Draymond Green said all the right things. Seemed sincere.
But the Warriors have been here before. Their once-high tolerance is very low. Trust is frayed to the max. Repairing this might not be possible. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio…8:10 PM

As a purely academic exercise, what is Draymond Green’s trade value today?
It’s a little weird, because I’d rather have him than Rudy Gobert… yet I’m pretty confident he’d net less in a trade than Dejounte Murray did. – 5:18 PM

The massive exaggerated response to the Draymond punch video is both so predictable and telling.

Draymond hit less than 30% of his 3’s last season. He has not made over 31% of them in 6 seasons. He is not a fit for the Lakers at all. The Bulls finished 4th last season in 3pt%, their C hit 31%, and they were 24th in DRTG. That deal has legs. – 7:52 AM

Asked both Bones Hyland and Michael Porter Jr about Aaron Gordon’s play so far:
Bones: “dominant on that low block” says he’s in AG’s ear when he plays good defense and his opponent makes a tough shot.
MPJ: “he reminds me of Draymond Green’s impact on the game.” pic.twitter.com/NFVXX21O4L11:40 PM

Draymond Green was arrested in 2016 on an assault charge — dropped as he paid a fine. Jermaine Edmondson, the Michigan State football player who said he was punched in the face, said today on IG: “It’s crazy how the universe works, man. What goes around definitely comes around.” – 11:30 PM

More on this storyline

“I’ve been around Draymond,” Williams said. “I know he’s passionate, he’s emotional, but he’s also a guy that cares. To see him in that light, I was like, man, that’s really not who he is. I worked with him on the (2016) Olympic team and that’s not the guy that I know.” -via Arizona Republic / October 8, 2022
Williams praised the culture of the Warriors, saying he never wants to say anything to disrespect it, but also understands the challenges of that situation. “I know that’s a tough thing to deal with when you have that kind of tension in your practice,” Williams said. “I felt bad for both of the guys. I felt bad for their team because this is the time of the year where you’re trying to focus on that (pointing to the court). The last thing you want is distractions.” -via Arizona Republic / October 8, 2022
