2025 NBA Season

[YuginKadoya]

Everyone is talking about Draymond now.
NBA fans and analysts are asking why he was so talkative when he is trash-talking players in his podcast and on Twitter. Now that he did something worse, he cannot be seen anywhere anymore. 

Some say this may not be fixed anymore.
Some say trade him.
Some say forgive and forget. It should not be a big deal because it happens.
How can they even play well if there's beef in the locker room? I bet there will be those who will take Draymond's side while others for JP.

Edit: He already talked. It's long.

Well, something like this should have been talked about and I as a Warrior fan really worried about their shaky relationship, and the future of their championship, and as he talked about both side's family will be on the court that may have beef in him, and if that beef is going to stay In the locker room, well now he worried about those things right now but did he ever think about it while punching Poole, I surely don't want to pick a side because  I don't know the side on what has happened before that altercation but Jordan Poole should have speak aswell, he surely shoves Draymond Green before that punch occur,

I guess he just said that he's not rushing at all because he wasn't drafted but we know that he is already hoping to be a part of the NBA, things happen for a reason and clearly, it is not yet his time. He has the height advantage but that won't do nothing if he can't guard the center as he's still so thin, he needs to use this time to buff a bit so that he won't be cracked when someone wants to posterize him or get past him.

Yes, the anticipation was there if he can get on board the NBA but yeah anything happens for a reason and I think he is not really ready, that height of his if not used properly will surely just become a hinder, and he needs to be subtle in making preparations and it is good to start with his defense and that would be absurd if he is the tall guy in the court but has to deal with getting posterized by guys the same his size, right I think he lacks the passion to make defense on the recent Oklahoma Thunders game, so that is a problem at all,

[blockman]

^^ I really thought that this could be a big issue for the Warriors team.

But according to Moody, after the incidence, Jordan Poole continue with his own practice for 2 hours. So that is kind of mindset that the Warriors want to see from him and not going to the media and bad mouth Green. And Draymond already made a public apology so maybe the team itself is glad that something positive is already happening from the background and put their difference aside.

So that's quick and they're good again? After that heavy hook that Draymond has made to Poole, they just let it pass and Poole continued his own practice.
There are fans that would like to see some disciplinary action for Draymond because he's the one who became too aggressive and Poole was likely the victim.
But anyway, if things are already good for them then there's no need to worry about both of them since Draymond has apologized publicly and the management and Poole is okay with it.

......
And I have seen bad rumors about a trade too.
Draymond and Wiseman to Atlanta Hawks for Capela and John Collins

That would be a good move for the Warriors management after the incident. I mean the matter may have been contained for now but I doubt this would be forgotten. It may escalate at a later time so I don't think it's ideal to keep them together.

Draymond may be a valuable asset to the team but he's the most replaceable out of the three core.

A good move to avoid a possible altercation in the future but when it comes to their strength, trading Green doesn't benefit the team because they won't be having a reliable center anymore. Joe Lacob and Bob Myers also spoke about the altercation, they are just considering to give a Green a suspension and not a trade.

The team's best defense is on their offense anyway so anyone who could protect the paint and hustle for the team is a good alternative. OgNasty already said Green doesn't have that same offensive threat so I think Capela is a decent replacement for Green.

I don't expect it to happen before the new season starts. It could be on the next trade window.

I cannot see the Warriors wanting to trade Green unless he gets pissed if they don't give him a max deal. While he is an asshole and a hothead, he also gets under players skin and throws off their game along with being a top tier defender. He's well worth keeping i'm just not sure he's worth max money.

He is not. Not anymore after that incident. He made a lot of analysts look deeper into his past performance and many NBA fans think he may not be worth the money anymore. Just one mistake made a lot of opinions about him flip.

What I didn't like after watching 20 minutes of 35 minutes of the press interview on Draymond? (Yes, I stopped midway because I didn't like what I am hearing.)
He said earlier in that interview that he won't go into details about how he came to decide on punching JP. Why? Because he doesn't want sympathy that would change the opinion of people.
Afterward, there are questions that can be answered in a short manner and yet he always makes it long with stories and repeated apologies.
For me, he is gaining sympathy by doing that and IMO, it was his plan. He may have not said the details but he did it in a way people won't realize they are already on his side because he sounded real.
He's a good talker, I give him that. Maybe he should continue his podcast career instead of NBA.

I am sure that there will be disciplinary action for this, we just wait and see how long the suspension will be. It will look bad for the organization if they let Green unscathed after what he did to his teammate. That kind of action should not be tolerated even if they are the star of their teams. That will set a bad precedent that they can just punch teammates and be left unpunished.

I think it is all in the talks, maybe Jordan Poole has seen how sincerely apologetic Draymond  Green was towards him and decided to back out of the issue and not let any fine or bad blood towards him aswell, or the management has quickly controlled the situation, maybe after this season they will now trade Green to a new team, but that depends on his performance this season, for me, I think there is still some little fragments of hate but they can not let that take over them for the sake of the team and the championship,

It will surely depend on Draymond Greens' performance this season, if the Golden State Warriors will let him stay or just traded him, elsewhere, he should have shown his capabilities this season or a window for a trade will surely open for sure,

I am sure that there will be disciplinary action for this, we just wait and see how long the suspension will be. It will look bad for the organization if they let Green unscathed after what he did to his teammate. That kind of action should not be tolerated even if they are the star of their teams.

There might be and there should be, but it will all depend on the talk they had, if the management of the Warriors will simply let this pass, I think it will surely happen again, and I really want Jordan Poole to speak out his mind as well,

There might be an inside disciplinary action that they are dealing with right now,

after the public apology Draymond said that he will be out for a while so the management can take care of things
not really sure if there're any relations with the same issue inside. But we will be able to judge things when update
comes up. Draymond's actions should not be tolerated. We are no longer in the time of the gangsters he should act
as a pro and a good example.

[OgNasty]

While Draymond spends time away from the team, I was surprised to see Jordan Poole back in action today against the Lakers. They lost by 3 but Poole put up 25 and had a nice highlight. Anthony Davis and Kendrick Nunn had big games though. Great to see Nunn back. He was the missing piece last year that caused them to be so bad.

Yes, the guy is obviously worth a keep but definitely not worth a max contract. Even before this incident, I really don't think he can get a max contract. He's probably bluffing in order to get a better deal with his dying stats. He still got this season though to prove his worth. And we will see what the team chemistry looks like after this incident.

Draymond's podcast is getting more and more popular, especially when he won another title last season. He can really get a good job at commentating or even focusing on his podcast after his NBA career.

Maybe, they're not going to publicize it if there's a disciplinary action but it seems if it's already okay and they're good again, then so be it.

They had their pre season game against the Lakers and things likely normal again so, whatever this issue and fight that has happened, they're probably ignore any triggering articles or news about it since it's already done.

Jordal Poole's improvement continues. I guess the Warriors did a really good job in finding their own gems by developing their players from scratch. Wiseman is very notable in the pre season playing impressively and putting up huge numbers.
The chances for the Warriors for a repeat this year is huge.

On the other hand, i think the Lakers will be better if they avoid injuries this year.

Maybe for now yes he has a good contribution to the team but what about for next succeeding years? For sure his game play will decline more and leadership will not totally help their team for more longer times since for sure its just a waste of their asset to spend a huge contract for a possible bench warmer. Green is 32 years old and giving max contract is not totally worth for the management

Yeah, Nunn and Davis have been performing very well during these preseason games, and those two guys will be very useful to the Lakers if they avoid injuries during the regular season. As for Green and Poole, I think the Warriors' management will have to make a tough choice between signing a new contract with either Green or Poole next offseason. I'm more than sure that the Warriors would prefer Poole, given that he is still young and has great potential.

Jordan Poole surprised me with his performance...despite being a preseason game, he played so good and had an impressive performance against the Lakers!

I may even be talking some nonsense or something like that, but if Pooler stays with this performance, I even imagine that he could be an AllStar in his future, of course this is just a presumption on my part.

Let's see if he can keep up with that performance during the regular season.

On the other hand, i think the Lakers will be better if they avoid injuries this year.

The Warriors have been known for their good management that's why they are dominating the league in the past 8-9 years.
Not only that, but they also have a good coach in Coach Kerr. The one player that really improved after his stint with the Warriors was Javale McGee. He has known because of his Shaq-tin a Fool moments but when he went to the Warriors, they developed him into a better big and after a few years, he can be called as a reliable big now.

Now they are developing Jordan Poole and also Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors management can unleash a player's potential if they know that they really have. Just look at GPII. A player who is in the D-League, Warriors gave him a 10-day contract and then gave a full 1-year contract and now he's with the Blazers already with I think a 3-year contract.

The Warriors can still improve Poole and I guess the drama with him, and Draymond will not affect his performance... or it will. Let's see. On the other hand, Lakers has already been a dominating team and we've seen that in the bubble. It's just that their trades last season and injuries affected them and Lebron can't carry the team by himself that's why he need 2 all-star caliber player who can help him. Injuries are unavoidable but it can be lessened. Lebron and Westbrook aren't prone to injuries, but AD is, and I will not be surprised if he will be injured again this season. If they will avoid injuries, they might clinch the playoffs, but I don't see them as a title contender anymore. Not with their current roster.

[Plaguedeath]

Let's see if he can keep up with that performance during the regular season.

His performance a quite unstable, previous match already become a proof. I think Wiseman is actually will become All Star, he's performance is really good on most of the matches, he carried Warriors to get many points.

Maybe for now yes he has a good contribution to the team but what about for next succeeding years? For sure his game play will decline more and leadership will not totally help their team for more longer times since for sure its just a waste of their asset to spend a huge contract for a possible bench warmer. Green is 32 years old and giving max contract is not totally worth for the management

Yeah, it's almost impossible for old player to stay in basketball since every year there's a young generation who's more aggressive and fast that would outplayed old player. In the next few years he will get replaced by Jonathan Kuminga.

Why are you surprised? last year was a break thorough performance already, even with Klay Thompson back in the team, he still perform way above, he even beat Steph in FT percentage this year.

And yes, if he remains consistent this year, him and Wiggins will fight it out to be included in All Star. Wiggins got his first last year and then others question it. But he proved his critics wrong in the playoffs with huge game. We might see that to Poole this year.

There's nothing to be surprise here as Poole had already showed his star quality, actually, he as per rumors, he will get an extension with a big contract, so he will continue to impressed the management and the fans as well.

[danherbias07]

9 more days before the regular season starts. It's heating up already in the preseason.
LA Clippers. John Wall playing like he is meant to be on the team.
Portland Trail Blazers with Jerami Grant making them strong on the inside while Damian Lillard can make it rain outside.
More teams in the Western part will try to squeeze every win to make it to the playoffs. Even the play-in tournament will be a hot zone when the rankings end.
