about that, and that's okay. You have the right to feel the way you want to feel. I cannot change that. I will not try to change that. Although some of you come on my Instagram on the Draymond Green Show page Instagram and try to change the way I feel, you can't change that. And so there's that for you. We are going to talk a few things trade deadline, about all things trade deadline, and then also our big win and closing out a four to one road trip against the Indian the.

so good when I don't have a haircut. And my barber, Brownie Blends, who's been my barber for eleven years now, ten years, eleven years, eleven years.

old saying. And it's not quite that I don't want to see him do better than me, because I want to see all my brothers do great, and I want to see him do well. But like the shop is like pulling him like left and right, and I can't get haircuts anymore. And so for all our subscribers out there, go spam at Brownie Underscore Blends on Instagram and give me a haircut because it's bad out here and I

can't get like bruh as the super Bowl weekend. Oh we got to shop, Like, I can't get a haircut and it's bad and I want to go to super Bowl too, you know, so please do that for me. Spam it. Let's go treat them like like the Swifties or something like that. Like go ahead the Instagram comments like that every picture Draymond needed a haircut. Go kill

his Instagram right now. Let's get into it. Does beat the Pacers one thirty one, one oh nine four and one on the road trip, only lost being the Hawks and overtime, which is a game that a we still could have won. Dejonte hit a tough shot to send in the overtime and de Jontey took over and overtime. But also it was huge not having Andrew Wiggins to guard Trey Young. That is wigs match up, and Trey Young gave us hell and possibly got himself into the

replacement in the All Star Game with that game. But Tray gave us absolute and complete hell and we end up losing that game. But nonetheless, a four and one East Coast nine ten day road trip you can't beat that. We'll take it. Things are starting to move in the right direction for the dub sitting here at twenty four and twenty five to one game under five hundred with four games before the All Star Break for us, very important that we would want to go into the All

Star Break above five hundred. Ideally, things are really starting to turn. And man, our young guys are rolling. Jonathan Mingo, we've all been talking about him. We know he's rolling. Gie Santos thirteen to eight last night, playing really good basketball, giving us a spark on this road trip. Lets you key on playing really good basketball, VP rolling. It's great to get young Moses Moody back. Shout out to Trace Jackson Davis getting a couple of buckets at home last

night in the great state of Indiana. It was good to see the young guys are really coming along, and that is how you hope it will go. You know, when you're when you're in a stage of like we got stars that we've been rolling with and winning with for years, they're now starting to get older in age, you know, and then you got young guys when trying to bridge that gap. That's always tough thing to do. And we've had our struggles. We've had our first shair

of struggles. But them young guys starting to turn the corner. They starting to figure it out, and it's been beautiful to see. You got like Lester and Gee and specific who those guys have spent a ton of time in the G League. And I was telling Jack him before we got on here, like you can the difference in you know, the amount of time that they spent in the G League. In the G League, you get like four practices a week, and so you're constantly learning, you're

constantly drilling these things. And you look at those guys and you're like, man, they know how to play. But that's why because they've been in the G League, our G League, and our our G League coaching staff and our Golden State Warriors coaching staff work closely together. They're in constant communication. Obviously, the g lea RG League coach this year is Nick Kerr, coach Steve Kerr's son, and

Nick is doing a fabulous job, an incredible job. All this players respect him, and those guys are winning a lot of games. And before that was Seth Cooper. Seth Cooper is now back on our staff running player development, did a great job down there. Before that, it was Chris Williams. Chris Williams is now on the front of

our bench, and so you see the continuity. Before Chris, I think it was Aaron Miles who Aaron Miles was on our coaching staff and then took a job at Boston and it's now in New Orleans with Willie Green,

and so you see the conuity. You see how people the team is using the G League as like a farm league system like baseball, and those young guys are really learning how to play, and so now you're putting them in these games and they helped us win games on this road trip, and so that's been great to see. Steph Curry had forty two points last night, started the game seven seven from three.

you gotta respect it. I think Steph Curry took that person. As you can see, he came out last night in complete menace mode, absolute menace mode from the gate. He was locked in some of the threes he shot to start the game, Like when he come out shooting like that just was like no conscience. I already know what type of time it is, and I enjoy those games in particular. I try to get the hell out the way.

Uh you know it's sometimes Steph has those games and you just sit back and for me personally, I get a front row like better than court side seat to watch it. And my goal and my job is to get the hell out of the way and watch him work.

Steph Curry was. In turn, we rolled held the number one team and the number one offensive team in the NBA, to one hundred and nine points. That team averages around one hundred and twenty a game. And Tyre's Halliburton was also held only five points, his lowest of the season. Got to give guys a lot of credit. Andrew Wiggins did an incredible job on him. Jonathan Mingo was switched on him sometime, Lester Keenonez did a credible job. Whoever

got matched up did Moses a couple of times. Incredible job. And our team defense, our shelle was great, and our transition defense was absolutely incredible. And playing against a team like that, they getting the ball out and they are running a couple of times, especially in that first half, I was gassed, like whoa first quarter before I got that break, dying them young guys is pushing that tempo and hally Burton all star starter. To hold him to

five points was absolutely incredible, absolutely amazing. That was also coming after holding Tyrese Maxi to twelve points on Wednesday. So again Andrew Wiggins matchup, which kind of spins you back to what I was talking about with Trey Young, like that Wiggs is our guy. That's going to go guard those guards. That's fast, that's super athletic. Wiggs is

our guy to do that. And so that's kind of the proof of the put and not saying Wigs was gonna lock up Trey Young, kind of trying to give you some perspective here, and so shout out the Wiggs. He is the turnaround that you're seeing in the Dove season and his defensive turnaround, the way he's now defending again two way. Wigs is one of the driving forces in us turning this thing around, and how important he is to this team.

the NBA, number four offense, number seven defense. I think that's we always talk about being in the top ten and offensive rate and being in the top ten and defensive rating. I think one time. Out of our four championships, maybe we were like eleven defensively or something like that. And so the proof is in the pudding. The numbers are there. They're speaking for themselves, and as I said, I think this thing is really turning around for us. That is enough on the doves. Let's get into this

trade deadline. We're gonna run through this. The New York Knicks, the New York Kniggs get Bojan Bogdanovich that is Bojan Bogdanovich from the Detroit Pistons and Alec Burks for Evan Fournier, Malaki Flynn and Quinn Grimes. Malachi Flynn don't see the court. Evan Fournier hasn't seen the courting since they signed him to that contract, and Grimes is in and out of lineup. They made out extremely well. So now you look at

these trades. They got Bojan Bogdanovich and Alec Burks and Ogiannobi without giving up a single first round pick.

of playoffs the last two years. So the key to them getting to the NBA Finals is or to the conference finals. I'm not even going to get ahead of myself's the NBA Finals. Let's just go conference finals. Julius Randa is going to have to play well. Julius Randall can't have tough playoff series in that team win, it just won't happen. And so Ju play well and it

opens up things for them. Like I said, Jew's last couple of playoff runs haven't been great, So they're going to need Ju to be Jue, the Jew that is in the regular season causing have it All, NBA Performer, All Star performer, the max player that the New York Knicks paid. They're going to need him to be that same guy in the playoffs in order for them to take that next step. Overall, I think the New York Knicks definitely got better. They they one percent got better,

and we'll see where at least them. But they got depth, they got sized, they got shooting, they got playmaking, and it's gonna be a log jam. So it's also gonna be interesting to see who gets those minutes. You know, they still got Josh Hartz, they still got Dante uh Jalen. You know, they still got quite a few. So it's

gonna be a bit of a log jam. We'll see how the minutes play out, and that's we know Tom Thibodeau played his starters thirty five plus minutes a game, so it'll be interesting, like to see how Tibbs navigate his coaching style where he plays his starter so many minutes a game. And now you got the type of

depth that they've built up. That's gonna be interesting. All of a sudden, you get those guys have never won anything, so when you start talking about like, hey, you need to sacrifice for us to win, they don't know what that looked like. They did not know what that looked like, So that can cause chemistry issues and so it's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out. But overall, on paper, I think they one hundred percent got better.

I don't think anybody would disagree with that. The Oklahoma City Thunder also got better. They got they traded for Gordon Hayward for Trey Man, who I think, by the way, I think Trey Man got gain. I think Trey Man has a chance in this league, but unfortunately got caught in a log jam in Okay see where they're drafting three first round picks per year and you get one year to kind of show what you got in and they're looking at the next first round pick the next year.

And he just got caught in that log jam. But anytime he played, you were able to see, or he go down to the G League, you're able to see the skills that the young guy has. And then also he's been studying under Shay, and Shae is one that has had to improve each and every year to become who he's become. And he's gotten a chance to get a first front row seat and watching that and it seemed like Shaye took him under this wing and took a liking to him. So I know he's been teaching

them a lot. Looking forward to seeing what Trey Man go to Charlotte and do and so we'll see how that plays out. They also got Diavis Burton's and the trade Charlotte Hornets for Gordon Hayward. Davis Burtons hasn't seen the course since he signed that deal, and.

uh Man, Grant. I can't even keep up with the amount of people that Grant Williams has gotten into it this year. So I'm not sure. I'm not in Dallas's locker room. I can't tell you all the things that went wrong, But what I will say is I don't think they got the Grant Williams they thought they were bringing in, just even by seeing him get into it with like all of these different people, like it's just not really something that you've ever seen from Grant Williams. And so.

concept of money. I'm not like someone that has made good money and lost reality of like how much money twelve and a half million dollars is. But twelve and a half million dollars in a grand scheme of the NBA salary cap, it's not a lot of money. And so teams will take make that salary like no problem, Like, yeah, we'll take that, And before you know it, Grand Williams can be traded three times in the next year and

a half. You know, all of a sudden, he gets moved at the end of this year because Charlotte decided they're going in a different direction. And then you go to a team and you get moved at that deadline because just something they wanted to make something else happen, and you're worth the money to throw in to make it work. And so that's what Grand Williams has to figure out and be careful of, because that's what starts

happening in this league. A guy get moved once from a team that signed him to a deal, and then you just all of a sudden, you look up and that guy's on a bunch of different teams. And so it'll be interested in us to watch Grand Williams path. No, he's a very smart dude. It'll be interesting to watch his path and see if he can get it figured out. I think that's also a lesson to like young guys

in this league though. Where they're smoke, there's fired, by the way, so and all the news coming out that he rubbed people to wrown Way and Dallas and all he did, because they are not just trading you that fast. They're where they're smoke, there's fire. I don't know anything specific. I'm not an NBA insider. I'm not about to go try to dig up dirt. That's not what you're getting here. This is the new media. But what I will tell you is where there's like I said, where there's smoke,

there's fire. And for Grant Williams George's young guys in general, understand understanding your role in this league is extremely important. Understand why you get what you get in this league is extremely important. When you're playing with a guy like a Jason Tatum, with a guy like Jaylen Brown on a team Marcus Smart on the team that's going to the NBA Finals, and your role is as such, don't get so ahead of yourself that you don't realize the

ingredients to your success. And so for all these years, people are like, oh, Draymond benefit off off Stephan Clay and what has Draymond always said? Duh? Of course I do not gonna sit here and act like the way those guys shoot the ball don't benefit me in the way I play, of course.

twelve years. Happens fast. So to the young guys out there, keep your eyes open. Know what your role is. Learn your role, Master your role. Become a master in your role. You can never become a star. And unless you become a master in your role first. So there's that the Bucks trade for Patrick Beverley for Campaign and a twenty twenty seventh second round pick. Going back to the Philadelphia seventy six ers, I saw a lot of people saying, oh man, that's a big loss for the Philadelphia seventy

six is. What that says to me is Joel ANDB not coming back this year. We can get a twenty twenty seven second round pick. We don't believe we can win with Joel out. But you know they're reeling a bit already. I think they've lost seven of their last eight, and I just don't think they believe that they can do much without Joel and B. Which is why you saw Daniel House move, which is why you saw Marcus Morris move, which is why you saw Patrick Beverley move.

perimeter defense being a huge one. The Bucks traded away Drew Holliday, they traded away Great Allen, their two best perimeter defenders. In turn, Adrian Grifford got fired because their defense was trash and so because their defense was so bad, they were still in second place in these but you just can kind of see like they're not gonna win with that defense. And so the Bucks shore some things up with Patrick Beverley. Patrick Beverley and Dame has had

their run ins. I know Dame, Dame my dog very well. Dame is one who stands on business. I saw Dame put out a quote saying, listen, personal issues. He's my teammate now, like I'm trying to win. Personal is shoes are what they are. It's my teammate trying to win. And I respect that because I think it helps them. I think it helps Dame. I think it helps their entire team with what Patrick Beverley is going to bring

to that team. And like you said, anytime a team is in win now mold a guy like Patrick Beverley is a guy you want on your roster. And as you can see with the trail, so I think that made the Bucks better for certain the Timberwolves.

I back up? Like, yes, there's an obvious difference. There's an obvious difference, obviously, But just know that being a backup point guard in this league being a great one, asks Jared Jack, sets you up just fine, and being a great backup point guard, ask Steve Kerr, set you up just fine, and being a great backup point guard in this league, asks Darren Collison, set you up just fine. And so don't get so caught up and I need

to be starting. I need to be doing this. I'm happy as hell to see Monte going to the Timberwolves. Not from a Timberwolves standpoint, because I obviously want to beat the hell out of them, but Monte is a little brother to me from Flint, Michigan. I'm from Saginaw, Michigan. No Monte since he's probably in middle school, and to see his growth, for him become a pro going to

Iowa State, not get recruited by the Michigan schools. Really, when I say Michigan, I mean my love my album out of Michigan State and also the University of Michigan. He goes to Iowa State leads I think, if I'm not mistaken, the all time leader and the sister turnover ratio and in the NCAA history, goes and puts together a great career and then has nobody believe had to take the long route into the NBA, figured it out,

became the best backup point guard in the NBA. Happy to see him get back to that situation because winning basketball for Monte is what makes Monte special. So him having the opportunity to play that, it's going to be big for him, It's going to be big for the Timberwolves. Although I don't care about it being big for the Timberwolves. I only care about it being big for monte And before we get out of here, well before we move

on from the trade deadline. Last, but most certainly not least, the one that meant the most to me, the Warriors trade and Corey Joseph to the Indiana Pacers for a second round pick. That trade sucks. That sucked from like a phrase standpoint, it sucks for me as a player who's's gotten to build a relationship with Corey Joe, one of the most professional guys I've ever seen, works every single day, do to play pick up with the young guys because you know, he's not playing a ton of minutes.

And Nigga put in the game the same night. You're thirteen.

because he deserves that. The way he's been in this league, the professional that he is, a bunch of teams can use a Corey Joe on their team, ask can we Like I said, sometimes it's just a number game and it just doesn't work out. But Cory Joe, thank you for what you brought to this team, the vibes you brought every day the Blu Ray Games was great. And this ain't no, This ain't no. En Man, I got mad love for Corey Joe. Definitely gonna stay in touch

with him. A great dude, nothing beloved and obviously also you know he a part of the Mob, one of the original originators of the Mob, by the way, one of the first guys to sign with Clutch early on in the at the inception of Clutch Sports group, Cory Joe much love my dog.

as you get older, you mature more. And I think eight just didn't give a damn about anything, Like eight didn't care what you thought.

love those things. But for me personally, my all time favorite Kobe moment was when I got to stop on cold he slapped me on the leg. I'm like, yeah, today, ain't have nothing to do with you, young fella. I just missed game winning shot. Mark Jackson put me in a few seconds left in the game, like, yo, you got Kobe. WHOA Okay. I think I played twenty seven seconds that game. I had to get a stop to go and send again and overtime and didn't get a stop to win the game in overtime.

she ain't. You just know I missed. Ain't got nothing to do with you. That's my all time favorite Kobe moment. Personal to me, may not be personal to you, but it said, what's my all time favorite moment? Maybe y'all tap in let us know what you all time favorite Kobe moment is. Man, it's incredible to see the staft you uh eighty one point walking off with the one finger up. Absolutely incredible. Even more incredible to know there's two more statues coming. Well deserved a man Kobe different

than anybody. They don't love you like that? Watch love.
