That Bonsai metaphor is incredible

That "can you handle that?" question is powerful stuff. Let me add that to the repertoire

JJ is so slick with it. "I'm not a reporter, bro" 😂. Let them get comfortable first to get that info.

Jj thank you for doing these kinds of interviews and giving the average fan incredible insight to how things go at the highest level of basketball 🏀 ❤

[@leronmclean9361]

The mismanagement of the Green/Poole situation occurred before the punch was ever thrown. There was tension in the locker room because several players were up for extension and there wouldn't be enough for multiple players to get their max contracts. And there was various reports on how Jordan Poole was was behaving and how a lot of the Warrior players were tired of his attitude. A coach should have been between Poole and Green as soon as they started yapping.

Crazy sex all day

[@eric2892]

Good sleep helps, esp as we age. Probably slept well at night knowing he didn’t hide behind lies because he pushed the player to think if the player could handle the truth.

[@MrKohulann30]

I get that he has good perspective but that Draymond-Poole situation was hilariously mismanaged

Salute to TMZ for not snitching on who leaked the video. That’s probably the one area they’re full of integrity in lol

[@zoogie980]

I mean if they leaked info like that they’d stop getting good sources. Its not integrity for integrity’s sake, its just good business.

Idk why but I just really don’t believe they didn’t find out who leaked the footage lol

[@Brzcvi]

1000% lol

[@aja3longhorn375]

There's really not THAT many people that would have access to the footage. It honestly saved them a bit with what ended up happening to Poole.

[@MarkPerchatsch]

If TMZ was able to get their hands on the Ray Rice elevator footage, the Warriors could have figured out who leaked the practice footage.

[@JReece3000]

@@MarkPerchatsch well just like the ray rice footage this footage was sold to tmz. So I guess you could say tmz leaked it but them not knowing who on staff handed over the footage for a payday. The ray rice one is different because that was at a casino and the incident happened MONTHS before TMZ got ahold of it so god knows how many ppl saw those monitors.

[@wf2197]

I’ve always said that people shouldn’t be asking questions if they don’t want an answer different than their own. That’s desiring validation, not a true question posed to another.

[@kaydee1485]

Not really in these situations. People have houses and families tied into these situations. I get not wanting to potentially mess up team chemistry over a potential trade thar didn't go through but usually the way these things pan out have the players looking stupid.

[@paulhenderson7605]

JJ said he would want the truth from a GM about being traded . But I would say 38 year old JJ could handle the truth better than the 22 year old JJ

“Are you going to trade me?” is an inaccurate analogy to “are you going to fire me?” You’re still getting a paycheck on the team they traded you to.

insane that they’re still focusing on the leaking of the video and not the fact that a way smaller dude got assaulted by his teammate

[@DrakonKyrios]

Because it matters more, fights happen all the time (info from former players), but you leak that information it becomes a lot worst for everyone. Fans/Opponents taunting you, business opportunities, need for revenge, tons of stuff that will haunt you your whole life. A contained incident is far better for everyone, as long as it was settled properly.

@@DrakonKyriosthat is all true, however, it should still matter that it did actually happen in the first place

You don't know what Jordan Poole was like. The team backing Draymond means Poole was hated by the team and management after the big contract. Some people desereve to be punched!

[@vanessa2363]

@@DrakonKyrios that wasn’t even a fight. you do that anywhere else and you could get sued. it doesn’t “matter more” because if he doesn’t punch him LIKE THAT in the first place there’s nothing to be leaked

Being an NBA GM would be incredibly easy. You only have to find 10 guys and have no minor league to worry about. If you find 3 good players you are set. The amount of downtime in this job would be insane.

[@luf4rall]

It's no guarantee to win with 3 good players and you need to pay 2 of those players max contracts. You probably can't afford to pay the third player.
