[@fudgematthew33]

My former pastor used to have a saying: "When the issue isn't the issue."

[@jasonu3741]

KD didnt leave because of that argument.... The Argument was fueled by the Idea KD was going to leave meaning it was known in the locker room and it boiled over with Draymond. KD left because winning a chip didnt feel like he thought it would, when he watched Jordan hold the trophy and cry or Kobe jump up on the table with his fist balled he didnt get that same emotion they felt, his chip felt more manufactured in a lab like a math equation, Best Player + Best Team = Chip. Just like Lebron chip in Miami felt more like relief than joy (his chip in Cleveland however you saw the tears and emotion). however what Draymond did removed any chance KDs decision could be changed.

Just my opinion I always thought and still think KD left because he wanted to prove that he could win without GS because that’s what everybody was saying “he had to join a championship made team” “he can’t win without a super team” but I also feel like that Draymond situation was just the final straw it probably just got so awkward in the locker room after that.

[@seanswinton6242]

I think KD went to GSW as a reaction to his rival LBJ who went to Miami to 2 ring success. KD did it, got 2 rings, MVPs and was headed for a third. The injury, the Draymond/Kerr issues, and the validation a championship was supposed to give him fell short in his mind. Why? Critics said he didn't build it. KD felt unfufilled. Enter the Brooklyn Nets. They have no recent chips neither does the city of New York. Getting a ring in Brooklyn or NYC would be historic. Historic like LBJ's ring in Cleveland and Giannis's ring in Milwaukee. Both cities have NBA Championship droughts. In Brooklyn him, Kyrie, Blake Griffin or anyone on last year's team is on the Championship team can say it helped from the beginning. The historic nature of that win would be true validation. Kyrie, KD, and Harden could silence some critics. The LBJ fanboys, not likely.

[@momsdadsparentsworldtour4570]

@@seanswinton6242 - I agree with the first part and parts of your later points.

I really think people missing something BIG with this. Draymon had to keep pushing KD to make a decision bc Bob Myers wouldve had to make a decision to keep KD over draymon when extensions was coming up. If KD stayed, that would have gotten Draymon traded after the 2019 season. It was a HEAVY play by Draymon and his agent. Ultimately, KD gets pushed out June 19' Draymon got the extension Aug 19'. The arguments was about are you staying or leaving. ALSO Rich Paul was the agent 👀.

It’s totally on players. They should have talked it out, man to men. For them to try to blame it on anybody else is just childish and immature.

@@newrecruit100 wrong now you are adding things that wasn’t included in the interview. And why couldn’t they just squash the beef outside the court. How about Curry the great leader why couldn’t he get them to solve the beef. Just sounds like a bunch of excuses by a loud mouth and a confused young man. You sound questionable defending there actions. Like they are your boyfriend or something.

KDs choice to join the warriors... Was the reason why he left .. no one respects him and he didn't feel fulfilled and therefore he didn't get the respect given to "real" champs.. he needs to win a chip with a team that is "his"... KD became Scotty pippen lol

[@newrecruit100]

Don’t get it. KD and Draymond tell y’all what happened and their perspectives yet people are telling them they’re wrong or that they’re to blame. Smh.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Draymond playing for the warriors back to back seasons played terrible and he has the audacity to disrespect his coach and gm. Draymond is an idiot he need to be humbled and traded. He’s not worth the issues he brings.

[@ShaunCruzNYC]

You can tell KD isn't being honest. He is weak for that.

[@ShatterNWO]

they contradict themselves, they say it was a beef between just them 2, but also thought management should do more, yet Draymond didn't like being asked to apologize and said they did nothing when they suspended him for it. You can't say management did nothing and then complain about the stuff they did.

[@kayg7195]

@@ShaunCruzNYC how can u tell? U know KD? Y’all talked personally?? Or are u just making something up because u don’t like him

[@countryrah]

Kd left because you couldn’t be Lebron but he left too early a couple more years he would’ve been put up there

[@qnzman578]

KD also said that he always felt like it was Kevin Durant and the Warriors, like he wasn't really a part of the team, I'm sure that played a bigger part in his departure than the Draymond fight, he wanted to go somewhere where he wasn't looked at as this x factor to an already successful and established situation.

KD this? LeBron that? The NBA Finals this season made d!ckriders nervous b/c the time is coming for the younger to step up. Giannis alone getting another ring for example will definitely shake up everyone from fans to media personalities. P.S. - LeBron didn't set this team up for KD he set it up for the perimeter dominance of Giannis. That means he's confident about seeing him possibly at the Finals next season.
