Draymond Green BAFFLED at Kevin Durant “never being maximized” per Phoenix Suns GM James Jones 

*Dray lowkey recruiting Durant back to Warriors.*

Dray, you speak facts. You do it respectfully but truthfully and is able to back up what you are saying.

The Draymond Green Show needs to get an interview with Draymond Green the player and tell him to cool down on the basketball court. Especially during playoff series.

*Dray lowkey recruiting KD back to Warriors*

Dray makes good points. I keep saying it but KD is capped when you cut him from catching the ball below the elbows and when you get physical with him. The movement from Curry Thompson and Green helped this because they kept bodies off him. But he’s just not the player people want him to be. He’s a SCORER. That’s it that’s all. Can be decent in other areas but that’s not him. It’s why when he’s in playmaker role he often gets sloppy and his turnovers go up. Look at his time in BK and PHX.

As a Suns fan, the hyperbole being used is extra frustrating because you could argue that the Suns have actually limited KD's potential and misused him more egregiously than any team has thus far. Monty's .5 system did a much better job of getting KD to his spots, using him in multiple roles with P&R actions, and people even complained about that. Aside from the Vogel (and Kevin Young) discussion, you could make a point that it was an experimental year and nobody on Phoenix felt comfortable offensively, but to say what he said is AND in the same breathe say that Frank Vogel did a great job, that he doesn't think think they need a PG and that they're basically going to run it back is pretty wild. That's the reality aspect. The other aspect is fan perception. I get what James is trying to do; I agree with Dray that he's trying to take some of the pressure off KD, but he's also trying to reassure the fans. Everything that was said Wednesday was about reassuring the fans. It was optimism without any real accountability. And the timing of it, with the Suns having just been swept, reports of KD being unhappy with his utilization AND knowing Suns fans were frustrated with that, as well, it comes off as patronizing and insulting to the fans collective intelligence.

Coming from a KD fan since I was 11 years old (28 years old now) this is all facts from Draymond. Warriors unlocked the best KD I ever watched, the closet thing I’ve seen to Warriors KD is KD with Steve Nash. Only thing that held that team back was kyrie and hardens injuries vs the Bucks. The Duns use KD terribly and he still had his most efficient season ever. There’s ZERO sets ran for KD besides PNR, they just want him to go one on one all game. SMHHH

DRAY IT WOULD BE DOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS BALLIN AGAIN ON THE TEAM! LETS GET A DUB NEXT YEAR!

time to recruit kd back to the warriors dray 🙏🏼

You know how to maximize Stephen Cuury? Be professional, control your emotions, don’t get ejected, don’t cost your team a championship, don’t repeatedly get suspended, don’t let your absence put your team in jeopardy of play in tournaments & a season long challenge of figuring out its identity & don’t keep making empty apologies. Hypocrite.

What made the small ball successful before? is that they are fast and they can rain 3’s at will. And made those bigs obsolete. Now those advantage are gone as all the big men now can shoot, defend well and even shoot 3s too. Its a new era again. Warriors wants another ring? they need a legitimate center who can defend and can score on his own, not just another support player who can be used as pick and roll. Too much reliance on Steph is hurting the team. We all have to agree his shooting percentage has dropped, and inconsistency makes it worse. We need all the offensive help we can get.

*"Brand new Draymond Green Show"* Juicy.

Talk that talk Dray!

Honestly with Kd playing style, he’d be a great fit with Zion on the pelicans

Steph has to do so much playing with you. I would Trade Looney Kuminga and You plus a pick to Phoenix for Kd.

lol he called James Jones James Johnson

This shows how egomaniac the higher ups are when dealing with their obvious mistakes.

Yep this is the truth about my team

What has James Jones ever done to not be fired yet dumpster fire in phx

Durant was everything you wanted on Warriors. Did everything.

Dre speaks truth

PERFECT

Durant back to the Warriors confirmed!! Let’s go

All facts and hillarious. But maybe don’t be helping them learn how to retool the team when you gotta face them in a few months.

Like it or not draymond is 100% on point with rhis .kevin was #2 in blocka when he played with warriors along with leading team in scoring... warriors unlocked kd because he could go out and just play lighthearted with minimal burdens

But also You just want to point out KD had literally picked the teams he’s gone to since he left okc he went to golden state he went to Brooklyn where he brought kyrie and James harden then went to the suns so you can’t say teams don’t know how to maximize him when KD has heavy input in who you put around him

DRAYMOND 🥰

Facts.

Kevin Durant needed Nick Nurse not Vogel.

Bro why did Kd leave !!! Golden state he could pf been the nba darth vader smfh

Imagine if KD returns to the Warriors and LeBron joining them before he retired

Finally someone said it. KD looked old and injured on defense.

New Media Dray putting up content when he should have been playing in the playoffs

They better draw ✍🏾 up them plays for KD

James Johnson?? 😂

I love the disrespect of james jones by calling him james johnson. He was delusional for saying nobody has ever maximized him

😂 %100 true dray . These guy's really don't know what there talking about

Comentário bem tirado.

Wasnt james jones it was the owner

KD can rap his ass off.. Him & Snoop dog need to colab Yes, KD plz come back to the Dubs. 4 splash bros

Dray told no lies here

Kd needs to go back to warriors

Remember the couldn’t extended you Kevin Durant because you were injured you were hurt at the point you Kevin Durant said warriors din not mishandle your injuries at any time but yes that 2019 NBA finals game where obviously n yes game you want play n you Kevin Durant says to it was a revolve rotate turn

Kevin Durant should still be warriors basketball player

KD is in his mid 30s. He’s not 24 and doesn’t do the same things he once could do. KDs prime ended around 2016.

james jones, thn whyyyyyyyyy u guys proceeded to put him in the corner. i think the suns are scared kd is out

We don’t respect those numbers from kd on the warriors yall beat kd when okc was up 3-1 kd can’t win without yall

“You’ve been on the wrong side of Kevin Durant being maximized” ❤

KD had an amazing year defensively. They are talking like KD fell off and he cooked this year

Bro must’ve blocked 2017 era warriors from his memory completely to say some nonsense like that. 😂😂 one of the best teams of all time but Kevin wasn’t maximized?!?

You wanna maximize Kevin Durant take down his twitter accounts

KD touched, he coming back now

Dray W

Me agreeing with draymond green

Draymond when you're not beating up your teammates over the summer, who do you beat up on?

I’m sorry but how did okc not maximize Kevin durant he won a mvp and multiple scoring titles averaging 30 how is that not maximizing Kevin durant

How do u maximize Kd? Oh, I know, surround him with 3 other potential hall of famers. Looooool. Stop it.

KD should go to kings

Yea of course his defense n offense was better with the warriors yall was a 73-9 team prior to him coming of course he was doing all that look who he was playing with. It’s crazy to me that kd get to get all these excuses all the time. His failures is because of him and his hopping around he should of stayed in Brooklyn they had the pieces suns don’t before they traded to get him

Is it just me or does Dray want him back

KD will never go back to the warriors. He left because of jealousy. He wanted fans to commit to him when he never committed to them. He never got it. So KD leaving Steph is going to go down as the ultimate nba blunder. Together they were unstoppable. But KD gave that up and joined……. (Harden and kyrie?)😭 How easy would it be to just admit “you know what, I made a brash decision after the Draymond altercation,” and then just go run it back with his hall of fame pairing one more time. He would come out looking like the bigger person and a reasonable human being. Relatable and a winner. People who make mistakes are relatable. Big egos are not. But ego makes us stubborn. “We don’t need anyone, we’re gonna build our own thing with crazy kyrie or Booker aka Cheap klay knock off.” Then that’s where the jokes about KD start. Especially knowing the media goaded you into the bad decision to leave not because they care about KD but because they wanted to see Lebron enjoy more success than KD. And it worked.🤣

This is a “I Hate KD Podcast”. Why does beep keep KD in his mouth???? Still angry he left GD. It just further affirms that they needed him and was angry he left

Drey, with respects u shouldn’t talking about maximizing , cause u re the one who is wasting Steph s last years of playing

James who? lol

Now you talked all of that trash about the New York Knicks and about Jalen Bronson, and you want to quote Paul Reed, or quote this, the New York Knicks win in 6, and you haven't posted a video about that and they won last night. Oh you don't have the time Mr Draymond Green, you got plenty of time, you're sitting your ass on the couch right now.

Genuine question for the other commenters, who you got HIGHER ALL-TIME, Anthony Davis or Draymond Green?

Why am I being watched for cocaine and ecstasy both organizational investigations

This man should NEVER mention KD... EVER! Because of his weak minded insecurities, Draymond helped destroy the "Greatest Dynastic Team" this league had seen, to date...by running KD, the BEST pure player they've ever had, away from that team.

When do the KD excuses end? The facts now show that KD is a good scorer but he's not good enough to be the number one option on a nba championship team!

Glad to see you are using your voice here to expand knowledge of the game and business. However, what I want to know is how you going to stop being so emotional in your response to adversity, with all of your ejections which is detrimental to the team. I don't know if you know this or appreciate it but it is extremely obvious your FRIENDS who have gone to the front office to make sure you get paid at GS. And your FRIENDS need you to help them the team make the playoffs where you guys have a punchers chance to win. You guys don't have a good percentage for the play ins. You guys have gone far into the post season when you make the playoffs!

U coming off as too much of a hater now man.

So no one's gonna talk about how Warriors-KD hadn't ruptured his achilles and was 6 years younger?

Bruh bron had delly on his team as a starting pg😂 yall not losing against one man ,

Thug

Lol

When will people realize KD is not a leader by any means!! 16 years in the league, Zero Ring's without The Warrior's!! Too much of an Iso player!! KD ain't winning anymore rings, bet that.

Gsw could have won two or more championships if it's not because of you backpack of 30!!!

Bro shut up draymond u just making content

This show is ass now

Hey dray, you boys pulled the ultimate weenie move, I mean getting Durant there at that time 2”was what Garcia did to dev, cheating 😂 Ryan came in 3lbs over & juiced, lmao that’s what yall did in nba form! Jones is right, that’s not maximizing that’s cheating

Lmao@ james johnson

Lol
