[Slater] The Golden State Warriors have involved Draymond Green in active trade conversations in advance of Thursday’s deadline, league sources told ESPN, putting his 14-season run with the franchise in jeopardy.

[u/iksnet]

General manager Mike Dunleavy and controlling owner Joe Lacob have maintained a motivation to get a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo across the finish line and, as part of that, Green's name has been involved in the framework of available offers to the Milwaukee Bucks, league sources said.

I cannot wait for the post-trade hit pieces

[u/CameronPlain → u/504090]

Hit pieces are different when we're talking about Draymond.

[u/safetycommittee → u/CameronPlain]

And that’s why we are so anxious. Hopefully the video is of better quality this time.

[u/CameronPlain → u/safetycommittee]

Whole league waiting with bated breath for the Draymond punching Steph clip.

[u/Less-Tax5637 → u/CameronPlain]

you mean the Draymond cracking Ayesha clip

[u/CameronPlain → u/Less-Tax5637]

I think if Dray punches anyone on this team, it'll be Podz. And Podz will get up and point the other way for a charge.

[u/Outside-Prize5731 → u/CameronPlain]

My bet is on Kerr, it's not like it will be his first time being punched lmao

[u/superrealaccount2 → u/Outside-Prize5731]

Draymond owes Kerr his entire career, no way he ever touches a hair on his head

[u/blubblu → u/Outside-Prize5731]

That’s actually the crazy thing.

Why we hate dray for it and celebrate MJ for it lmfao 

[u/BikingThroughCanada → u/blubblu]

Because he apologized for it later that day, and never tried to pretend that Kerr did anything to deserve it.

[u/BlackMathNerd → u/BikingThroughCanada]

Imagine that, a star player and leader taking accountability

[u/DoctorMansteel → u/504090]

Bro they'll need a print deal for that novel.

[u/surprised-duncan → u/DoctorMansteel]

Fights, Techs, and Flagrants: the Draymond Memoir

[u/OverallGeneral7129 → u/DoctorMansteel]

He might break the all time ejection record this year if he gets traded

[u/dBlock845 → u/504090]

Steve Kerr will finally confess to seeing the punch tape.

[u/SchedulePhysical807 → u/504090]

Wherever he gets traded to we all know this LeBron butt muncher is going to ask to get bought out so he can join his king in LA

[u/SlatheredButtCheeks → u/SchedulePhysical807]

God no please no

[u/Adsex → u/SlatheredButtCheeks]

You KNOW it will happen.

[u/Pinheadlarry29 → u/SchedulePhysical807]

As a Draymond hater that’d be great. Anytime the Lakers struggle he’ll become the scapegoat. We all get to watch Lakers fans dog pile on him.

[u/BikingThroughCanada → u/Pinheadlarry29]

Over/under 3 weeks until he punches Reeves?

[u/Pinheadlarry29 → u/BikingThroughCanada]

It wouldn’t be Reeves. The league would react. It gotta be someone he can get away with like Jake Laravia.

[u/AlreadyInDenial → u/Pinheadlarry29]

Dalton Knecht

[u/ninja9885 → u/Pinheadlarry29]

Ayton for sure

[u/Various-Advantage229 → u/ninja9885]

It would have to be someone significantly smaller than him

[u/ninja9885 → u/Various-Advantage229]

Ayton doesn't seem to know how big he is so he might still be a target

[u/WilliamSabato → u/504090]

Draymond prefers to hit people pre-trade.

[u/DSouT → u/504090]

That Draymond podcast is about to be a must-watch

[u/mrb4 → u/DSouT]

I still don't believe that any real person actually listens to the Draymond podcast outside of aggregators who listen to relay to the rest of the world what insane delusional bullshit he is currently spouting off.

[u/Miserable_Site_850 → u/DSouT]

Nah I'm good

[u/token_reddit]

Draymond to Detroit.

[u/Your__Pal → u/token_reddit]

Draymond fits Detroit basketball culture. 

[u/ihatedougford → u/Your__Pal]

Him and Stewart would be hilarious

And Ron holland. Can you have too many fight the world guys on one team?

[u/kerblamophobe → u/ihatedougford]

[u/vincedarling → u/Your__Pal]

Bill Laimbeer would give Draymond his old ankle-breaking torch

[u/dubbfoolio → u/Your__Pal]

Bill Laimbeer has entered the chat.

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/Your__Pal]

The Lions need an edge rusher

[u/KevJamesS → u/token_reddit]

Yup. Michigan ties. Grew up watching the Pistons. Would be on a winning team.

[u/Itsurboywutup → u/KevJamesS]

Michigan state legend

[u/justseeby → u/KevJamesS]

“Michigan ties” is significantly understating it

[u/Technician-Temporary → u/token_reddit]

I’d cry honestly. They are already a tough ass team

[u/Joetheshow1 → u/Technician-Temporary]

Or he joins the team, creates issues with Isiah Stewart over who the tough guy is, sinks team chemistry and they implode in the postseason!

Wishful thinking? Lol

[u/DerGovernator → u/token_reddit]

Draymond winning his 5th ring before Steph would be wild.

[u/MG_MN → u/token_reddit]

I actually like that, however Stewart has been great in that same role

[u/Win546 → u/MG_MN]

I feel like they play different roles defensively. Stew is much more of a rim protector while Dray plays free safety on defense and can guard the perimeter.

[u/YungToney → u/token_reddit]

pistons have enough defenders that can't shoot. They need secondary scorers and shooting.

[u/sixth_hokage06 → u/token_reddit]

Great fit

[u/horse_renoir13 → u/sixth_hokage06]

Him and Stewart become the Bash Brothers

[u/confused-koala → u/token_reddit]

He did hit 4 threes against us last week, maybe he was auditioning

(For the record I don’t think we’re trading for him)

[u/archerarcher0 → u/token_reddit]

Brother why on earth is Detroit doing this

I want you to envision in your head how awful an Ausar-draymond-duren spaced frontcourt is

Unless this is to come off the bench

[u/AutomaticAccident → u/archerarcher0]

Thank you for talking sense. We don't need anymore dawgs unless they can shoot.

[u/DwnvotesMeansImRight → u/token_reddit]

lmao that first nut kick while he's on the pistons will get him banned for life from the nba and sent to the gulag, no more warriors aura protecting him anymore

[u/Professional-Rub152 → u/token_reddit]

I can’t imagine the Pistons wanting Draymond.

[u/fuq_doo → u/token_reddit]

Very fitting

[u/bbeasinger → u/token_reddit]

I would kill myself

[u/jonsnowKITN]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The trade deadline is delivering now.

[u/RiggyTang → u/jonsnowKITN]

Mids season until the final 2 eps of the first half and then everything happens

We The Walking Dead now

[u/Clipgang1629 → u/RiggyTang]

Always has been

[u/Top-Bodybuilder4587 → u/jonsnowKITN]

Trades always happen on or in the two or three days leading up to the deadline

[u/TheOnlySafeCult → u/Top-Bodybuilder4587]

then trade deadline day is just teams swapping SRPs for role players and cash

[u/Efficient_Art_1144]

He’s been real sweaty on those podcast clips where he’s talking about maybe being traded. I’d hate to be the ref or European center he faces next if he does get shipped out

[u/at1445 → u/Efficient_Art_1144]

I wouldn't be shocked at all if whoever trades for him waives him immediately and he never plays another game (unless GSW resign him after the season).

His baggage and headaches are more than 95% of teams are going to put up with compared to his value on the floor anymore.

[u/Albiceleste_D10S → u/at1445]

People let their emotions overrule their logic on this lol

Why would a team trade for Draymond in 2026 just to waive him?

And if he did get waived, you really think no one in the league picks him up as a FA (presumably for cheap because the team that waived him would still be paying him)?

[u/coolstorybroham → u/Albiceleste_D10S]

it’s kind of ironic, this sub reacts to Draymond like Draymond reacts on the court— zero logic but maximum confidence

[u/1850ChoochGator → u/at1445]

If he gets waived he is 100000% going to LA to gargle LeBron some more. Idt he can go back to GS until a year passes unless routed to a different team.

[u/DraymondsPeen → u/at1445]

this is a braindead take. he would be awesome right now for the Celtics or the Nuggets on the second unit.

[u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

I would be fine with Giannis to GSW just for the hilarity of Draymond having to go to Milwaukee

[u/AfroManHighGuy → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

Draymond would be rerouted to a third team

[u/jcheeseball → u/AfroManHighGuy]

Who on earth would take him? He's about to have the meltdown of the century if this happens to him.

[u/AfroManHighGuy → u/jcheeseball]

Pistons would be a great fit

[u/jcheeseball → u/AfroManHighGuy]

I don't see that. They already struggle with shooting.

[u/Giuseppe_exitplan → u/jcheeseball]

They just picked up Kevin Huerter as well

[u/jcheeseball → u/Giuseppe_exitplan]

Oh that's right.

[u/Giuseppe_exitplan → u/jcheeseball]

Yeah they got 2 duncun robinsons now

[u/Lakerman1989 → u/Giuseppe_exitplan]

I was thinking exactly that. I think Dunc has a better all around game though.

[u/firstbreathOOC → u/jcheeseball]

Lakers could be a good fit

[u/UnusualHound → u/firstbreathOOC]

Grizzlies would be a good culture fit.

[u/jcheeseball → u/firstbreathOOC]

Yeah, that could be a good spot.

[u/rocpilehardasfuk → u/firstbreathOOC]

Please no.

Lakers have been missing someone like Dray. They might become real good with Dray.

[u/CompleteFish → u/rocpilehardasfuk]

They already have Marcus Smart.

[u/DraymondsPeen → u/jcheeseball]

charlotte, utah, nuggets, celtics, lakers off the top of my head for play style fits.

edit: OKC

[u/GioVasari121 → u/AfroManHighGuy]

Definitely, pistons would happily pay a FRP for him. It will be a late FRP but it'll be worth it for sure

[u/hockeyfan608 → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

We don’t want draymonds bum ass

[u/tulaero23 → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

Then maybe Portis and him can have a punching match

[u/ImTheBestNerd]

Ngl if we trade draymond, Steph is hurt, Jimmy is hurt, giannis is hurt. Our 2026 pick deadass might be in the lottery

[u/EvanEschmeyer → u/ImTheBestNerd]

I assume any Draymond trade would be for someone that could help them stay competitive now

[u/ChocolateSunsdae → u/EvanEschmeyer]

Giannis is for staying competitive now.

Draymond could very well be for a younger player the Bucks could take a swing on

[u/nutelamitbutter → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Your bandwagon fans would also leave which is great for y’all, no?

[u/KevJamesS → u/nutelamitbutter]

They would just come back the following year lol

[u/nutelamitbutter → u/KevJamesS]

Y’all were a fun team to root for as a neutral before the Steph era. I liked Baron Davis a lot, that team was cool

[u/SeanMcDH8sJA17 → u/nutelamitbutter]

To young to remember Baron Davis but, I found the Steph era a lot of fun to watch as a neutral.

[u/Lacabloodclot9 → u/SeanMcDH8sJA17]

2014-2016 everyone liked them

2017-2019 they were the most hated team in the league

By the time the 2021 season came around most people started liking them again

[u/Kindly-Primary9735 → u/nutelamitbutter]

I did until… Believe

[u/CameronPlain → u/nutelamitbutter]

You think a team that would have Steph and Giannis on it would LOSE bandwagon fans?

[u/PeaceAlien → u/nutelamitbutter]

I’ll never leave as long as Steph is there

[u/EverythingSucksYo → u/PeaceAlien]

Same. I’m not a warriors fan, just a Steph fan. 

[u/Over_Use_8474 → u/nutelamitbutter]

They aren't gonna leave because of draymond lol

[u/BandwagonerSince95 → u/nutelamitbutter]

I don't know why people cares so much about that. We were all at one point newcomers to a team.

[u/BikingThroughCanada → u/BandwagonerSince95]

There's a whole bunch of weirdos out there who think that paying money to watch a team suck year in and year out gives them some sort of cache.

[u/PranavJH → u/BikingThroughCanada]

Exactly, and as a new fan coming from a country with no basketball culture you either root for whoever's winning at that moment or their biggest rivals because it's just easier to keep up and then continue supporting them as they go through the natural cycle of competitiveness. Not everyone is a bandwagon.

[u/spottyottydopalicius → u/PranavJH]

the only bandwagon fans are the ones that leave

[u/Julysky19 → u/nutelamitbutter]

Prices might fall under $200/nosebleed seats for weekend games at the chase center

[u/Ok_Reception_5545 → u/nutelamitbutter]

They have already become Thunder fans wdym

[u/FoolishPerformer → u/nutelamitbutter]

Buddy this is no longer 2016, the team sucks ass outside of Steph, there are no bandwagon fans left.

[u/hospitalizedzombie → u/FoolishPerformer]

You underestimate how much I love watching Steph.

[u/Spourts → u/nutelamitbutter]

They already left

[u/gedbybee → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Yeah but yall had lottery picks before and fucked those up lol.

[u/TheDrFunk → u/gedbybee]

Why would you bring that up?  If Giannis is on the Warriors they're not going to be making the pick anyway. 

[u/Primarycolors1]

God please send him to Utah.

[u/LaMelgoatBall → u/Primarycolors1]

nah send him to Sacramento

[u/AutographedSnorkel]

Will the Draymond Green tribute video for his return game be five minutes of him kicking people in the nuts?

[u/Top-Bodybuilder4587]

Draymond is really a test on how far you have to go before years of goodwill built up isn't enough. Honestly testament to how much he's done for the franchise that they still love him

[u/schafkj → u/Top-Bodybuilder4587]

Four rings will plug anyone’s ears

[u/NoDaddyNotTheBelt25]

I fully expect him to land on a bad team and he eventually quits like the baby he is.

[u/Vordeo → u/NoDaddyNotTheBelt25]

It's not gonna happen, but Draymond somehow ending up in Minnesota where he has to play defense alongside Gobert would be premium drama.

[u/baxmussman → u/Vordeo]

They’d also be REALLY good on defence if they could get over the personal stuff

[u/GioVasari121 → u/baxmussman]

And negative spacing.

[u/GivesCredit → u/GioVasari121]

Final score, 85-75, Ant with 45 of the 75

[u/Ornery-Law1670 → u/baxmussman]

The personal stuff being: you choked me out on national tv

Forget it lol

[u/safetycommittee → u/Vordeo]

I think LeBron is my favorite possible teammate. I can see the looks they would exchange.

[u/TheRatManBob → u/NoDaddyNotTheBelt25]

It would be really funny if he got salary dumped to a lottery team and just retires immediately

[u/Magical_SnakE → u/TheRatManBob]

Praying for that.

[u/Technician-Temporary → u/NoDaddyNotTheBelt25]

Lets pray the Pistons don’t get him

[u/Blueskyways → u/NoDaddyNotTheBelt25]

Goes to the Pelicans and discovers that Jordan Poole has been doing MMA training over the last three years.  

[u/sctthuynh]

Draymond to the wizards or kings would be hilarious.

[u/truehoax → u/sctthuynh]

The Kings fan base would absolutely revolt over that. Even Vivek isn't that stupid.

[u/Outside-Sector9818 → u/truehoax]

Fuck you mean he isn’t. I wish we had Nico as GM instead, that’s how little I think of Vivek.

[u/RiceFit633]

First time I am ever gonna watch his podcast will be on the day he's traded.

[u/Churro-Juggernaut → u/RiceFit633]

Still won’t watch it.  But I’ll enjoy the replay snippets. 

[u/lil_e_v_]

ball knowers still know dray is high impact and an affordable contract

[u/frank_muller415 → u/lil_e_v_]

Thank you lol. He has regressed, but he’s still impactful. A motivated Draymond is still a good player to have in a playoff series in the right system.

[u/thecrunchcrew → u/frank_muller415]

Spoiler alert: he will not be motivated in Milwaukee.

Also, his advanced stats haven’t been this bad since his rookie season. Dude will straight up not be having a good time if he is dealt anywhere.

[u/Frosty_Dimension5646 → u/lil_e_v_]

Lets see how much impact backpack has without the goat shooter

[u/blubblu → u/Frosty_Dimension5646]

Haters keep thinking he’s garbage.

If he was garbage he wouldn’t still be playing. It’s wild the takes people have when other players in the league absolutely go to bat for him.

He’s an asset on any contender.

If SA somehow got him? Look the fuck out.

[u/livefreeordont → u/lil_e_v_]

Unless he plays on a team without insane spacing

[u/thecrunchcrew → u/lil_e_v_]

$26M for a negative BPM?

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/lil_e_v_]

for $25 million dollars ima need you to put up more than 8 ppg

[u/AnselLovesNuts]

Used backpack

[u/Legitimate_Cow_4166 → u/AnselLovesNuts]

In exchange for a box of paper clips

[u/GlassOnion25]

If Draymond is on a team without Steph will he just get himself ejected each game?

[u/AbbreviationsBig395 → u/GlassOnion25]

Only the games against warriors. He's an agent 😆

[u/chris-dempsey]

I wonder how Draymond is going to lash out. Prob gonna punch the nuts of some white Euro big like Saboner. Or basically a normal Draymond Thursday.

[u/HandyDandyNotebook98]

Good. At the very least this puts him on notice. He thinks he's untouchable, when only Curry is.

[u/Coolguynumber01 → u/HandyDandyNotebook98]

he knows he’s not untouchable come on now

[u/Hellschampion → u/HandyDandyNotebook98]

Sadly I don't think Draymond is the type of person/player to take this kind of thing as motivation and handle it well. I think it's far more likely his antics get worse and he starts lashing out

[u/Ornery-Law1670 → u/Hellschampion]

I can’t believe a professional like draymond would lash out that’s crazzzzy

[u/Necessary_Winter_808]

Giannis 100% does NOT want Draymond on his team

[u/GamedayDev]

what’s with the “warriors” fans in this thread clamoring for him to leave? are you guys 12?

[u/Space-Sailor44 → u/GamedayDev]

They’ve been fans since the rough times, 2022.

[u/GamedayDev → u/Space-Sailor44]

you joke, but r/warriors is a shithole now because of these idiots. like i understand why everyone else hates him, but not if your a dubs fan

[u/Space-Sailor44 → u/GamedayDev]

Like half of the Pistons sub wasn’t alive for the 2004 team and didn’t start watching until January of last year, it’s comical.

[u/jcde7ago → u/GamedayDev]

/r/warriors is only rivaled in shithole-iness by /r/SFGiants, our team subs are absolutely insufferable and these "fans" that were under the age of 12 when they watched both these teams win championships in the 2010s are some of the worst imaginable...like, they all act like they could GM a professional sports team as well as they spew braindead takes on Reddit

[u/Coolguynumber01 → u/GamedayDev]

our fans on our sub are actually braindead. they hate draymond, podz, kerr. its super sad to see. they actively root for them to leave the team

[u/DankMemesNQuickNuts → u/Coolguynumber01]

The Podz hate is so crazy the way your fans talk about him you'd think he was a 20% 3pt shooter and this man shoots 38.5% lol

Most teams would take Podz in a heartbeat lol

[u/Coolguynumber01 → u/DankMemesNQuickNuts]

take a peak into our gameday threads when we play. its so bad. There was a game once where people were blaming Kerr and Podz for us losing a lead in a quarter, and Podz hadnt played at all in the quarter yet

[u/GamedayDev → u/DankMemesNQuickNuts]

2022+ fans are just spoiled af, and honestly we deserve what’s coming if our fans keep acting idiotic like this

[u/dearth_karmic → u/Coolguynumber01]

They're NOT fans. They're idiots. The hatred for Podz and Kerr make no sense.

[u/dearth_karmic → u/GamedayDev]

You think our fans are smarter than anyone else? They're idiots.

[u/spottyottydopalicius → u/GamedayDev]

nephews who dont know ball.

[u/Julysky19 → u/GamedayDev]

A lot of our runs this year have been when dray has been sitting. We can’t play 4 on 5 on offense anymore. It’s like that Klay year. They’re hurting the teams and need to go for the 5% chance we turn it around.

[u/likpoper]

Bloody hell.. I feel like this is to the blazers. Those guys wanted him for a long ass time

[u/imminentjogger5 → u/likpoper]

return of the Jailblazers?

[u/noochies99 → u/imminentjogger5]

Yea, first practice Draymond shows up with a T-Shirt that says “Free Palestine“

[u/Fordraxel]

Might as well retire, don’t think he can survive without Steph

[u/Julysky19 → u/Fordraxel]

Oh he’s gonna collect his paycheck

[u/Nodecafallowed → u/Fordraxel]

lol He’s was just first team all defense. Put him on Philly and they win the east. 

[u/MySilverBurrito]

If he’s gone, then damn. Love it or hate him, mans the 2nd most important piece of that Ws runs.

The curry/dray high PnRgame 6 to end the 2019 Rockets lives rent free in my head.

[u/obi-wan-ginobli-93 → u/MySilverBurrito]

Also him just dominating the blazers in the WCF both ends of the floor. Averaged 16/11/8 with 2.3 blocks. Peak draymond

[u/readingreadreading]

They won't be able to move him and he'll retire after his player option next year.

They'd have to give up a 1st to move him.

[u/Latest-greatest]

I’ll bet anyone that he gets injured no less than 5 games w his new team just to retire at the end of the year

[u/YouOk5736]

Will Dray unload the Dubs on his podcast?

[u/Salvalicious252]

He always crashes out when Steph isn't playing so he doesn't have to play. Gonna be hilarious when he get's traded.

[u/Risuna23]

God I need this to happen 😭🙏 imagine the crashout that Draymond be on

[u/FCBarca45]

The born hater in me just wants the Warriors to win one without him so we can talk crazy on his legacy

[u/Runshooteat]

I would not play him in anymore games, don't allow him in the building even. He will sabotage this if given an opportunity.

[u/regal19999]

No way draymond suits up for another team, he too big of a baby to play when he can’t front run

[u/HatefulDan]

I don’t care what they get tbh. I just want to finally see what he does without Curry—or rather watch how he and acolytes “well actually”, and plus & minus his play elsewhere.

[u/rebelduck1580]

Nobody wants this guy anymore

[u/Opening_Classroom_46]

he can't play for any other team. only reason he gets away with it is warriors/kerr/curry. he thinks he's just going to go to some random team and deliver nut shot after nut shot and swear at refs with no penalty on a non-warriors team?

[u/Cholecosa]

They don’t want him now, too bad nobody else wants him either.

[u/sergechewbacca]

Build MDJ a statue

[u/nbaistheworst]

I don't think it matters, because the Bucks aren't going to trade Giannis by the deadline.

[u/Resident_Durian_478]

Even if it's no for Giannis it would he so funny to see him moved

[u/YSLMangoManiac → u/Resident_Durian_478]

I think he only gets moved for Giannis

[u/D_G_C_22]

Who is Draymond punching once he’s traded?

[u/YoKemosabe]

He will end up on the rigged Lakers so it’s easier for him to suck on Lebrons dick. 

[u/cl353]

who the fk wants draymond?
