Draymoпd Greeп will make his retυrп to actioп for the first time siпce beiпg sυspeпded by the NBA last moпth. The Goldeп State Warriors star was reiпstated after missiпg 12 games oп Jaп. 6, bυt theп missed foυr more games while brυshiпg off some rυst. However, Greeп will be available oп Moпday to face the Memphis Grizzlies.

 

 

 

Greeп’s retυrп is timely for the Warriors (18-21) coпsideriпg how Steph Cυrry aпd Chris Paυl are oυt of the pictυre. Goldeп State coach Steve Kerr has giveп Cυrry some time off to recυperate, while Paυl is recoveriпg from haпd sυrgery.

If Cυrry eпds υp sittiпg oυt agaiп, Greeп will have to do his best to take charge of Goldeп State aloпgside his bυddy Klay Thompsoп.

 

Caп Draymoпd Greeп’s retυrп tυrп thiпgs aroυпd for the Warriors?

For a while, the Goldeп State Warriors have beeп lackiпg the preseпce of a pυre big maп.

The Warriors are kпowп for rυппiпg small ball liпeυps that have affected them iп both good aпd bad ways. Bυt giveп how the team lacks a trυe ceпter, defeпse is oпe major aspect Goldeп State lacks wheп it doesп’t have Greeп. Aп eight-time All-Defeпsive team selectioп aпd the 2016-17 Defeпsive Player of the Year, Greeп has coпstaпtly provided his team with defeпse throυghoυt the years.

 

Greeп is υпdeпiably aп importaпt piece to the Warriors despite his oп-coυrt aпtics. Not haviпg him aroυпd decreases their power oп defeпse, which is a major coпcerп for a team like Goldeп State that heavily relies oп offeпse to wiп games.

Greeп, who is makiпg his retυrп oп Moпday agaiпst the Memphis Grizzlies (14-25), caп make aп impact.

 

While the Warriors defeпse might be better with Greeп back, will it be eпoυgh to stop their cold streak? Oпly Steph Cυrry has made aп impact for Goldeп State. The majority of its offeпsive prowess comes from Cυrry’s coпsisteпt greatпess oп the coυrt.

It may be time for the Warriors to make chaпges iп the liпeυp. While Draymoпd Greeп may be aп importaпt asset, they caп’t keep oп relyiпg oп the 6-foot-6 forward to play the role of a big maп. Acqυiriпg a trυe defeпsive ceпter woυld help ease the pressυre off Goldeп State.

As for the offeпsive side, the orgaпizatioп may waпt to slowly begiп a rebυild aпd get rid of some players who пo loпger provide the same efficieпt пυmbers they oпce did.

The good пews is that the Goldeп State Warriors have υпtil the Feb. 8 trade deadliпe to make thiпgs happeп. That’s oпly giveп if they decide to make some chaпges.

The Golden State Warriors have had a rough 2023-24 season thus far, sporting an 18-22 record. Trade rumors have been swirling around, with Shams Charania even stating that the Warriors have put everyone except Stephen Curry on the trade market. On the latest episode of his podcast, Draymond Green reacted to that report.

“If that (trade) ever came to fruition, you deal with that, you cross that bridge when you get there,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. “It’s not really something that I worry about. I know everybody’s saying, ‘Oh, the Warriors gotta make a trade, they’re gonna make a trade.’ I mean if you’re 18-22, how can you question anything someone does?”

The Warriors Dilemma And Tough Choices They Need To Make: Trading Klay, Draymond, Wiggins Or Young Core

 

 

As Green says, when you’ve had such a disappointing campaign, no one can really complain about potentially being shipped out of town. That applies even to the likes of Green and Klay Thompson, who have played key roles during this dynastic run that has yielded four championships.

Draymond has cost the team by missing a significant chunk of the season due to being suspended multiple times. He has only played 16 games in 2023-24 and has averaged 9.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks in them.

Thompson, meanwhile, just has not played at a very high level. He is only averaging 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. If the team feels they are better off without one or both of them, then they’ve just got to take it on the chin.

It’s just part of the business and Green says they knew that when they signed up. The 33-year-old doesn’t think he’ll be traded, but if it does happen, he claims he would be fine with it as he has learned to take the good with the bad.

One Reported Target For The Warriors Has Already Been Traded

When it came to who the Warriors might potentially target, there was one name that made a fair bit of sense: Pascal Siakam. Golden State was reportedly in the running for the Cameroonian, but the Toronto Raptors have now traded Siakam to the Indiana Pacers.

Apparently, Siakam was not all that interested in going to the Warriors. He will be a free agent in the summer and had he been traded there, had no plans of sticking around. If true, it is rather alarming that a star in the league looked at Golden State and decided that was not where he wanted to be long-term.

There was a time when everyone seemingly wanted to go to the Warriors, but that appears to be no longer the case. It will be interesting to see who they even target now.

Steve Kerr Doesn’t Believe 2023-24 Is “The Last Dance” For The Warriors

All good things must come to an end and all the great dynasties in NBA history have as well. With how the campaign has gone so far, this has been viewed as the end of the road for Golden State.

Head coach Steve Kerr, however, says 2023-24 is not “The Last Dance” for the Warriors dynasty. He pointed to the fact that they just won a championship in 2022 and he believes Curry, Green, and Thompson are capable of playing at a high level. I have no doubts that Curry can, but there are big question marks about the other two.

In a recent game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Draymond Green, who had recently returned from a suspension, found himself involved in another controversial play. In the second quarter of the game, Green aggressively drove toward the basket for a layup, encountering Jaren Jackson Jr. near the rim.

In the midst of the play, Green’s elbow made contact with Jackson’s face, leading to an offensive foul being called against Green.

The dangerous nature of the play raised concerns, especially given Green’s recent suspension. Green faced disciplinary action, and his return to the court was expected to be accompanied by a heightened sense of caution. However, the incident with Jaren Jackson Jr. suggests that Green may need to exercise more care in his on-court actions.

 

 

This is not the first time Green’s physicality has sparked controversy. In a previous matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, Green was involved in a similar incident where he narrowly avoided hitting Anthony Davis in the face. The close calls and risky plays are becoming a pattern, prompting discussions about player safety and the need for Green to adjust his playing style to avoid unnecessary and potentially dangerous situations.

As the Golden State Warriors navigate through the season, Green’s on-court behavior will likely be closely monitored, with fans, analysts, and the league paying attention to ensure the safety of all players on the court. The recent elbow to Jaren Jackson Jr.’s face serves as a reminder of the fine line between physical play and endangering opponents, urging players to prioritize safety in the intensity of the game.

Despite a challenging season for the Golden State Warriors, recent NBA rumors suggest that the team has no plans to trade two of its key players, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, ahead of the upcoming trade deadline on February 8, 2024. While the Warriors have faced a tough season and are currently at risk of missing the playoffs with a 20-24 record, the team’s management appears committed to keeping the core intact.

The decision not to trade Green and Thompson indicates that the Warriors are focused on their immediate goal of making a playoff run. Stephen Curry continues to deliver stellar performances, but the supporting cast’s efficiency has been a concern. Klay Thompson, in particular, has experienced a dip in scoring output and shooting efficiency this season.Draymond Green, known for his versatile contributions and defensive prowess, has faced availability issues, limited to 20 games due to suspensions for flagrant fouls. Despite this, the Warriors seem determined to retain the veteran forward.

The report also mentions the potential trade of forward Andrew Wiggins. However, the primary focus for Golden State appears to be keeping their core players together to make a strong push for the playoffs this season. As the trade deadline approaches, the team’s decision not to trade Green and Thompson reflects a commitment to their current roster and a desire to compete for success in the postseason.

Mario Chalmers has revisited his controversial statement from last year, where he claimed that players didn’t fear LeBron James the way they did Michael Jordan. During an appearance on The OGs Show hosted by former Heat teammates Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller, Chalmers aimed to provide clarity on his earlier remarks.

“I was basically saying that the players we went against didn’t fear Bron like the Danny Grangers, the Luol Dengs, the Jimmy Butlers. The people that we were seeing in the playoffs? They wasn’t fearing Bron because the media was killing Bron the year he came to Miami.” “Like all they did was talk about, ‘Oh, he can’t win,’ ‘He can’t do this, he can’t do that.’ Then, when we lose to Dallas, and he doesn’t have a good series, they’re killing him even more.”

 

 

Chalmers explained that his statement was misunderstood, emphasizing that he was referring to the media narrative surrounding LeBron James during the year he joined the Miami Heat. According to Chalmers, players they faced in the playoffs, like Danny Granger, Luol Deng, and Jimmy Butler, didn’t fear LeBron because the media continuously criticized him, highlighting perceived shortcomings in his game.

He pointed out that the media narrative shaped opponents’ views of LeBron, creating a situation where players believed they knew what he couldn’t do based on media reports. However, Chalmers stressed that when opponents faced LeBron on the court and witnessed his performances, the narrative changed.

In essence, Chalmers highlighted the disparity between media portrayals and on-court realities. He mentioned scenarios where opponents, who might have bought into the negative narratives, found themselves unable to stop LeBron’s dominating play, leading to a shift in perception.

Chalmers clarified that the fear factor set in when opponents realized they hadn’t accurately assessed LeBron’s abilities, and he was excelling in areas that weren’t highlighted by the media. The dichotomy between the media’s portrayal and LeBron’s on-court brilliance became apparent, as he showcased his peak form during the Big Three era, securing two NBA championships and two Finals MVP awards during his four years with the Miami Heat.

The notion that players don’t fear LeBron James is unequivocally a myth. Over the past few years, this narrative has circulated within the NBA, suggesting that opponents didn’t consider LeBron a formidable force to be feared on the court. However, a closer look at LeBron’s illustrious career debunks this fallacious claim.

LeBron James went to an unprecedented eight consecutive NBA Finals, showcasing his dominance and leadership in the league. His tenure with the Miami Heat alone resulted in four NBA Finals appearances, with two victories. He then returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, securing four more NBA Finals berths and winning another title, all in historic fashion.The claim that no one feared LeBron is challenged by the very actions of Eastern Conference stars who strategically moved to the Western Conference, avoiding direct confrontations with LeBron in the playoffs. This relocation strategy indicates a pragmatic acknowledgment of the challenges posed by LeBron James when the stakes are high.

A glaring example of LeBron’s impact is the transformation of the Toronto Raptors, a team initially confident in beating the Cavs. However, LeBron’s dominance earned Toronto the moniker “LeBronto” after he swept them twice, single-handedly dismantling their confidence and leaving an indelible mark on the franchise.

LeBron’s prowess extends beyond the regular season, with his playoff performances distinguishing him as a different kind of player. Despite facing formidable opponents in the Finals, LeBron consistently elevated his game. The only Finals loss outside the 2011 Dallas series came against historically great superteams, such as the 2014 Spurs, 2015 Warriors, and the 2017-2018 Warriors.

Even at the age of 39, overcoming a LeBron James-led team in the playoffs remains an extraordinary feat. The myth that players didn’t fear LeBron James is not only unfounded but a blatant misrepresentation of the undeniable impact and intimidation he brought to the NBA throughout his storied career.
