Rumors

Draymond Green: I know everyone is looking for a response to Dillon Brooks’ comments about podcast. He was speaking on me and Paul George doing podcasting. He said they're not good at basketball, so focus on hoops. I don't really feel the need to get in back and forth. If I was Dillon Brooks I wouldn't have too much love for this podcast either, being how he was annihilated on this podcast, possibly aided in him being traded away from the Memphis Grizzlies where he ultimately said he really enjoyed playing there. So I get it. I completely get it. And yeah he said we talk too much on our podcast, but he's been kind of going on other people's streams and just like talking too much, if you will. I found it funny. I thought it was cute like those guys talk too much on those podcast. There are some people that you can go talk to that about. You say they're not good at basketball. When I started this podcast, what made guys really comfortable with having these podcast was because I was an All-Star and an NBA champion in the same year. We heard that that noise before.

Then there's the premise of Green's age (35), particular play type and strong personality. I found it noteworthy that various league figures with knowledge of the situation pointed to how the Phoenix Suns, who sources say are still actively looking for frontcourt additions, would have been an ideal potential trade partner … at least until Dillon Brooks arrived in the desert via the Suns' deal last June that sent Durant to Houston and established himself as The Valley's new cultural heartbeat.

Where do you think Giannis is going to go, bro?” Dillon Brooks: “I heard the Warriors, bro.” N3on: “I’m not trying to see Giannis and Steph Curry on the same team, man. That would be so crazy to get a screen-and-roll with them. You’re running off to [__] Steph to try to get a three, then there’s Giannis for a dunk.

“Do you have any—someone in the chat asked—do you have any regrets in your NBA career?” Dillon Brooks: “I would say, uh, not working as hard as I did now. Like before, like I wish I worked this hard now before when I was on Memphis.” “’Cause that squad that we had in Memphis, we could have been already like on the OKC wave.” “Like actually OKC was on our wave. Like all that stuff they were doing, like that’s what we were doing from time. “They just—they just copied it. Damn flow. Try to steal our whole—our whole s***. “Like, you know, like all the—you know, after the game when you’re doing like your walk-off thing and the whole team will come and like, you know, big you up. And then like even like before like the beginning of the game when we would all like dance in the like dance in the middle and like do all different different s***.”
