    Exactly, heading into the season Okafor was actually being projected to be the #1 pick, KAT really took the top spot as the season progressed.

    I didn't say he was considered the #1 guy before the season. But by the time that draft came around, he was viewed as a huge catch and franchise cornerstone.

    That’s worse than I thought. I was thinking like a scrum after a loose ball or something.

    Beyond the obvious issue of Draymond punching him like that, seems like a real issue going forward that someone associated with the Warriors leaked that video to TMZ a day after GS leadership tried to basically sweep the incident under the rug and say it wasn't a big deal. Clearly someone (or a group of people) think it's big enough to leak make sure people see it.

    Completely agree with this. I think the leak is going to be a pretty big issue too.

    It wouldn’t be surprising if bad blood persists. He pushed him out of his face but that amounts to a cheap shot.

    A college buddy of mine is the one who sold TMZ the video of Mel Gibson with his arms around two college girls from the night he got the dui and went on the anti-Semitic rant. He made enough off that video to start his own business and still gets a check for 10s of thousands anytime Gibson gets back in the news. A video like this sold to TMZ is likely much more profitable than the staffer’s salary with the front office.

    Not doubting that part at all. TMZ definitely made it worth his/her while.

    More just the Warriors can probably count on 1-2 hands at most the names of people they need to look at before finding whoever it was.

    No idea what to make of that. He fucking smoked him.

    Cynically, Draymond has tens of millions of reasons to want Poole to want out of GS or get frozen out of the team or have a bad season or not have a season at all.

    I’m not sure how you don’t suspend draymond there. It sucks but that is waaaay worse than what happed with KD. You can’t bumrush a coworker in the fucking office. You apologized huh? Get fucked. Here’s 100k fine and and a 10 game suspension without game checks.

    Every one on the Warriors hates Poole, that much is clear. This is Draymond just being the natural born leader he is.

    Yeah, but that wasn’t the bad comment from that. The one that caught my attention was when Poole came up with the mic to “interview” klay and klay said something to the effect of “watch out, now he’s trying to take your jobs too.”

    it’s sports. They are competitive. But klay is about as stream of consciousness honest as it gets.

    They both have said that there was no reason for it and that Poole hadn’t done anything to deserve it despite the klutch tweet. Dre via the below tweet and Steph in media time after practice.

    how much do you think TMZ paid for that Draymond video? you are likely to get fired for it (hell --- every person on the video staff might) so you definitely need $100k+, right?

    I mean those Gibson photos from forever ago, which only provided color for the main story, were a few hundred thousand. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear that this was 7 figures plus future royalties.

    Was watching a Bay Area radio show on YouTube earlier that mentioned the practice video is likely available to all the players as well for them to review their practice video on their own time. Just saying it might not be video staff that leaked it. Would be hilarious if Dray leaked it himself.
