Around the League: Week 4 (11/13 - 11/19)

[JeremyG]

Have a look at this bullshit. Draymond needs to sit for a week for that.

Is he still employed by TNT? Are they going to have him film another documentary about how this situation has affected him personally and all of the hardship it has caused for him?

[Shabazz]

Lamenting over not drafting Haliburton is approaching All Things Ayton for me without the one or two people who disagree with the obvious consensus.

We all get it. Haliburton is a great player and James Jones drafted an 8th man. There's nothing new to discuss about that mistake.

I just need an explanation. Suns fans are owed one. It's like we won a lottery (with Hali still being on the board, the perfect Suns player!), but rather than take the cash prize (or several other viable prizes) Jones said, "I'd rather see what's in that mystery box over there." Why didn't he take the cash prize??? We'd have at least one title by now.

Monty was asked about it and said something to the effect of "we really liked him, but we just couldn't get him," which only confused me even more!!!

Gah!

[Flagrant Fowl]

Oh please...

That's fine, but continuing to focus any post here about Haliburton on how the Suns screwed up isn't going to somehow get James Jones to give Suns fans the explanation you're wishing for.

I have no problem posting and discussing about Haliburton like any other player in the league, it's just rehashing how the Suns screwed it up that's beating a dead horse the same way as debating why Deandre Ayton isn't going to play up to his max contract or DOMINAYTON moniker.

[SunsSince92]

Oh please...

That's what annoys me about Kerr. Just hold your hands up and say Draymond was totally out of order and deserved to be ejected. Defending it suggests it was a debatable decision.

[Wally_West]

Id be really disappointed if they only gave Draymond a slap on the wrist and gave him a 1 or 2 game suspension. The fucking guy grabbed someone that had nothing to do with the initial altercation and started choking and dragging him across the court. What the actual fuck lmao.

I know everyone hates Rudy Gobert but I didn’t know it went that deep.

[Flagrant Fowl]

He's big. He's French. He moves like a giraffe high on ketamine. It's easy to mock Rudy Gobert.

Only someone like Draymond Green could turn him into an NBA anti-hero.

I get it…. But ask you to consider that for some, this is there place to vent with other like minded people who understand. I don’t think any of it is intended to be malicious (at least that I’ve seen) but to help them blow off their frustrations.

Don’t think I posted anything…. Sorry if it bugs you and knowing that I’ll try to refrain.

He’s such a clown….

[ShelC]

The league and Ws enable this stuff by Draymond because "that's just Draymond". I'd be surprised if he got more than 2 games. Honestly can't wait until he's out of the league. Toss up between him and Patrick Beverly.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Be careful what you wish for. He's going to be immersed in NBA media as soon as he retires.

At least he's somewhat of an interesting player to watch now, but in a few years all we'll have are his dumb takes.

[Kryptonic]

He’ll be Perk 2.0

[ShelC]

Of course he'll be on ESPN or TNT running his mouth but I can ignore that like I do all the others.

[Mori Chu]

If the league gives him a 1-2 game slap on the wrist, I'll be upset. Draymond choked a guy and dragged him halfway across the court despite multiple players and refs trying to pull him off! That's just unconscionable. He should get suspended a bunch of games, like 10+. You just can't do that. It looks really bad in the video. He could have seriously injured Gobert, or escalated a big fight between the two teams. Everyone involved is lucky Gobert is okay and that nothing else came of it.

[Split T]

I’m guessing it’ll be close but under the 8 games Ja got originally. 5-7 games.

[JeremyG]

Oh please...

He had one arm over Klay’s shoulder but that’s about it. He wasn’t choking him or anything.

[SunsSince92]

Oh please...

Plus Klay started the whole thing with McDaniels by grabbing him first. Kerr needs an eye test.

He’s gonna get 6, but he should get 12

Don't forget he started Covid in the NBA community.

Hey, dude. A choke for a choke.
