I think my point is pretty clear. I don’t think it’s necessary or productive to relocate my point to an extreme end of the spectrum before responding to it.

We’ve gone from Jordan Poole is uncoachable and was uncoachable in college to saying he’s somewhere between Dennis Rodman and Tim Duncan.

Worse, we’ve gone from Draymond punching him to saying that.

I don’t understand the dislike for Poole. He was exciting, made one of the biggest shots in M hoops history, and left as a 1st rnd pick. He’s brash I guess but was great, used to love the Poole party stuff from the student section

I’m on poole’s side here so far and i was mad when I saw that but to say there is nothing he could have said to deserve that is a stretch.
I really doubt he deserved it and im sure it was Green being a bully, but im ok with someone getting laid out if they do or say something really disrespectful in life.
That’s where I’m at still.
I love Poole. He probably should’ve known Draymond is a hot-head and could swing, so dropping his hands by his side after pushing Dray off of him was a mistake, but he didn’t deserve getting punched.
Steph called that one guy’s Tweet “report” bullshit, and that JP hasn’t been a headcase.

Haynes is well respected, he didn’t make the claim up, and I’m sure he didn’t grant Draymond the anonymity to defame the guy he just cold-cocked. So somebody said it… Curry and everyone are free to call it nonsense, but someone did say it. When discussing opinions of other interpersonal behavior, people having differing opinions isn’t nuts
(It goes without saying that nothing would justify what Green did)

Haynes is known as a mouthpiece for Klutch. Shams, Woj and Haynes all are willing to report BS if their best sources tell them it. They all have biases. Like how Woj would hold water for Dumars.

Fine. Somebody told him that. I didn’t say it wasn’t someone with Klutch. But Haynes didn’t create it, someone told him.
That doesn’t make it true (and again, different peoples opinions of some else’s behavior can vary greatly, so I don’t know if a perception of another’s behavior can ever be called true or false).
The access merchants never publish outright lies, but they will echo their sources - which we have here.
I don’t think it’s nuts to say “Steph and Iggy tbink Jordan has been cool, another guy does not”.
My final opinion is this: it literally does not matter, at all, if Poole was a jerk all camp!

It was Klutch no doubt
While this is true in the past, Green did play a much less role during their latest run. As Warriors most likely can only keep two among Wiggins, Poole, and Green, it will be Green that let go. He is also an odd fit for other teams except for the warriors. There was not much rumor of other teams showing interest at least with his current price tag.

I think it’s clear that if they have a choice of paying Poole or him, the right choice is Poole. I also think it’s likely part of this “problem”.

Maybe one has to think about Zidane’s headbutt to Matterazzi’s chest in a world cup final.

Well, Materazzi is a known piece of sh#t, and Zidane is one of the coolest mofos in sports, so I have plenty excuses for that incident in my arsenal.

Zidane did basically choose to take himself out of the game there.

Draymond Green is a bully who can talk a lot of $hit but can’t take the same $hit he dishes out. And anyone calling Jordan Poole un coachable has an agenda.

Dame sticking up for his buddy Draymond.
It’s been out for awhile, but haven’t seen it mentioned:
In the (formulaic yet entertaining) Netflix basketball movie “Hustle” (which, due to Lebron’s production credit has a billion major basketball figures in it), Mo Wagner plays the early-film uncoachable bust (the German Jordan) that Adam Sandler warns the sixers not to draft.
(Anthony Edwards does well as what is basically an Apollo Creed character)
