Speaker 1: But if you want to sit there and debate, I
Speaker 1: didn't go to law school, brother, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to come on your showing debate sports or debate anything
Speaker 1: else because I didn't go to law school. If I
Speaker 1: if I wanted to debate something, then I just like
Speaker 1: I wouldn't went to law school. And really did that
Speaker 1: not try to make basketball that like, No, basketball is
Speaker 1: beautiful basketball. There's a lot to analyze in the game
Speaker 1: of basketball if you know the game. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the problem a bunch of you guys run into
Speaker 1: You can't give analysis because you don't know the game,
Speaker 1: so you end up trying to like debate with somebody
Speaker 1: and like that's whatever teachers on, Like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to sit there and debate with you on TV because
Speaker 1: quite frankly, there's someone that's never watched your show, and
Speaker 1: they may be flicking through the channels and see me
Speaker 1: on your show. And because they've never watched the show
Speaker 1: and they flick through the channel and they see me
Speaker 1: on your show, they may mistakenly take me for the
Speaker 1: fool as opposed to knowing right away that you're the fool.
Speaker 1: And I'd hate for them to mistakenly take me for
Speaker 1: the food that you are or get me confused with
Speaker 1: the idiot that you are. Right, I don't have much
Speaker 1: of an interest for that. I wouldn't want that on
Speaker 1: my name. And and to like like, no, it's it's
Speaker 1: very evident what you are and who you are, right,
Speaker 1: we know that. It's concrete, Like we know exactly who
Speaker 1: you are, clown, And I just don't think i'd be
Speaker 1: doing myself as sir uh any service or any good
Speaker 1: by coming on your show. I'm also not sure that
Speaker 1: I would even want you as as a guest on
Speaker 1: the Draymond Green Show, because if you go back and
Speaker 1: you look at resumes of guys on the show, you
Speaker 1: don't qualify like you. You don't qualify for this show.
Speaker 1: Your your resume not there. So I probably won't come
Speaker 1: on your show. Unless you want to sit there and
Speaker 1: analyze the game of basketball, then I'll come on maybe,
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure. And the only other outlet I
Speaker 1: would really be able to talk to your on us
Speaker 1: right here on the Draymond Green Show. And and again,
Speaker 1: your resume doesn't quite crack. It doesn't quite crack the code.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll change that standard one day and have a
Speaker 1: guy like yourself on. But as of right now, especially
Speaker 1: coming off this fourth championship, you're not welcome, my friend.
Speaker 1: You are not welcome here. And by the way you
Speaker 1: come out talking about the new media, you're not the
Speaker 1: new media, you're the real media. You are the real media.
Speaker 1: You're right, you've attached your name to a black man
Speaker 1: for all of these years. I and and that black
Speaker 1: man is none other than King James Lebron James himself,
Speaker 1: and you try to tear him down as much as
Speaker 1: you can all these years. So you're right, you are
Speaker 1: the real media. You are exactly who I speak of
Speaker 1: when I say this is the new media. We do
Speaker 1: this differently. You're right. I'm happy you admitted it real media.
Speaker 1: But the new media is here to stay and we're
Speaker 1: taking this thing over. You know why, because people don't
Speaker 1: want to hear that old, dried up, tired stuff that
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Nobody want to hear that no more.
Speaker 1: The new media. Baby. It's a reason JJ Reddick going
Speaker 1: on TV and crushing everybody. It's a reason they keep
Speaker 1: calling Patrick Beverly back to TV. It's a reason why
Speaker 1: c J McCullum just signed that deal. It's a reason
Speaker 1: why I signed the deal that I signed. It's the
Speaker 1: reason why this podcast, the Draymond Green Show, it's doing
Speaker 1: the numbers that it's doing. It's the reason why the
Speaker 1: new media. I don't nobody want to hear all that
Speaker 1: tired stuff you're talking about anymore. Mr Real, Stop attaching
Speaker 1: your name to Lebron James. Stopped because you know Lebron James,
Speaker 1: in his incredible life that he's lived and continues to live,
Speaker 1: that there will always be something for you to talk about.
Speaker 1: If I just attached my name to Lebron James, we
Speaker 1: don't want to hear your brother. It's over. It's the
Speaker 1: new media. We're here to stay, so you keep talking
Speaker 1: that real media stuff. I'm happy you did. You showed
Speaker 1: your hand. You are exactly who I thought you were,
Speaker 1: exactly who I thought you were, Kendred Perkins. You act
Speaker 1: like this clown, and it's baffling to me. He could
Speaker 1: never be you. You know, he could never be you
Speaker 1: because he's never done it. You go up here acting
Speaker 1: like him. You don't have to do that. Buddy, you played,
Speaker 1: you did it? Go talk about it or can you not?
Speaker 1: I hope that you can. With all these hot takes
Speaker 1: you make, you should be able to You don't have
Speaker 1: to act like that, my man. You don't have to
Speaker 1: go up there. You go from being enforcer the coon.
Speaker 1: How does that happen? At least you act like it enforced.
Speaker 1: I didn't really ever take you for one, which is
Speaker 1: why when we were playing the Calves in the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals and I was shaking them pom poms and people
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, I remember my Twitter blowing up
Speaker 1: like you leaveing Lebron alone. You shouldn't be shaking pompous
Speaker 1: out Lebron, Bron my big brother. I would never shake
Speaker 1: pomp poons at him. Also, who's he cheering for? I
Speaker 1: was shaking pompoms at the guy in the suit in
Speaker 1: the back or here in the bench, shaking my pompoms
Speaker 1: at him, that guy. You don't have to act like that, man.
Speaker 1: You can go on TV and be real and like
Speaker 1: stand on business. You know, gotta go up there doing
Speaker 1: that stuff you're doing. This. Man just went on on
Speaker 1: JJ's podcast the other day and said, I was praying
Speaker 1: that Lebron James got hurt. What are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: You actually thought that was okay to admit? Come on,
Speaker 1: cause you can't think that's okay to admit even if
Speaker 1: you felt that way, which, by the way, why do
Speaker 1: you feel that way? That's a problem. But even if
Speaker 1: you felt that way, they take that one to the grave.
Speaker 1: MA Man and j J being the scholars that he is,
Speaker 1: the great individual that JJ is, and most importantly, the
Speaker 1: new media. Why is that significant right now? Because the
Speaker 1: new media we also protect guys like we protect this.
Speaker 1: This isn't about tearing you down. This isn't real, Skip Bayless,
Speaker 1: try and tell you down we don't do that. Now.
Speaker 1: We we do critique something's off. We're gonna talk about it,
Speaker 1: but we're not gonna just try to tell you no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to help that. And so j J,
Speaker 1: being the new media member that he is, then tries
Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to walk it back, like
Speaker 1: you mean like you spraying anchor now a c l
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Bro? There was once upon a
Speaker 1: time or excuse me, there was once a point in
Speaker 1: time where a c L S was in and people careers. Man,
Speaker 1: you remember this how we feed our families. We always
Speaker 1: talk like I don't know if you do, because it's
Speaker 1: not my substance, but I always talk about like when
Speaker 1: you get hurt, you lead a court like you live that,
Speaker 1: like you don't lead a court. And then it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not hurting no more. I can walk down.
Speaker 1: But when the game is going on and when practice
Speaker 1: going on the back on crutches, like like it's a
Speaker 1: video game. No, you really live this stuff. So for
Speaker 1: you to pray on another man down fall, that's a
Speaker 1: character flaw, my man. If you pray on somebody down fall,
Speaker 1: once you're gonna pray on it again, not necessarily that
Speaker 1: you pray on Lebron's down fall, because y'all are in
Speaker 1: like living too totally different worlds. Um, But that just
Speaker 1: means you're the type of person that will prey on
Speaker 1: someone's downfall. That's a little whack to me. That's not
Speaker 1: New Media's m I don't understand. You don't have to
Speaker 1: go on TV and act like that. Brother, you played
Speaker 1: act like it. Stop doing this. Stop making a fool
Speaker 1: of yourself. You played act like it. Nicholas right, how
Speaker 1: are you doing a lot of hot takes? You admit
Speaker 1: it the other day we make hot takes. Analyzed the
Speaker 1: game my man now total opposite of Skip Bayles's Skip
Speaker 1: Bayless has kind of rolled Lebron James and tried to
Speaker 1: tear him down for all these years, and that's how
Speaker 1: he feels. His segments on the show. Nick Wright has
Speaker 1: been total opposite Bron. Bron could go one for nineteen
Speaker 1: and Nick right gonna say he he made one shot
Speaker 1: and he was the best player on the floor. What
Speaker 1: happened to the days of again analyzing the game? Honest
Speaker 1: depends you got and like clowns like Bill Simmons, who's
Speaker 1: like a Boston die hard fan through and through. That's
Speaker 1: not really giving you the real because he's not impartial.
Speaker 1: Like what happened to the days of doing a great
Speaker 1: job in media and your stories and your takes and
Speaker 1: just giving analysis, not being a homer. Not Kendrick Perkins
Speaker 1: going on First Taken then going on the Boston Celtics
Speaker 1: home TV show, like, yeah, we're going for the South, dude,
Speaker 1: you were just doing national TV about these games. By
Speaker 1: the way, the issue that I have with with this
Speaker 1: topic in particular, if y'all are misguiding people, Like people
Speaker 1: actually see y'all on TV and they actually think y'all
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. So then when they actually
Speaker 1: think that you guys know what you're talking about, they
Speaker 1: may be betting on games and they're watching you and
Speaker 1: like listening, like to Kendrick Perkins say dumb things about
Speaker 1: the Celtics and the wards. They may believe you, and
Speaker 1: you're not giving them the real because your heart's in
Speaker 1: it and because you're not doing a great job at
Speaker 1: what you should be doing, which is analyzing the game
Speaker 1: of basketball. If you're gonna talk about the game, analyze
Speaker 1: the game, say why this is wrong? Say why that happened.
Speaker 1: You can't just say, Draymond play terrible? And who who
Speaker 1: who looked like the old Hill or al Harford is
Speaker 1: who he used to be like? How though? Why explain
Speaker 1: to us what you mean? And you have to explain it,
Speaker 1: analyze it, help us, not just don't don't just be
Speaker 1: these hot take guys. Man, explain what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Be thorough. It's important people are listening to y'all and
Speaker 1: think y'all actually know what you're talking about. It's important,
Speaker 1: you know why. Another reason, it's important to make sure
Speaker 1: these guys act the way they should be acting, to
Speaker 1: carry themselves the way they should be carried. I was
Speaker 1: once suspended from Game seven of the NBA Finals. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Game five of the NBA Finals. What's the significance of that?
Speaker 1: Why is that matter in this conversation, because, again, the
Speaker 1: guy's opinions matter. I'm sure I'm certain that some media
Speaker 1: members had conversations with people about in the league office
Speaker 1: about whether I should be suspended or not for that game.
Speaker 1: Your opinion matters. Hard to trust those opinions, hard to
Speaker 1: be honest in those situations. If you can't even analyze
Speaker 1: the series and say X, Y and Z. Now, granted,
Speaker 1: when I'm done playing, I'm sure I'm gonna want to
Speaker 1: see the Golden State Warriors. When I spent ten years
Speaker 1: of my life here, hopefully we'll spend the next five,
Speaker 1: six or whatever here, So I'm sure I'll feel a
Speaker 1: certain way about to go and State Warriors. Okay, if
Speaker 1: I go on any show off, if I'm on inside
Speaker 1: the NBA, I'm gonna break the game down and break
Speaker 1: the series down and tell you why this matters and
Speaker 1: why that matters, and how this helps and how how
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Like you still have to do that. You
Speaker 1: can't just be like, oh, I wanted the Selfstius to win,
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, they're paying you to analyze and
Speaker 1: you know, like you're doing the countdown shows. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell people what's going on. Man. They trust you, so
Speaker 1: they think they trust you. You have to be able
Speaker 1: to thoroughly help break this game down, and we don't
Speaker 1: see a bunch of that. And it's baffling to me.
Speaker 1: It's baffling. You know, come out hot, take this hot,
Speaker 1: Take that back to your boy, Nicholas. You spoke all
Speaker 1: of that stuff about Andrew Wikins. You spoke all of
Speaker 1: that stuff about how the warriors were done and like
Speaker 1: would never win again, and Stephanie needs to leave, go
Speaker 1: to stay and blah blah blah. And then once you're wrong,
Speaker 1: you then try to go on TV the other day
Speaker 1: or whatever you are on and say that's what we do.
Speaker 1: We make hot takes and up. No, no, no, you're wrong, brother.
Speaker 1: You gotta stand on that. No ste takes. Don't just
Speaker 1: get the roll off. See that's what y'all accustomed to.
Speaker 1: I say, they make these ask no statements, and then
Speaker 1: once I'm done, it's just over. No no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: You got to stand on that. Changing your opinion in
Speaker 1: the middle of this. No no, no, brother, stand on that,
Speaker 1: stand on your word. It's important to stand on that.
Speaker 1: Not just flipping and flopping and all this and not
Speaker 1: what do you stand for? I don't understand. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: It's baffling to me. We gotta be utter and I
Speaker 1: only care. I only care. It's because I've transitioned into
Speaker 1: that industry. I'm now a part of that industry. Not
Speaker 1: part of the real media though I'm the new media,
Speaker 1: but I'm a part of the industry, and I know
Speaker 1: how you guys are view and I would love to
Speaker 1: change the view before I'm really seeing as a part
Speaker 1: of that industry, because it's just a little unfortunate. I
Speaker 1: can get media media people out here just making these
Speaker 1: crazy statements and like saying these things. I tweeted at
Speaker 1: Uncle or Instagram story one of them, and I said,
Speaker 1: I got an Uncle Oaks story type story for this podcast.
Speaker 1: Let me give it to you. And speaking of media,
Speaker 1: just talking, there was a clip going around during the finals.
Speaker 1: By the way, these all the things that be going
Speaker 1: on during the finals, and and and the guy sitting
Speaker 1: there like, uh, Draymond, you're you're, you're the podcast is
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. These are all the things going on
Speaker 1: in the finals that you all really don't know going
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. And I really haven't had time
Speaker 1: to talk about him because I'd be so locked in
Speaker 1: on task at hand. But there was a clip that
Speaker 1: surface and centric Maxwell says to Gary Payton, see her,
Speaker 1: Draymond was acting like that in the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 1: He get punched in his face. He could punch right
Speaker 1: in the mouth whatever he said. So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Let me explain something to y'all. I played basketball. When
Speaker 1: I go on the basketball court, I'm not going out
Speaker 1: there to punch on buying the mouth. I'm not going
Speaker 1: out there trying to pick a fire with anybody. I
Speaker 1: am going out on the basketball court to simply win
Speaker 1: the basketball game, hopefully play well in doing it. In
Speaker 1: doing that, you're going to try to find any small
Speaker 1: ash that you can, because the smallest edge. When'd you
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals? Okay, So if I go on the
Speaker 1: court and I talked jump, I talked to somebody, Listen,
Speaker 1: you heard it here first. I'm not going out there
Speaker 1: trying to fight anybody. I played basketball. Will I fight
Speaker 1: someone if I? Of course, Like I grew up my
Speaker 1: whole life fighting, I don't fight anymore. It's pointless. So
Speaker 1: I saw it so here here it is. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you here first. When I go on the court and
Speaker 1: I'm talking jump, I am not talking junk because I
Speaker 1: want to fight someone. It's not what I'm going out
Speaker 1: there and do, quite frankly, because it's gonna cost me
Speaker 1: too much money if I do go out there and
Speaker 1: fight someone. So I'd rather save that money, all right,
Speaker 1: now that we got that. Sometimes in trying to gain
Speaker 1: an edge on the court. It does lead to you
Speaker 1: having beef off the court. Uh, you leaving the court
Speaker 1: piste off. Not really me in most cases, but some
Speaker 1: people leaving the court piste off and it carries on
Speaker 1: outside of that. To be quite frank with you, I
Speaker 1: don't really know how many guys fighting off the court
Speaker 1: even when it carries outside of that. But short can whatever.
Speaker 1: If I had to fight, great, we'll fight. But I
Speaker 1: said all of that to say you gotta fight. Like
Speaker 1: I said, you'll fighting, I'll fight. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: But nobody's really fighting sanba Okay, so multi billion dollar organization, gosh,
Speaker 1: just all run around fight. But so central Macuwell makes
Speaker 1: the statement blah blah blah. He does his stay. So
Speaker 1: now after game five, almost positive it was after game five, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it was after game five, molmost positive. I
Speaker 1: actually game five. I go out and I do the
Speaker 1: Scott vm PL show, and then I see to the left,
Speaker 1: my family is still sitting in the stands over where
Speaker 1: they sit. So I go over there, kiss my family,
Speaker 1: hug him. I'm like, all right, I have to now
Speaker 1: head back to do I just finished Scott ben Felt.
Speaker 1: I now have to head back and do the media room.
Speaker 1: So in doing that, where their seats are in the tunnel,
Speaker 1: I'm about to walk out of the tunnel. Who's standing there?
Speaker 1: Gary Payton Senior and Cedric Maxwell with a few other people,
Speaker 1: But those are the two that I see now. I noticed,
Speaker 1: so I so if GPS standing with his back to
Speaker 1: the stands Cedric Maxwell, it's like standing over here. So
Speaker 1: I like come into between them and I put my
Speaker 1: back to sector Maxwell and I tell g P he
Speaker 1: should nobody should ever be able to come to you
Speaker 1: and like think they can talk about me and they
Speaker 1: got a friend and you like GP. That's my O
Speaker 1: G man Like even before a young g P out here,
Speaker 1: I used to play dominoes with GP like Oakland real
Speaker 1: Oakland legend, like nothing but respect and love forever for
Speaker 1: g P. O G. I said, he shouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to come to you like he got a friend and
Speaker 1: you and talk about me, because ain't nobody gonna come
Speaker 1: to me and talk about g P like they got
Speaker 1: a friend. Know, you're gonna do one or two things.
Speaker 1: Either you're gonna go tell GP that you told me
Speaker 1: you're gonna punch him in his mouth, or I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now I'm gonna go tell him that you
Speaker 1: said you're gonna punch him in his mouth, because if
Speaker 1: you're walking around saying you're gonna punch this guy in
Speaker 1: his mouth, I think he should know. So I told
Speaker 1: g P that, and GP like, man, I ain't getting
Speaker 1: into all that, and he's standing right there. I said,
Speaker 1: I know he's standing right here. That's why I came
Speaker 1: and said it to you right now because I saw
Speaker 1: you earlier. But I ain't say it to you earlier
Speaker 1: because I want him to know. When you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about something punching somebody in the mouth, you
Speaker 1: gotta stand on that. You can't just be walking around
Speaker 1: talk like, oh he get well, you do the punching.
Speaker 1: You gotta stand on that. And so I asked, you know,
Speaker 1: GP like nine and so then sential Mass, Well, oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of here. Of course you are,
Speaker 1: because you're walking around talking about you're gonna punch someone
Speaker 1: in the mall or somebody would get punched in the
Speaker 1: mall or whatever. But I'm playing basketball and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to gain an edge in the basketball game. Punching in
Speaker 1: the mouth has absolutely nothing to do with basketball, So
Speaker 1: let's just keep this basketball. And so then he walks out,
Speaker 1: he walks off. I finished talking to GP. So then
Speaker 1: I walk out the same tunnel because I'm going to
Speaker 1: do my media and he's standing there like, Drakemona, let
Speaker 1: me talk to you, and I'm like, it ain't really
Speaker 1: nothing to talk about. Like you said, I would get
Speaker 1: punch in the mouth. So I want to know, are
Speaker 1: you gonna punch me in the mouth. No, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna punch you in the mouth. I appreciate your game,
Speaker 1: of course you do. So then stop talking about that,
Speaker 1: Like there's absolutely no reason for you to be talking
Speaker 1: about me getting punch in the mouth unless you're going
Speaker 1: to punch me in the mouth. And so it's just
Speaker 1: this whole thing of like you know, you saw Russ
Speaker 1: the other day, check Skip Payless, like um, Russell Westbridge.
Speaker 1: That that man name is Westbrook, right, that man has children,
Speaker 1: that man has a family, that's a family name. You're
Speaker 1: talking about Russell Westbridge. Again. People just run off talking
Speaker 1: and think they don't have to stand on that. You
Speaker 1: gotta stand on them words, man, Your words mean something.
Speaker 1: You gotta be willing to stand on that. And so
Speaker 1: that that's like my whole thing with this new the
Speaker 1: new media stand on that real media, but calling this
Speaker 1: man Westbrick like, what who are you? So hopefully these
Speaker 1: guys will see this, they'll of course they'll look at it.
Speaker 1: They'll go respond to say, I'm not doing that, Bob.
Speaker 1: But if you know what's good for you, you gotta
Speaker 1: make the adjustment, man, because people tired of that old
Speaker 1: ass tire stuff. Y'all given the sick of it. Yours
Speaker 1: truly the new media. Lastly, before I get out of here,
Speaker 1: let's talk about free agency. I also, oh, before I
Speaker 1: get to this, this is actually lead right into where
Speaker 1: I'm going. Brian Windhorse said after Game five, that was
Speaker 1: a pocketbook win. The Warriors bought that win. I got
Speaker 1: no problems with Brian went Horse. I got no problems
Speaker 1: with Brian went Horse at all. Action I have a
Speaker 1: problem with that statement. The reason I have a problem
Speaker 1: with that statement is because it's very contradictory. I was
Speaker 1: a contradictory. Well quite frankly, you guys, said pan Clay Thompson.
Speaker 1: The money that he made coming off of his injury
Speaker 1: was a bad idea boy, Joe lake Cook, they should
Speaker 1: have paid him less money, blah blah blah ah. You
Speaker 1: guys also said Steph Curry and the extential he signed,
Speaker 1: it was over and that was it, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: You guys also said when Andrew Wiggins came to this
Speaker 1: team that we never went again, that we took on
Speaker 1: that bad contract and he is a zero and the
Speaker 1: bus and blah blah blah. You guys also said that
Speaker 1: I was washed up. Those are for highest paid players.
Speaker 1: You had an issue with every single contract. The moment
Speaker 1: it's beneficial, it's no longer a problem now it's now
Speaker 1: we bought the win. How is that possible after y'all
Speaker 1: had an issue with every single one of the contracts
Speaker 1: I just mentioned our top four contracts, you guys had
Speaker 1: an issue with. How is there any such thing as
Speaker 1: a pocketbook win for a team that y'all said was
Speaker 1: pathetic that would never win. That's baffling to me. Now,
Speaker 1: I gotta give Joe Lacom some credit. We do how
Speaker 1: the highest payroll and the NBA in large part due
Speaker 1: to we drafted well, our team, our front office, our ownership,
Speaker 1: the ownership group, and they've done an incredible job and
Speaker 1: number one building the business. Of the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 1: As we know, it was not great in two thousand
Speaker 1: level when they bought this team, so they built the
Speaker 1: business an incredible one. They've drafted well. Shout out to
Speaker 1: Bob Myers. The guy who did not receive a single
Speaker 1: vote for g by the Year or Executive of a
Speaker 1: Year did not see he did not receive a single vote,
Speaker 1: a single vote for a team that y'all said would
Speaker 1: never win again, would never do anything. The guy who
Speaker 1: put this roster together did not receive a single vote
Speaker 1: for Executive of a Year. And for the smart alect
Speaker 1: that's out there, he may have received one. I don't
Speaker 1: think he received a single vote. That's no slight to
Speaker 1: whoever won Executive of the Year. But the guy who
Speaker 1: won a championship that put this roster together, that y'all
Speaker 1: said was total horseship, didn't receive one. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: know we already know that there's a problem with the
Speaker 1: voting system. First team, M v P, D P, O, Y,
Speaker 1: you name it. We already know there's a problem there.
Speaker 1: So that just falls right into the category with that,
Speaker 1: let's pathetic, But the fact that we can have a
Speaker 1: pocketbook win on a roster that y'all said would never compete.
Speaker 1: That is baffling to me. Like I said, we do
Speaker 1: have the highest payroll now to give Joe lacol credit there,
Speaker 1: guys not afraid to spend, which, by the way, we
Speaker 1: got some important stuff coming up, so we'll talk about
Speaker 1: in a second and the importance of it. But you
Speaker 1: can't say that, you just can't. Something that's baffling to
Speaker 1: me is that the Warriors Steph Curry it's been here
Speaker 1: thirteen years, drafted, Clay Thompson eleven, drafted myself, ten, drafted Wiggins, Yes,
Speaker 1: traded for not signed. We traded for Andrew Wiggins, James
Speaker 1: Wiseman drafted. I think the next highest paid player after that,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, is Jonathan Cominga drafted, Cavan Luney drafted.
Speaker 1: The fact that we're paying the same tax penalties that
Speaker 1: teams are that can go buy a team is crazy.
Speaker 1: Like the fact that there are no like okay, so
Speaker 1: you can go further into the tax if you have bird, right,
Speaker 1: But the fact that we've drafted all of these guys,
Speaker 1: and yes, the contract to get up there when you
Speaker 1: have success, but why is the tax rate the same
Speaker 1: exact tax rate as far as penalties go, for someone
Speaker 1: if they just went and when we say bought the team,
Speaker 1: if they went and signed every free agent that they
Speaker 1: didn't draft, why why is the taxes the same? I
Speaker 1: don't understand that. Like, so, to get penalized for drafting well,
Speaker 1: that doesn't really make sense to me, because then what's
Speaker 1: the incentive of drifting well and keeping your guys if
Speaker 1: that's going to be the case. Prime example being we're
Speaker 1: in free agency. You got Kavan Luney, who's a free
Speaker 1: agent who's going to do extremely well, who's put himself
Speaker 1: in a great position. Um, you get further penalized for
Speaker 1: giving him more money, but you drafted him with the
Speaker 1: thirtieth pick. Loon is by far next to Moses Moody,
Speaker 1: by the way, the most professional guys I've ever seen. Incredible,
Speaker 1: don't miss a beat, not late, no issues, They will
Speaker 1: never piss Steve Karral like, guys are great. You signed
Speaker 1: you when you drafted Looni with the thirtieth pick, and
Speaker 1: now you're gonna get penalized for that does not make
Speaker 1: sense to me. Doesn't make sense. We signed GP when
Speaker 1: no one else wanted g P. Obviously not drafted. But
Speaker 1: and so if there's a penalty there, I understand your
Speaker 1: Otto Porter who's also a free agent, the money and
Speaker 1: b Elisia Andrea Dollar. If there's other penalties, I get it.
Speaker 1: But for these guys, myself being one of them that's
Speaker 1: like drafted here, the fact that you face the same penalties,
Speaker 1: it's baffling to me. It's baffling. It doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: because again, what's the point of drafting. Well, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna get penalized ultimately for drafting, well, you can't help.
Speaker 1: But look at okay, see who has all these draft picks,
Speaker 1: and then wonder they'll may they'll probably be able to,
Speaker 1: like they may be able to in the long run
Speaker 1: keep two or three of these guys because the money
Speaker 1: is gonna cost so much of these guys turn off
Speaker 1: to be good. But they're drafting these guys, and so
Speaker 1: that right there is a little baffling to me. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I give Joe lake Up a lot of
Speaker 1: credit for all that he's been willing to spend and
Speaker 1: to keep this team going, because like I told y'all before,
Speaker 1: we ain't done. We're not done. We're gonna keep this
Speaker 1: train rolling. But the fact that there's no relief there.
Speaker 1: It's just baffling to me. So I think that's something
Speaker 1: that needs to be looked at in this next C
Speaker 1: B A, because you know, and I know people will
Speaker 1: make the argument and say, uh, well, yeah, but you
Speaker 1: gotta help the smaller market teams out. Guess what, I
Speaker 1: don't really care to like you help them where you may,
Speaker 1: but like my pay doesn't get raised. I live in
Speaker 1: expensive at San Francisco, and so the max salary if
Speaker 1: I make the max salary and Oklahoma City, that money
Speaker 1: stretch is way further than my money, my max money
Speaker 1: with stretch in San Francisco. But they don't say, oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna pro rate your salary because the rent is
Speaker 1: more expensive or to buy is more expensive per square.
Speaker 1: They don't do that. But when it comes to small
Speaker 1: market teams, we get punished as saying, nah, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna do that, then you gotta make it that way
Speaker 1: across the board, not just for a small market team
Speaker 1: or for this or that. Then you have to take
Speaker 1: into all of those disadvantages and advantages across the board,
Speaker 1: including for the players. And with that, I'm out of here.
Speaker 1: That's a rap from this episode The Draymond Green Show.
