Draymond Green reflects on loss to Kings, Klay Thompson's future, what's next for Steph & Warriors

Draymond Green reacts to the Golden State Warriors' tough loss in the NBA Play-in Tournament to the Sacramento Kings, how the defense was able to hold Steph Curry to a modest game, and Klay Thompson's tough shooting night. Then, Dray discusses the future of the Dubs, including Klay's contract situation heading into free agency and what the team needs to return to the NBA Finals. Dray also discusses the rest of the play-in games, including the Kings vs. the New Orleans Pelicans without Zion Williamson, the Philadelphia 76ers beating the Miami Heat behind Joel Embiid's performance, Jimmy Butler's injury, and why Dray thinks the Sixers can beat Jalen Brunson's New York Knicks in the postseason.

[@andysauro1500]

Draymond likes talking basketball. So let's talk basketball. Sacs defense wasn't as great as you said. The offensive awareness of you guys was pretty poor. In the first 5 minutes you had Trayce rolling in a wide open lane to the basket 3 separate times and nobody fed him. Instead Klay elected to shoot over a double team, Wiggins went for a drive into the defense, and Curry dribbled into the corner and got doubled, swinging the pass cross court. A drop-off would have got a dunk from Trayce. Trayce got benched inexcusable for this. The effort level on defense, especially transition was bad. People weren't sprinting back. Communication clearly wasn't happening except on Fox doubles. But the DHOs to Keegan? Nobody stepped up. The gameplan to put Dray on Sabonis was nonsensical. It puts Trayce on Barnes, whose only offensive value is to post up in the corner as a shooter. You should have played Barnes because you can sag off, help off ball, and close out in time. Plus we all know HB is TERRIFIED of you Dray. This doesn't even touch on how many times people got caught either ball watching on defense and losing their man, or not keeping their head on a swivel on offense, dribbling up court, and getting swiped from behind. I say all of this with love of the Warriors and the game of basketball. That loss was on poor gameplan, poor execution, and poor effort. You deserved the loss on the merit. That being said, the team got significantly better by the end of the season. And I'm very high on the 4 young guys. I'm hopeful for next season. Regards, for the love of basketball.

[@sup9542]

About the 4 young guys...I've been a Kuminga defender for years against irrational haters, but I'm no longer high on him. It wasn't a 1 and done elimination game like Draymond said - we actually had 3 playoff games. We had the Mavs game to get the 8th seed (with no Luka), the Pelicans game to get the 8th seed (with no Ingram), and the Sac game. Kuminga ducked the first 2. He had 5 games off for knee tendonitis and Kerr thought he was going to be ready for the Mavs and saw him warming up, but he sat. Then he comes back the next game and takes a nasty spill and and misses the Pelicans game with back pain. After a great couple months it's like he suddenly didn't want to play because the refs weren't calling fouls anymore. Just driving to the basket clumsily and then crying to the refs every time. I still think he can be a good player, but I'm more open to seeing him as a trading piece now.

[@sup9542]

Should have avoided the play in entirely, just too many stupid losses. But anyway, you can't win a championship when your starting lineup is weak and your coaching can't adapt. We were carried by the second unit in a lot of games. The CP3-Trayce-Klay combination was a killer, and wasn't used at all in this game. And I've always been a Kuminga defender but I was disappointed by him in the last month. The Mavs game to get the 8th seed was critical and he ducked it. His knees were fine. And he's had this shitty body language, whining to the refs every time he gets blocked. But I'm not disappointed in Wiggins because I already knew he checked out after he got his contract.

[@JBadge]

Alot of people are saying if draymond didn't get suspended we would've had a better season. Partially true but also a Cop out for STEVE KERRS Decisions..... Kerr barely started trusting kuminga this season and still for some reason doesn't trust Moses Moody enough. Imagine those 2 guys from the beginning of the season both already having big roles whether it's starting or first off the bench(for moody) instead Kerr decides to experiment line ups til the end of the season. Love podz but he shouldn't have got that starting Job over Moody during the season especially when Kerr knows he doesn't really trust rookies in the playoffs so why are we even wasting our time? Moody helped us win a ring already and was more than ready for that role we still have yet to get to see Moses Moody unleashed and in a rhythm cause this coach treats him like a Rookie in the dog house still. It's ridiculous. Kid deserves better and I hope he gets it whether it's with or without being on this team. Kerr has handled him so poorly

[@JBadge]

I'm not going for the we didn't have enough talent narrative. We had the talent the coach just couldn't put it together. Idk if that's all his choice or steph/dray have some say so in these decisions too but it's time for everybody to wake tf up and realize we are nearing the end and there's no more time to waste. We have this young talent ready to take the baton from Klay and Wiggins. I don't mind keeping them at all and think they'd both be great off the bench. Like imagine a bench with CP3 Klay Thompson Andrew Wiggins and Podz for a whole season? With Moody and Kuminga starting getting a rhythm playing with the Greatest point guard of all time and one of the greatest defenders of all time? We could easily still be playing basketball rn regardless of draymonds suspensions if Kerr knew how to utilize his young talent. Ight im done see yall next season

[@GP61477]

Hello Draymond - Hope this msg reaches you. First thing, I am a fan of Golden State Warriors and I am a general audience. I love Steph, Klay and you. But, I have some inputs for you to make GS a better team. 1. Be more positive and stop thinking about the retirement and make statements like the management should take care of you etc. Please be of the mindset that there is no retirement and you fight like a dog on the court everyday until you no longer can walk. That is how you win another championship. Stop thinking that your 4 championships are your last and it is time to just sit and keep celebrating those titles. 2. Be available for the team. You keep getting suspended for silly reasons. It hurts the team directly. A small guy like Steph can carry so much without much defense in the team. 3. When Steph had Pool as the main second scorer, you hurt the team by punching him and hurt the team chemistry. I hope that thing never happened, what ever might be the reason. Please make sure your team chemistry is strong. 4. Stop trying to laugh out your suspensions. Be more serious and be more focussed and repent for the suspensions rather than taking it easy and be available. This is a repeat point, bcs this is important. GS would have won 5-6 titles already if you were more available, dedicated and make intelligent decisions in few situations. 5. Please do the shows only when you are absolutely free and not on game days, so you can focus on game strategy’s rather than post retirement KZbin channel content. If you speak about retirement benefits when playing actively, your team will also get lazy and think that the run was over and they start thinking about retirement benefits too. Hope you take it positive Draymond. Let’s go Warriors and let’s win a 5th championship and be among games greatest 5 championship winners like Magic, Duncan. Right now Steph, Klay and you are on par with Shaq and Lebron. But, your legacy grows A LOT if you get that 5th ring and Lebron who is from your generation is stuck at four.

And it's on Dray too with the suspension and anger management issues, which have affected us at different times during the dynasty (2016 finals, beefing with KD, punching Poole, getting Indefinitely suspended, getting ejected throughout his career).

Been a warrior fan from Oakland all my life! This team was Magical to the real fans! Loyal to the soil! Bring Klay back!

[@pwilmott4843]

No break down on kings vs pels?

[@Solo2121]

I don't understand the logic of you guys who keep saying shit like "Dray, if you would have not been suspended then we'd have been the #6 seed". If we get dog walked by a team that's a #9 seed and missing really big pieces, what makes you think it would have been more than a 5 game series against the #3 seed?? Especially considering the #3 seed has the dubs biggest weakness right now being a dominant interior defender?? So you guys are just mad that the dubs didn't get a chance to get swept? Get over it, the dubs were trash this year and weren't going anywhere with that roster construction.

[@teal2913]

Facts, I think people are just using the suspension as their last excuse for why this team isn’t contending so they don’t have to finally face the reality that this team just doesn’t have enough. The roster isn’t good enough.

[@naranja1972]

But had they gotten a playoff spot, it’s a 7 game series. Teams lose games, they lost by like 40 vs memphis in game 5 in 2022 and went on to win the chip

[@thefourthquarter7429]

I sort off agree with this. I think if there was no suspension they would have had a chance against several teams to win a first round series. That said, they aren't a contender even if they were a 4-6 seed. As for roster construction, you are so right. They so need another offensive star to share the load with Steph. It doesn't help that the young players are years away from being consistent play-off performers. They won't likely be ready on Steph's time-line. That means that if they want to contend soon, some of these young guys (who will become really good players) will have to be traded. It is what it is.

[@dangerzone3470]

You’re right. I think you gotta give Dunleavy credit for a pretty dam good first draft. But the lack of a solidified #2 shot creator to Steph and at least 1 Seven footer when we need to play big, all of that handicapped us. You could tell our vets were spent too with how hard they had to work at the end of the season just to get a 10 seed with 4 wins shy of a 50 win season. Just my dumb 2 cents

[@Solo2121]

@@naranja1972 I literally addressed that in my post when I said they'd lose in 5 games. If that 2022 team had to face a 9 seed for a 1 game winner takes all do you think that team would lose by 20+ pts? And you are ignoring that even when they had Dray they were woefully bad against the top teams, Minn included. Also the game you mentioned in 2022 was game 5, as in NOT a critical game with Ja injured so by losing that game they could win the series at home the next game. The entire point here is that if that's the best they could do in a winner takes all game then they stand no chance in a 7 game series against higher seeds who are healthy (Sac was not) and they match up worse against (they match up great against Sac).

[@danielginzberg4349]

I love the podcast keep it up drey. Looking forward to seeing what the warriors do next season (hopefully with klay)

[@darlenewilliams5535]

Well, I hope that next season, you become a more disciplined player and be there for the team. Have a great off-season, but just remember, your suspension plated a part in this season as well, especially when you knew the team needed you.. I will say, this year you played much better. But build your confidence in shooting your shot. Enjoy. Your off-season with your family. I am warriors for life . Blessings

[@Stilettoexec]

Dray y’all really should retire together and go down in history as the best Big 3 ever to play in the league.

[@RoE99]

So glad to hear you say "we ain't done" because....we love our DUBS!! Next year!!

[@trifonstatkov477]

In one of your guest appearances (I think in PG podcast) you mentioned the things necessary/conducive to preparing for a game on match day. Can you elaborate a bit more on that topic, please? Thank you, Dray.

[@waheedpix]

What's annoying is hearing you talk after you completely effed up the season for your team.

[@jstiggers10]

Then why are you here “ hearing “ him speak? Interesting. 🤨

[@brianorser1158]

The front office brought in Chris Paul to save the day 😅?????

[@luckycooper4301]

Dray all love playa back at it next year LG!

[@Thiago_TT_MIA]

Steph, Dray and Klay are the only untouchables on this team. Blow up the rest of the roster and fire the GM/Coach

[@darr0en]

gotta do what's best for team and the franchise's future , Steph is the only untouchable one.

[@rollin60z]

Klay had a good run, but we gotta let him go. 0-10 in the biggest game of the season, Steph shouldve had those shots. Its sad but its time to move on

[@Stilettoexec]

Absolutely not

[@rhythm449]

You and LEBRON have the uncanny talent to visually recall every aspect of a game. AMAZING

[@parmeetsingh1636]

Whole lotta smiles for someone who just sabotaged half of the season

[@JasonSmith-pe5py]

You said you've never been done this early....I thought you guys lost 1 other time in the play in...am I wrong? I'm Denver fan but much respect to you Draymond. Hl HOF lock,& 1 of the best defenders ever...1 of the highest basketball iq ever-on a LeBron or Jokic level in that respect. And I think ya also played in at least 1 Final 4,& at least 1/Olympic gold-maybe 2-which all counts towards HOF.

[@philhargrove1522]

I think a lot of yall see this season as a negative. lol. Hate to tell yall this but without Drays suspension, yall wouldn’t had found out the potential of Brandon and Trace. Warriors were not going to win the chip this year. At all. Even if they were the 4-6 seed. They just don’t have enough talent but the future is bright cause the rookies. Build up trace. Jonathan got to become a more consistent second-third level scorer. Trade for a younger 3 and D guy in loss of Klay. Brandon become a younger cp3 and put the ball in his hand more to take load off Steph. And I think it’s possible to go on one last run for dray and Steph. Either way you have to go all in for Steph. They owe him that.

[@Superbayfactory]

I was at the game, these guys are some of the best players to ever touch the ball, the kings fan in me was happy we can still keep playing, but as a lifelong bay area resident, always supported the Dubs (y'all kept me sane during our rough seasons). Even saw klays 37pt 3rd qtr in person you don't forget that kind of greatness. Feeling the pain right now, they wont break up the 3, loosing cp3 may be a good thing , many players are going to be available this off season so Dubs will some good options. Wish y'all the best. Norcal vs the world.

[@KyleMillis]

Dubs fans always got your back Draymond!

[@ax-dsd5753]

Klay should’ve got the extension.. step and klay needed a new team mate

They happen to be younger and better. Imagine if Monk and Huerter had healthy enough to play. It would've been a bloodbath.

Excellent Podcast Draymond. I appreciate your assessment of this Season! Now get in the Gym and work on your 3-pointer! Next season you're going to need it!

[@thatfatguy7591]

Draymond you are 100% at fault for GsW early playoff exit. Your headlock on Gobert cost your team a 5 game suspension. And then your wild punch on Nurkic cost you another 12 game suspension. You had 4 ejections as well. That's 21 of 82 games you were either out for completely or missed significant amount of game time. 25% of the season you did not play bec of your actions. If anyone gets traded first it should be you.
