[Slater] Draymond Green said there’s a sense of urgency for him to get back quickly and in an impactful way: “I’ve cost this team enough.” He said Podziemski started a welcome back round of applause for him: “Im not sure I deserve it.” (2:33)

Good guy Podz 👍
Saying all the right things, but you gotta back it up with actions Dray.
Transcript of extended quote/portions that couldn’t fit/weren’t in the tweet:
“It’s very urgent because I’ve cost my team enough. I’ve cost this organization enough. It’s not a time for me to just come back and be like, all right, I’m going to take my time and get back when I can. No, you cost this yourself. You don’t get the grace.
Although I’m very appreciative of our organization, number one for the support. But number two, that they’re putting the plan together to ramp up. If it was up to me, I would love to come back and play right now. Reality is it’s probably not the best thing for me or the best thing from an organizational standpoint and what that looks like moving forward and the risk of injury and all those things.
…
And so there’s a huge sense of urgency and I pushed it like crazy today. I’m gonna push it like crazy every day until I can get back on the floor. Because I think it’s also important for these guys to know and understand that, that I’m not approaching this like I’m just gonna take my time to get back when I can. I’m gonna do all that I can to meet the requirements that I have to meet with our performance group in order to get back on the court. And I’m trying to do that as fast as I can, whatever work that that requires. That’s what I’ll do.”
I think it’s too damn late and he should be traded but a huge portion of this sub doesn’t care about his antics and think he shouldn’t be traded under any circumstances. The Bulls tolerated Rodman because at least he getting 20 rebounds a game.
Podz with the positive team energy.
Think he’ll come off the bench to start?
It’s a man that SOUNDS contrite. Let’s see how it’s translated. Has he learned anything? I hope. He’s a fire. He burns hot and he burns bright. We need him to be a fireplace and not a kitchen fire. Heat the house, don’t burn it down.
Problem is can a self actualized Draymond be a 6’6 center in the NBA?
That stuff requires him to go nuts
all this guy does is talk. i’m tired of talk. IDGAF about his podcast, IDGAF about his TNT career after he retires. i’ve BEEN done with him, he’s not winning me back. he’s in the middle of costing us ANOTHER season after doing so last year. fan favorites are likely going to be moved as trade assets. i also feel bad for Jordan Poole, whose career trajectory he seems to have definitively messed up after the punch. this has been such a joyless post-championship run and his fingerprints are all over it
Dudes gonna fuckin RKO a ref his first game back
If this guy keeps saying all this, then proceed to get a technical on his first game back…
I don’t know but at this point I just want to watch good basketball.
Please make sure that impact doesn’t land on anyone’s face or neck, thanks
Hope this time away will help. He’s a vital piece of the team, and without him, we aren’t winning anything. Unfortunately, I think he’s going to have an even harder time staying out of trouble. Everyone knows he’s on thin ice and that he can be provoked. Other players already try to get him to act out because they know they can and he will. I think we are going to see even more of teams trying to trigger him.
Is Draymond bipolar 🤔🤔would explain a lot of things and I could see why everyone internal gives him so much leash
Podz trying to be besties with the Big 3. Sorry buddy, you ain’t no Ty Jerome…
Touchy feely Draymond is no bueno. Just don’t choke people.
I like how he sounds.
Isn’t he the guy who said he doesn’t wake up to games in March? I just wish he behaves half as good on court as he is behind the microphone. And yes, his behavior has cost this organization and the fanbase enough.
