Stephen A. is OVER Golden State and Perk says Klay and Draymond ‘HAVE TO GO!’ | First Take

Stephen A. is OVER Golden State and Perk says Klay and Draymond ‘HAVE TO GO!’ | First Take

And look who is here in the Pinstripes there he is a p fool you know a p fool what’s up man what’s up what’s happening what’s up what’s up what’s up M what’s up sh Shay I mean look it’s no gold chains no more there no gold chains no more it’s a

Different no no no I did that because the pinstrip listen listen I don’t because it’s where iated that pinstripe suit I’m very pleased I’m very pleased big oh you are you know I’m saying here we go all right you see how upgrade you see how upgrad you it’s a standard on first T

It’s a standard wa to go my brother way to go what’s going on big perk all right Warriors not living up to the standard folks let’s get into it uh the dubs they’ve been lacking here Golden State losing to the Grizzlies 116 107 last night Warriors are now 18 and 22 on the

Season sit outside the playoff picture after losing eight of their last 11 Draymond Green returned to the court for the first time since his suspension he had this to say after the game we got to take pride in ourselves you know we keep talking about oh man these teams are hitting shots

Guys are hitting shots that they aren’t supposed to hit like we’re the Golden State Warriors I’d hit shots against us too you don’t win championships in June like it’s a process that you must go through it teams that you see cheat the process they never win you got to

Build great habits and right now team we have bad habits you know it starts with me getting suspended and all the foolishness and like I said to KRA the other day don’t don’t start with one guy one guy isn’t going to fix anything um it is a team effort and if you can’t

Compete well as a team it never work Steve you have a problem with Draymond making these comments I don’t have a problem with him making the comments he’s qualified he’s a four-time champion um we know what he brings what he’s brought to the table throughout his career but and not only

That he owned up to the fact that he’s a huge part of the problem yes here’s the reality though um big perk I got to give big perk props you called it they ain’t good enough they ain’t good enough it’s time Joe Lake up Golden State Warriors

Peter goober rest of the Golden State Warriors it’s time to break this up I I I’m over the Golden State Warriors and I’m going to tell you why I looked at the clutch time obviously clutch time uh Shannon and perk knows this last 5 minutes within five points

Do you know that Klay Thompson and clutch time while Steph Curry is shooting 51% from the field 50% from three in clutch time Klay Thompson universally recognized one of the greatest Shooters this game has ever seen is shooting 28% from the field and 26% on threes I’m sorry you know what

Playing for new contract having that kind of precipitous drop off not looking like the Klay Thompson we know and love more often than not combined with the fact that the Golden State Warriors have the worst defensive rating in the NBA this month what’s we all slept on was

How effective they were defensively all of those years they were winning that has gone by the wayside and it comes down to your personnel they’re no longer what they used to be outside of Steph Curry Kay Thompson is not what he used to be Draymond Green God bless him is

Not what he used to be all right and and in the end Andrew wiggin is exactly what I thought he was comos for most of his career with the exception of showing up in the postseason in the NBA finals against Boston a couple of years ago if

I’m Joe Lake up I’m looking at this team and whether it’s before the trading deadline or at the end of this season I’m looking at Steph Curry I’m sitting him down this week and I’m saying to him him whether it’s going to be the trading deadline next month or it’s going to be

This summer this is it we’re moving on from your regular Compadres I can’t take more of this if I’m Joe Lup that’s exactly what the hell I decide well I think you got everything out of this group that you possibly could hope if somebody would have told Joe L and and

Peter grber that they were going to get four championships in a six-year span um and two MVPs out of Steph Curry they said we gladly take it okay you’ve maximized every ounce of juice that’s in this orange it is now time to move on from Klay Thompson he’s not what he once

Was and we understand his age is the Achilles injury is the ACL injury he’s not the same Draymond is not the same that’s okay and a lot of times what’s happened is because you wanted to keep this group together you didn’t properly develop the younger guys that you had

Drafted to hope to fill these voys and that’s on Steve Kerr that’s on Steve Kerr because he tried to keep everything together it’s also on Draymond because anybody that tried to come in and break up the big three he had some type of felt some type of way about him we saw

This with Jordan P even kaminga has said that he can’t get he can’t do what he wants to do because he doesn’t want to step on the OG toes and so you’re absolutely right perk this thing needs to be blown up and I don’t know what

You’re going to get for uh for Klay Thompson but the Golden State Warriors as we once know them what we loved about them is no more and that’s okay it’s okay you won four championships people want people to stay together like the 60 Celtics did and win seven eight nine 10

Championships and the guys retire as Golden State Warriors after winning all these championships that’s not going to happen this is the 2020 type basketball is not going to happen it’s time to move on and think about this for a second over the last month we’ve heard they

Lost their Spirit that’s what Steve Kerr said Steph Curry said they have identity problem and then we heard Draymond speak and say what he said said after the game last night so the game last night should have woken up everybody right and and put they put the world on notice damn it

The Memphis Grizzlies was missing John Morant Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart all of a sudden Vince Williams Jr go out there and cook him okay and then GG Jackson looked like he performed like Michael Jackson last yesterday and mik Martin Luther look Martin Luther King couldn’t have had this dream yesterday

And I think when you look at body language when you look at the body language of Klay Thompson it’s time to make a change you cannot have your emotions and feelings tied for so long and that’s what we’re seeing right now with the Golden State Warriors right their emotions are in place they’re

Saying man we so emotionally attached to Klay Thompson we so emotionally attached to Draymond Green when the fact of the matter is both of them need to be traded both of them clay and Dre and then you need to have a conversation with Steph

And see what he want to do do you want to lose for the next two years and let us build some more or do we need to find a destination for you as well like I don’t know if Steph is ever going to want out of Golden State but at the end

Of the day right now Andrew Wiggins value is low and so you have to look at trading Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and one last thing real quick I don’t believe that Klay Thompson is done I just believe he has he needs a change he needs a change of scenery sh Shay you

Think about one of the best story lines of this weekend individually was Baker Mayfield a change of scenery could do wonders for a player in his mentality that’s what we’re not let’s be very clear none of us are saying that they’re both done we’re saying that they both

Need to be done in Golden state right so let’s be very very clear about that that’s number one number two with I number two when we talk about you know Joe ler Peter goober needing to make the change Steph Curry obviously is somebody they’re highly sensitive to and they

Should he is their Superstar and by the way he plays like a superstar on a night and Night Out basis for the most part but he’s got to be cool with this I’m not saying like literally has to be cool with it he should be cool with it you

Can’t stand Pat like this but the other person is Steve Kerr that man has to be held accountable in this regard it was his responsibility to ensure that they were develop in this young Town not Draymond Green that wasn’t great I can assure you as somebody who has spoken to

Draymond Green on several occasions Draymond Green wants those young brother brothers to step up and be able to handle their business that helps the that that helps the Vets but if they ain’t ready they ain’t ready and he had to call it like he saw it well who whose

Responsibility was it to develop him and to show confidence in them and bring them along Steve Kerr is addicted to Veterans you understand that’s how he has always been everybody knows that no matter what you’re seeing from kaminga Moody and others the reality is is that

They have been far too much time that has passed they should have been been they should have been brought along a while ago it the the process was slow rolled and so we have to look at it from that perspective and think about the level of accountability that he has as

Well again a six time four time Champion six appearances in the NBA Finals as far as I’m concerned one of the top five coaches in the history of the game but in the end it is what it is we not we I don’t like what we’re seeing yeah but

You said Baker Mayfield the difference is Baker Mayfield doesn’t have the expectations in Tampa that he had in Cleveland so Klay Thompson might not have the expectations going elsewhere that he has currently in Golden State because he was thought of as being go ahead no sh sh no I’m just talking about

Just a change of senene having that different acceptance you know what I’m saying I feel like Klay Thompson on the Lakers Klay Thompson and Philly knowing what they’re going through right now knowing what they’re going through right now for us how he feel about the offer that the Golden State Warriors put on

The table for as his contract extenstion he feel disrespected just watch his body language well he ain’t going to get that offer next year not from Golden State not I can I they not off no yeah change of scenery that first take should have when we start broadcasting from [Applause] Miami h
